Mario Kart DS: - Polluting the Online World With Shells and Banana Peels

Pros A Fantastic Mesh of Mario Kart Elements From Each Game, Online Play
Cons "Snaking", No Online Battle Mode, Only Four Players Online
Recommended it? Yes

Mario Kart is easily the most popular spin-off from a franchise, ever. This little game is undoubtedly one of Nintendo's big guns, but in the company's fit of trying to be different this generation Mario Kart was a game that suffered. Don't get me wrong, Double Dash wasn't a bad game, but was just... Read full review »

Pros Uh...
Cons The entire existence of this game is a Con
Recommended it? No

To the average gamer, if you mention Ridge Racer, they'll think of PlayStation.

Pros ...Just look at the damn thing in action!
Cons Kinda easy.
Recommended it? Yes

Ridge Racer and PlayStation-branded hardware launches have become a traditional combination. 10 years ago when Sony entered a very different gaming business, Ridge Racer was there for the PlayStation, showing off the capabilities of the console. 5 years ago, when Sony unleashed the PS2, Ridge Racer...
