Driver Renegade 3D (3DS) Review
There’s a rather alarming trend I’ve begun noticing with a lot of Nintendo 3DS – that some of them actually play rather well, but simply don’t last enough or run out of gas very quickly after first playing them. Then there&r...

Ridge Racer 3D (3DS) Review
Namco Bandai love a Ridge Racer launch game. They’re like the guy who also shows up to birthday party with a thought out present but forget that they gave it to you last year. The last Nintendo console to get one though was the Nintendo DS an...

Asphalt 3D (3DS) Review
My first ever experience with the Asphalt series was actually with the ill-fated Nokia N-Gage, which wasn’t a great device and the terrible game itself didn’t actually help my opinion either. With so many racings games hitting the market a...

Need for Speed: Nitro from Electronic Arts is a generally good attempt at creating a racing experience on the Nintendo Wii that appeals to both the traditional and casual video game audiences. The game is technically proficient, with an excellent fram...

MySims Racing (Wii) Review
MySims Racing is a competent take on the Mario Kart formula that fails to live up to the standards set by its inspiration. The game looks and feels well made and has plenty of options, but there is a certain level of soullessness that makes it pale in...

ExciteBots: Trick Racing (Wii) Review
I’m going to be very honest here - I wasn’t expecting much from ExciteBots when I first received it for review. I didn’t overly enjoy ExciteTruck either since I never really got into it. So, as you could expect, I was skeptical as to...
