Sierra and Radical Entertainment's Crash of Titans (Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP) is the fourteenth game in the Crash Bandicoot series and has quite a few novel features that fans will enjoy. The one addition that stands out the most though is Crash's new ability called "jacking."

Some of the larger enemies (titans, as they're called) can be jacked by Crash to make them do his bidding. While it may seem like a no-brainer to just keep taking over opponents, it is very important to choose the right titan for each stage. To help you make your decision, here are some facts (with screenshots) about each one:

The first enemy on the list is the Ratcicle, one of the biggest assets of Neo Cortex's mutant army. After you jack it, you gain the Freeze Punks ability which launches two ice beams that will freeze anything it hits. The unit is listed with a threat level of three out of a maximum of five making it a good all around mount. 

  

The second titan - Scorporilla - looks like a cross between a scorpion and a gorilla (duh!). Rumor has it that even Neo Cortex feels nervous when around these behemoths. While jacking one of these creatures is no easy task, it is well worth the effort. The special ability this mount gives Crash is called Ground and Pound, a move which has your new best friend pounding the island with both hands sending a dust cloud at your foes. No one will question the fact that it is rated at a threat level of four out of five.

Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot was one of the top video game titles for the original PlayStation (PSOne). Now that Radical Entertainment has taken over the reins of the franchise with Crash of the Titans, we have to say that the development studio really has to deliver lest it wants disappointed bandicoots fans right at its doorsteps

Well, Radical Entertainment wasn't afraid to showcase Crash of The Titans during E3 and so far, the comments from those who've seen it are good. We're giving you now the opportunity to judge for yourselves as we share with you the official assets shown at the event.

Aside from the Wii version, Crash of the Titans will also have PC, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and mobiles version.

See the other screenshots and trailer video after the jump!

If there's one thing we noticed about the new Crash Bandicoot, it's those new arm tattoos he's sporting. They don't look half bad, actually, even if they aren't magical or do anything other than make him marginally edgier.

Radical Entertainment's Crash of the Titans has the edgy bandicoot taking on all manner of beasties as he fights to get Doctor Neo Cortex off of his beloved island. In the video, you'll get to see him beat up baddies, control enemies by putting a magical mask on them, and use his new minions to dominate the battlefield with their own special maneuvers. Sweet, right?

Did we mention that Crash can now hover by spinning really, really fast?

In any case, before we get ahead of ourselves, let's go back and enjoy the video first, alright?

The video below is about Scarface: The World is Yours and Radical Entertainment's Ryan French. French, the game's associate producer, talks about how their development team was able to maintain the title's popular gameplay mechanics while at the same time making it compatible with the Wii's motion-sensitive controller.

French notes that new remote functionality has been added to the game as exemplified by Scarface's changing in-game cursor. The Wiimote and the Nunchuk can also be used to level up Tony Montana's "balls meter" through taunting. In shooting down enemies, players will always have the option for manual or auto aim.

Lastly, and most interestingly, Ryan French explains how players will be able to perform "Blind Rage" using the controller combo. Scarface: The World is Yours will be released sometime this Summer in North America and before 2007 ends in Europe.

Crash is back once more to wreak chaos in just about every gaming platform there is. This time, we've got some new screens for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS versions of his latest adventure: Crash of the Titans. Have a look at the Wii screens right below:

   

While these are the screens taken from the DS version:

 

In Crash of the Titans, Dr. Neo Cortex is up to no good, as usual, this time by turning ordinary animals to colossal creatures of destruction. Your job is to "hijack" the giants and take control of them to fight Cortex's other mammoths. Crash games have never gotten bigger.

The Crash Bandicoot franchise had its heyday for the original Sony PlayStation, becoming the game console's premiere platformer. However, things weren't so great for Crash in the PS2 generation, taking a back seat to other titles like Ratchet and Clank. This time, the game launches for most of the major platforms to try and take back the game kingdom's mascot status.

Sierra Entertainment has announced that their game Scarface: The World is Yours has sold 2 Million copies worldwide. Pascal Brochier, president of global retail for Vivendi Games notes that this is a milestone for the company. He says:

Selling 2 million units of Scarface: The World Is Yours worldwide is a great achievement and a direct reflection on the outstanding support received by the international retail and gaming community... This milestone is another strong example of Radical Entertainment's strong development talents and Sierra Entertainment's commitment to deliver a high quality, compelling gaming experience.

The game is currently available for the PS2 and the Xbox, and should be available this summer for the Wii.

As good as this sounds for the game, lets wait for summer to see if their adaptation of nunchuck and wiimote into the game is "proper" enough so that the Wii's user-base adds to that 2 million they've got so far.

Perhaps the reason why Tony Montana is always angry is because nobody ever wanted to say "Hello" to his little friend. Apart from all the backstabbing and criminal activities and the various drug-related problems, that is. Whatever the reason, players will be able to harness the man's rage as they blow their way through the opposition in Scarface: The World Is Yours.

Bloody, intense, and touting the badge of an M-Rated game, Scarface: The World is Yours for the Nintendo Wii video game console puts players in the role of Tony Montana as they try to conquer Miami's criminal underworld. Featuring a riveting, event-driven gameplay style, Scarface: The World is Yours also makes use of the Wii's innovative Wiimote and Nunchuck controller combo.

Radical Entertainment's Scarface: The World is Yours is slated for a summer release. In the meantime, check out the new screenshots below.

   

More screenshots after the jump!

A few hours ago, we brought to you screenshots of Radical Entertainment's Crash of the Titans. We divulged some of the game's features such as Wii-centric motion mechanics, widescreen and 480p capabilities support, and an interesting co-op mode. Now, going over YouTube, we found a video of a GameSpot interview with Kirsten Forbes, producer for VU Games.

Of course, the video interview started with a brief recap of what the game is ("Crash of the Titans is Crash's latest adventure"). Then she went on to talk about what the game is all about - Neo and Nina Cortex have discovered a magical substance called "mojo" which transforms creatures of Crash's island into monsters. But they didn't know that this plan of theirs could backfire because Crash could hijack the monsters and use their powers.

She also touched on several interesting issues such as the co-op mode, how they are working with the Wii and the Wiimote, among many other things. So with all that said, click on the Play button and check out the video for yourself.
