Zoom dub) and Suguru Geto in Jujutsu Kaisen) voiced Dr. Neo Cortex, the main antagonist of the Crash Bandicoot video game series since the 2004 release of Crash Twinsanity (where he took over that role from Clancy Brown after Crash Nitro Kart was released around November 2003) and had since received positive reception for his incredible performance as the diabolical doctor bent on world domination?

Bashing with Crash 24 years ago | Thursday, 11.07.24

Exactly 24 years ago, Crash Bandicoot players got a taste of that whole "Mario Party-vibe" when Eurocom Entertainment Software developed Crash Bash, a multiplayer action party game where players play as one of the eight characters in almost 30 minigames to determine if good or evil is the strongest side.

And also...

Did you know that Mark Cerny had a part in its development on the game (besides the other 4 games that were previously developed by Naughty Dog)?

1 Year Ago: Crash Team Rumble | Thursday, 06.20.24

Exactly a year ago, Activision released Crash Team Rumble, a 4V4 multiplayer game pitting iconic Crash Bandicoot characters against each other in a competitive team vs. team sport by scoring the most Wumpa Fruit on their team before their enemies do.

developed by Toys For Bob, studio behind several Skylanders games, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time

over 8 playable characters to choose from, each with their own unique movesets and playstyles

over 8 maps based on the levels from Crash 4 (ex: Tiki Towers, Just Beachy, and Calamity Canyon)

real-time strategy is a key factor for this game (meaning, you'll have to work with your teammates more often by scoring Wumpa Fruit, capturing Gems across the maps all while impeding the enemy team's progress)

Competitive - play matches on random maps to and score 2000 to Wumpa Fruit to win while leveling up your favorite characters (and filling up your battlepass)

Party Mode (added in Season 2) - a 4-player co-op mode where players work together to clear waves as fast as they can to earn stars (and an opportunity to defeat specific bosses like Uka Uka in "Speed Run" or Nitrous Oxide in "Bounce Balloons")

TFB Shuffle (added in Season 2) - shuffles random game modes like "Capture The Flag" (steal the enemy team's flag and bring it your team's bank to score) or "KO To Boost" (K.O. enemy players to secure a boost for your team)

So, did you get all of that? Then get in on the action right now because Crash Team Rumble is available now!
