The other day we reported on the possibility that the Crash Bandicoot franchise was being sold back to Sony, but as it turns out that isn’t the case. This is according to a statement released by Activision whose spokesperson was quoted as saying to GameInformer, “Activision owns Crash Bandicoot and we continue to explore ways in which we could bring the beloved series back to life.” Assuming that this is the case, and that Activision isn’t trying to throw us for a loop, why is the website still down, and why is the game still not listed on Activision’s website? Could it be that negotiations are in the process and they don’t want us to know?
Crash Bandicoot was one of the original games for the first Sony PlayStation and was rather iconic given that the game was pretty played on every demo PS1 unit out there, especially since the game was a great way to show off what the console could do. The game was originally developed as a PlayStation exclusive for Sony by Naught Dog studios before it was sold to Activision who have not made a Crash Bandicoot game in years. In any case what do you guys think? Are you bummed that the franchise had not been sold back to Sony where it might see a revival on the PS4?

One of the more iconic games back in the days of the PlayStation 1 was none other than Crash Bandicoot In fact if one could recall seeing PS1 demo units out in stores, Crash Bandicoot would be the game that would be playing at the moment. According to a recent leak, it has been suggested that a new Crash Bandicoot title could be making its way onto Sony’s PlayStation 4 and while we’re not sure if the listing was made in error, new rumors had surfaced suggesting that Sony could be looking to buy back the franchise from Activision.

Custom Activision/Atari 2600 Action Figures: If Only River Raid Had a Person in It
Posted in: Today's ChiliLooking back at the Atari 2600, it really wasn’t very good until Activision came along and raised the bar for graphics and sound for the early 8-bit console. To commemorate these classic games, Chicago Toy Collector Dan Polydoris created this nifty set of custom action figures.
The set of five action figures got their start as various G.I. Joe characters, but they’re now sporting that perfect Activision 8-bit look. While Pitfall Harry is surely the most recognizable of the bunch, the other games were all pretty solid too – especially H.E.R.O. – though I never knew its protagonist’s name was Roderick.
Awesome job, Dan. These are all quite special. I only wish you would make a little burglar dude for Kaboom!
