In anycase, I have a terrible cold at the moment which has opened up the opportunity for a few days downtime admits the Christmas rush. As such I want to jump back into things with an almost PR-worthy piece plugging this awesome trailer that I just watched. Losing my credibility? Nah, not yet.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so that trailer I just saw was for Crash Commando for the Playstation Network. You might recall hearing about it last E3, it&#8217;s very much like a high definition Contra, with characters the size of ants and microscopic laser sights. It looks like a neat, inspired offering with a few new generation assets included<\/p>\n<p>The trailer \u2013 while clich\u00e9 in parts \u2013 is admittedly pretty cute. It takes the ethos surrounding its inspiration and churns out something pretty entertaining and humourous. Usually these intentionally over-the-top rips at flamboyant humour grow quite tiring, but this one made me giggle. I think it&#8217;s because the writing is probably better than most and not so jerky.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"392\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"id\" value=\"gtembed\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.gametrailers.com\/remote_wrap.php?mid=43603\" \/><embed id=\"gtembed\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"392\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gametrailers.com\/remote_wrap.php?mid=43603\" quality=\"high\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"sameDomain\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>I honestly don&#8217;t believe that Crash Commando will be a particularly brilliant title, but hey that&#8217;s my engrossing for five minutes.
