Genre: Racing/3D Platformer

But Crash was the game we got to sit down and play for a good long while, and the experience was too surprising not to write about.
Much like Jak X, Tag Team Racing mutates a platforming title into a racing game. Unlike

by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under Misc Events - Most Anticipated Games of 2006
Genre: Action
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Splash Damage
Release Date: TBA

I'm an online FPS player, and this is one of the few FPS games coming out in the near future that holds any interest to me.
