Huge fan of Crash. The first game was my first game, and it has been kind of a big part of my life since. As I get older I notice more flaws (even in the first handful of games), and I move on to other games, but the original trilogy + CTR will forever have a soft spot in my heart.
The characters are all wacky and loveable, and it's just really silly that I can't get mad over losing lives.
