'Crash of the Titans' set to release, Zeus weeps

Sierra Entertainment announced today "Crash of the Titans." No, it isn't a take on "Clash of the Titans." Not without making it impure with the addition of everybody's favorite console character, Crash Bandicoot!

Yes, I thought we were done with him, too.

For every Mario and Sonic there's a Crash or a Spyro. This guy just keeps coming back. And this game just looks like his most incredible move yet.

It looks like Crash's enemies Neo and Nina are mutating local creatures into titanic beings, so Crash has to do battle with them. Unfortunately.

The game is set to release for the Wii, 360, PS2 (he ain't ready for 3 yet), PSP, and the Game Boy Advance in the autumn.

So let's review: a character who rivals no one in originality and sheer awesomeness, a spin-off of a classic tale/idea/movie, and some outrageous moves on the part of every one's favorite bandicoot? This game is sure to be one to look forward to! Oh wait...
