Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

Crash Bandicoot 2 was originally developed by Naughty Dog. It was released for the PlayStation platform in 1997, and then later rereleased in 1998 in Sony’s greatest hits collection.

For the game play you still play as Crash but this time around instead of trying to destroy the world, Cortex is trying to save it. Crash is then allowed on the N. Islands so he can collect all the crystals and they will have the power to control the planetary alignment. Overall this is a good game, it has good graphics and sound quality for the time it came out. This game is one of my all time favorites for sure.

Crash Bandicoot

Crash Bandicoot is a little bit of an older game but is one of the best. The original developer of the Crash Bandicoot series is Naughty Dog. Sony first produced it for the PlayStation platform. Crash Bandicoot was first released in 1996. This game was a big hit right away and is still one today.

Crash Bandicoot is of course the protagonist in this game. He was an experiment created by the antagonist Dr. Neo Cortex. The setting is on an island and you go through playing on different levels. As you go through each level you have the ability to jump, spin, slide, and belly flop. You also only have a certain number of lives, where when you lose them all a game over pops up and after that you can continue from the last level. To obtain more lives you collect wampa fruit and after getting a hundred you get one more life. This is by far one of my favorite games of all time, and I would like to buy a PlayStation 3 just to get all of these games again.

Halo Reach

Halo Reach was released September 14, 2010. Reach was only released for the X Box 360 for the reason that it was produced by Microsoft. On its launch date it gained a gross of $200 million, setting a new record for the Halo franchise. Players who bought ODST were eligible to play a somewhat demo of the game before it was released; this was mainly to get out some of the bugs of the game.
This game is set on the planet Reach, were the humans are trying to keep it from the covenant taking it over. This game is somewhat different from the rest of the Halos for the reason that you do not play as Master Chief, but as a different super solider named Noble Six. This game over all is pretty fun, the campaign was interesting and the story line was pretty good. Where it really matters though is the multiplayer and it was good for this game.
