Game Jerks' top 10 reboots we'd love to see!

Growing up in the golden era of video games, we’ve seen many great titles come and go some great franchises are still around e.g. Mario, while others have fallen to the way-side e.g. Crash Bandicoot



We’ve put together our list of the top 10 games we’d like to see come back for a reboot:



10. Crash Bandicoot



If you grew up in the 90's, then you remember that crazy Bandicoot always down for an adventure, especially if it meant stopping the evil dr. who created him. This series had so many spin offs we can't keep track, but what we do know is this was one of many great platformers to come out for the Playstation consoles.



9. Battle Toads



Who doesn't love those karate master genetically enhanced mutant turtles....wait wrong game, we're talking about Battletoads, the side-scrolling beat 'em up that took over living rooms in 1991, although you can find this game on Xbox One in the "Rare Replay" bundle, we need a true reboot, something new to bring the love of this game into a new generation.



8. Jet Set Radio



Love dancing? Love Roller Blades? Love Music? Of course you do, Jet Set Radio better known as Jet Grind Radio in the US had just that, Dancing, Roller Blading and a carefully pieced together soundtrack which showcased the sound of Japan in the early 2000's. This game is full of memories and was fun for hours.



7. Gex



I don't know if you loved Gex as much as I did, but in 1995 when this released I was glued to the 3D0(does anyone even know what that is?) I couldn't put the controller down.



Gex is a gecko with a smart mouth, following his father's death Gex becomes addicted to TV to escape his pain, while watching tv, he swallows a fly which turns out to be a miniature transmitter of some sort and our story begins as Gex is pulled into the TV.



Gex is forced to fight his way through different genres of television series and find "Rez" the evil overlord of the Media Dimension who pulled him in and defeat him in order to return home.



Come on, who doesn't need a game like that in their life?



6. Legacy of Kain



Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, a sky view violently bloody adventure game where you took on the persona of a newly resurrected Vampire by the name of Kain seeking revenge against those responsible for his death; this game sparked a franchise that would go on to have 4 sequels leading into the early 2000’s.



Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver where you play as Raziel, a young Vampire turned wraith, once lieutenant to Kain, then murdered and revived by The Elder God to be his “Soul Reaver” and exact his revenge.



5. ToeJam & Earl



ToeJam & Earl was followed two Hip-Hop loving aliens with the munchies as they tried to piece their spaceship together after a crash landing. Being a twin, this was one of my favorite games when I was younger, gave me a chance to play with my brother and with the way they incorporated the split screen only if you are not in the same area we were allowed to go off on our own adventures and meet back up later on in the level



4. Bloody Roar



Back in the heyday of fighting games, when Arcades were still a thing… One of our all time favorite fighting games was released, Beastorizer, commonly know as Bloody Roar! This was the first time you’d see a fighting game that featured shape-shifting fighters allowing you to unlock multiple fighting styles on each of your characters.



In my opinion this game brought a whole new aspect to fighting games, it was more than just your character and his special moves, it brought alter egos which could be later seen in other fighting games such as Jo Jo’s Bizarre Adventure.



3. Spyro The Dragon



The Spyro series starts you off as a young dragon who can't even fly, let alone blow fire...but throughout the series you watch Spyro grow into a powerful dragon, and the savoir of the land.



This series needs a reboot completely, we need to see this game from game #1 in order to give the entire feel for the game to a new generation, just adding to the series would take away from what was established and would cause for lack of awareness of the background story and the growth.



2. Twisted Metal



This is not only a game series, but an entire genre of it's own. The Twisted Metal franchise went on until 2012 as a fast paced car shoot 'em up, hunt down your enemies and knock them off the map.



Get your friends together, compete and see who's the best, Twisted Metal needs a reboot as soon as possible, imagine competing and causing all types of mayhem online.



1. Beyond Oasis



Finally we have reached number one, numero uno, Beyond Oasis, this game was by far one of my favorites, this game follows "Prince Ali" who discovered a golden "armlet" which belonged to a wizard who was once at war with the evil wielder of the silver armlet.



The armlet allows Prince Ali to take summon four spirits: the water spirit, "Dytto"; the fire spirit, "Efreet"; the shadow spirit, "Shade"; and the plant spirit, "Bow", he first has to learn how to summon such spirits and use them to unlock different areas and stop the wielder of the silver armlet.





Since this list was already so hard to narrow down, we've listed a few honorable mentions below:





5. MDK

4. Crazy Taxi

3. Powerstone

2. Bubsy

1. Road Rash
