Crash Bandicoot is top billing ... on iPhone

by Richard Mitchell on Apr 14th 2009 8:00PM

Apple has released some data regarding the most downloaded applications from its App Store, which is celebrating its imminent one billionth download, reports GI.biz. Topping the list of most downloaded paid apps is none other than fallen console idol Crash Bandicoot's Nitro Kart 3D racing game. Other popular paid apps include classic time wasters like Bejeweled 2 and Tetris, as well as Enigmo, Moto Chaser and Flick Fishing.

Heading up the most downloaded free games is Tap Tap Revenge. Curiously, Apple lists Tap Tap Revenge as the fourth most downloaded free app, behind Google Earth, Facebook and Pandora Radio. This is contrary to a report released by comScore last week claiming that Tap Tap Revenge was the most downloaded free app overall.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we have start designing an iPhone game, like now.

Crash Bandicoot died after Warped.

:(

spyro, crash, and sonic all fell from grace during the 90's. i miss them and their awesomeness.

I LOVED the original Crash (PS1) and played Crash Team Racing all the time. :( But alas, like Spyro, it lost its way quickly.

The last good game was Wrath of Cortex. It was the Crash game we all knew and loved but with better graphics and new weapons. (Did Naughty Dog develop Wrath of Cortex?)P.S. Crash Bash is the only part game I have ever loved

Sad, but true. :(

How couldn't you buy Crash's game when he gives you a smile like that.

What in the bandicoot?

Crash Bandicoot: Biggest hit of E3 2008, and soon-to-be 2009.

That was a great poll. Made geology that day flat out awesome.

Crash needs to come back, and not in his current incarnation.

Seriously, have you seen how he looks since he moved to PS2? Looks downright sinister.

That's what happens when Vivendi/Universal buys a thriving franchise.

Spyro was doing just fine in Insomniac's hands, and same with Crash in Naughty Dog's.

At least the good devs kept maing good games, and without the loss of the two franchises, we wouldn't have Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, Jak, and Uncharted.

Crush is AUSTRALIAN, Aku Aku is FLA and Uka Uka is FAT !!!!!!!!!!

You might want to start proof reading.

A correction: The App Store has not recently celebrated a billion downloads, but is getting ready to celebrate. If you download the billionth application you get a bunch of prizes.

Ah, thanks. Fixed.

Crash Nitro Kart was awesome on the ole' Xbox! Memories...

Crash 1,2, and 3 were the best. I cried a little when I heard Naughty Dog was letting go. :'(

AAAHH, I WANT PANDORA SO BAD! but I'm in Canada. I used to have it and they took it away!
Does anyone know If I can download it of an American account then still use the app in Canada or will the i.p. be blocked on the phone aswell?

Yet there are still many wailing that its not a gaming platform, as it has no buttons or something.
Bollocks, its the 3rd portable gaming system now, and is catching up FAST.

I'm glad Pandora is getting some of the recognition it deserves. I've found so many of my favorite bands on there! And yet there are still people I know who like music and are unaware of it or haven't tried it despite my recommendations. Crazy.
