Hold on one second. Let me clean my reading glasses and check out that list again.

What the fuck is this shit, Sony? I know you can only fit so many games on a system that you are selling for $100 and that there are issues with game publishers that could cause a snub to happen. But this is a goddamn bloodbath. Where is Tony Hawk? Spyro The Dragon? Jet Moto? Gran Turismo? Those are all classics that somehow didn’t make the cut despite being in being in the Top 10s of millions of childhoods and I would trade out Intelligent Qube, Jumping Flash, Mr. Driller and a few others I have never heard of for just one of those to be added. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy Resident Evil is on there and I look forward to potentially squaring off against that big bitch Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid one day. But the original Grand Theft Auto and Twisted Metal do not hold a candle to some of the sequels that made those franchises household names for delinquents.

The two biggest snubs almost go without saying, like if the all-time Home Runs and Hits leaders weren’t in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Okay, bad example.

First up we have Tomb Raider, only a classic game that also turned countless boys into men one polygonal mammary at a time. That game was so big on so many different levels that they made movies about it and are STILL making them in the year 2018 of our Lord. For those that don’t believe me, here is proof.

This type of aggression against Lara Croft will not stand! Especially in 2018.

But the biggest snub of all is obviously Crash Bandicoot. Nintendo had Mario, Sega had Sonic, and Sony had Crash. He may have been late to the game, but he put the team on his back like Greg Jennings with a broken leg back when people thought of Walkmans when they heard the name Sony. And you repay him by leaving him off the remake of the console he helped build from the ground up? It would be like KFC or Big Cat not being invited to a Barstool reunion show in 20 years. For shame, Sony. FOR SHAME! What are we going to hear next? That the opening theme that somehow unload 8 million CCs of dopamine directly into my brain didn’t make the cut?

Fuck that. I have always been a PlayStation guy, partially because I hated the oversized OG XBox controllers (I have little hands, please don’t make jokes) and partially because I liked the exclusive PlayStation games more. But I am now thinking about getting an XBox 2 Plus 720 or whatever they call the next generation of XBox’s just because of the disrespect heaped upon those two classics. Again, I get there are potentially weird legal or licensing issues. But this aggression will not stand.
