Firstly, I want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone that took the time to vote in our 'Games that defined the generations' poll. We had well in excess of 20 thousand votes cast! Without further ado, let's take a look at the games that YOU chose as the winners!
PlayStation
Winner: Crash Bandicoot (25.06%)
The games are mostly set on the fictitious Wumpa Islands, an archipelago situated to the south of Australia, although other locations are common. The main games in the series are largely platformers, but several are spin-offs in different genres. The protagonist of the series is an anthropomorphic bandicoot named Crash, whose quiet life on the Wumpa Islands is often interrupted by the games' main antagonist, Doctor Neo Cortex, who created Crash and now wants nothing less than his demise. In most games, Crash must defeat Cortex and foil any world domination plans he might have.
