Hey there, China! Have you heard the good news? No, the streets aren't running red with the blood of imperialist pigs, silly. Your government has finally lifted the 14-year ban on videogame consoles! Finally, after all these years of being limited to shady MMOs and heavily censored PC games, you will now at long last be able to experience all the joys of growing bored with Wii Bowling after fifteen minutes. Now, that might seem like a dated reference for everyone else in the world, but that joke ought to go over like gang busters with you guys.


But as any of your imprisoned political dissidents can tell you, 14 years is a long time, and that means you're going to need some help catching up with everything that's happened since y'all were left wondering how they were possibly going to top Crash Bandicoot: Warped. (Hint: They didn't.) Fret not! I'm here to offer you some tips, advice, and general updates to gently wean you off the knockoff Funstation 4 you picked up at a Shanghai flea market and get you ready for the real deal.
