Armed with his quick-wits and lightening agility, Crash must free his friends, the titans and save the day!
"The Crash Bandicoot franchise has built a wide audience of loyal fans, appealing to both male and female gamers of all ages," said Al Simone, senior vice president, Global Marketing for Sierra Entertainment.

Girl Power! - Your co-op partner is Crash's sister, Coco, playable for the first time in the cooperative mode. Not only does Coco make the game that much more inviting for girls to pick up and play, she also brings with her a new tactile "treasure hunt" ability
New Abilities
Roll and Counter Combat System - Crash will have a fun, agile dodge move and "counter" move which will inflict extra damage on his enemies
Digging - Crash can now dig underground as real-life bandicoots really do; this will allow for Crash to unlock bonus items

Refraction posted this news today:
I tried to think of a flashy title for this, but i couldn't, so I thought I'd just blurt it out!
Yes the IPU (video side of PCSX2) has been updated by none other than Saqib! You might be asking what this will bring to the table? Well im sure as many of you know, videos in PCSX2 suffered from Macroblocking (Corrupt squares appearing all over the place) or videos freezing randomly. Well thanks to Saqib for his marvelous work, many games no longer suffer from these symptoms. Here is a quick rundown of some of the games fixed.
Atelier Iris - Grand Phantasm
Ayumi Hamasaki - A Visual Mix
Bully
Graffiti Kingdom
Many Growlanser games
Monster Hunter
Resident Evil 4
Simple Series Videos
Soul Calibur 3
The Simpsons
Many more!
In light of these changes a lot of games have been improved to a playable status or had their stability increased!
The code is in SVN, do NOT ask for help on the forums. If you guys are lucky, i might be nice enough to compile a new beta very soon
Discussion of whats fixed can be found on the Official forums

Michoko has released a new version of LoneWolfDS - Flight From The Dark, heres the release notes:
Hi everybody!
I'm pleased to announce a new release of LoneWolfDS v1.4. And the biggest addition is nothing less than a Spanish version!
Yeah, I know, I had said that I would not do any translated version yet, but a guy called NewKuato contacted me some weeks ago, by providing all the book texts already translated. Moreover I must admit I was a bit euphoric because of the LoneWolfDS first place at the NEO compo, so I thought it would be worth a try.
My original concern was that it may take a lot of time to make a localized version, and hell, I was right! Without the amazing help from NewKuato and Urbatain El Clérigo, this project would have never seen the light. Those guys spent hours and hours testing the new translated engine, and I'm still impressed by the huge efforts they put into providing all translations and test reports. With such a great support, this translation has been really a positive experience!
But the second most important aspect is that with all those tests, a lot of bugs and events errors were detected and fixed, both in the Spanish and English version. Hence the new releases in both languages. Moreover, it has also helped stabilizing the engine for the second book (I've already started working on volume 2 too).
So here is the changelog:
Code:
2008/04/27: version 1.4 (Recommended update!)
- Fixed a memory leak during random rolls, making the numbers disappear after many rolls.
- Fixed some vicious inventory bugs.
- Fixed many sections.
- Updated the events handling engine so future books will be easier to port.
- Spanish version! (thanks A LOT to NewKuato and El Clérigo Urbatain!!!)
Before I get spammed with translations requests in all the languages of the world, let me say that I WON'T do any other language adaptations right now! It requires too much work and I prefer focusing on the second book now (so many things to do, so little time). Moreover, only the english and spanish versions are available for free on the net, so I'll stick to them right now.
Have fun!!
Michoko
PS: Please, don't upload the ROM files on any other site, since the Project Aon license requires me to host all projects based on their work on the Project Aon site itself. So please give the following download URL instead: http://www.projectaon.org/staff/frederic/index.php
Thank you!
Ouch, I just found a rather fatal bug in the latest builds (both English and Spanish). I just posted a hotfix on the site.
Code:
Changelog:
2008/04/28: version 1.41 English/1.01 Spanish
- Hotfix which fixes a bug when saving a game without having the weaponskill discipline.
Sorry for the inconvenience, now it should work fine :blush:

Schyzophrenic has posted a new release of Mad City for the DS:
Hello everyone!
This is my first project that I DS you book: Mad City
It is based on the famous (well for me) game "The city hellish" on CPC6128 in 1985 (ca ne nous rejuvenates not all that!)
The goal is to cross a city from south to north in your car. Of course, this is a town unknown and you do not have any plan or GPS!
At each trip, your car consumes gasoline, will therefore stop regularly in petrol stations that run your way. But it will of course pay ... So you stop at banks to withdraw money.
There are other surprises that I let you discover for yourself!
Regarding orders, you use the PAD to choose your direction (Left, Right or Top). And you use for a stop in a building.
I wish you good luck in your quest for exit
Updated 28/04/2008 (evening)
Online version 0.9.1:
-- Fixed display instructions in the wrong language
-- Fixed a memory leak
-- Establishment of the leaderboard real
Updated 28/04/2008 (early)
Well, small wolves I decided (may be with the fatigue you're lucky) releaser of this release.
There were a lot of changes with the previous version, the most obvious is the graphics
In reality, music has to be redone, but in the meantime I leave you this version so you can make the hand over and possibly reassemble bugs me that I could not see!
If you have any comments, please. Once the music added, and all the bugs fixed I libèrerai sources!
Fun (I hope!)

The port of ScummVM for the Nintendo Wii has been updated with support for the Nintendo Wiimote.
For those of you who dont know what ScummVM is heres a description
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.
