Did You Have A Crabtacular Time At E3?
The always fun The-Inbetween.com has decided to post about the epidemic of in-game crabs shown at last weeks' E3 Expo - apparently, crab-like creature are vital to the next generation.
Clearly semi-seguing off the crab in the 'Sony Press Conf In 1 Minute' video, revealed in techicolor are "...all the crabs that I've noticed in screengrabs or released screenshots. Some of these might be a little loose in the definition of "crab", but they're all very much crab-like aliens or mutants or crab-robots."
But really, the crab from PS3 title Genji 2 (showcased in the Sony press video!) still wins every time, because, as is pointed out: "Once the giant crab creature showed its face in this historic game with real battles from history, there was no saving Sony's showing."

Wasn't there a giant Crab boss in the first Banjo-Kazooie, world 2? ANd then there was a mini level inside his husk after you moidered him?

Yeah, I remember mainly jumping monkey creatures and stone elementals. And crapness.

Slightly off-topic, but there are crabs in TES: Oblivion. Someone's made a mod that allows you to buy a magic spell to polymorph your enemies into crabs, too...
