    I don't think Crash is so important for Sony seeing him appear to every rival console... Sony is not like Sega who had to do this with Sonic (Sega isn't a rival anymore).

    thats not a bad price for such juicy information. I still have The Ultimate History of Video Games still sitting on my shelf unread though.

    I never would have guessed that about BioShock's opening. That just goes to show how important creative freedom is in the production process.

    The best thing to come out of Crash were those commercials. R.I.P. Crash.

    I have to agree with Kutaragi : Crash Bandicoot is pure sh*t!

    Interesting article, just ordered this book because it does sound like a good read

    I always thought bejeweled sounded like bedazzled. That name sucks.

    Perhaps when the Kindle version costs less I will pick it up, but I just can't stomach paying more for a digital version of a book than the physical copy.

    Holy shit, you triggered a major flashback with that Popeye game. I used to have that game for the Intellivision. It was fantastic!!!!! Very underrated.

    Nice, I knew the Popcap one, there name was made due to hey you know nobody would ever say these three words together reasoning. Diamond Mine is my favorite mode in Bejeweled 3.

    Terrible name for the book (and yes, I do know the history). Also, there's a word missing in the sentence directly under the BeJeweled title screenshot. High Scores! is an interesting video game history book as well.

    Interesting stories, Il keep an eye out for the book.
