A Review By KamaItachi in Wii » Driving
For the most part, Mario Kart Wii makes a good stab at balancing the hectic, cut-throat gameplay of the series with the "anyone can play" appeal and simple, intuitive ideas of motion control that made Wii Sports such a hit. The more simplistic approach, exemplified by the brothers Mario waving their wii wheels i...

A Review By Ancalagon in PC » Driving
So a few months ago I stumbled upon a video for Race Driver: GRID (the "Race Driver" part of the title is omitted in the US). It blew me away - gorgeous graphics, insane speeds, devastating crashes and great physics. And I thought to myself, "No way a racing game this good is coming to PC." But I was wrong, and boy am I g...

A Review By tayaya in Xbox 360 » Driving
GRID is the latest and presumably greatest racing game from European developer Codemasters, whose pedigree includes such gems as the Colin McRae Rally series, the TOCA touring car series, and the Pro Race Driver series of games (which are essentially more TOCA games). In the case of GRID, it attempts to do for street racing what DIRT d...

A Review By Siraris in Xbox 360 » Driving
Let me preface this by letting the world know that I am in fact a huge lover of Burnout. I felt that Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge were 2 of the best racing games I'd ever played, and easily 2 of the best games of the last generation. There was something so satisfying about the visceral destruction that I could cause with just a flick of an ana...

A Review By GRUMPYgamer in PlayStation 3 » Driving
I must say I was amused for the first half hour. At first you'll notice that your moving 3 miles an hour (unlike the thrilling speed of burnout or need for speed). But that will change once the boost comes in, its a thrilling experience, at first. All the cars and routes you can take. It was very fun. And the crashes, the first few times youll be...

A Review By Shafnitz in Xbox 360 » Driving
Burnout Paradise is Criterion Games’ first attempt at a true next-generation version of their popular Burnout series. As many already know, some major changes have been made to a formula that has worked well for several years. Was giving this franchise a complete overhaul a wise decision? In a word: Absolutely!

Available on Steam, Audiosurf is a music-based title that combines elements of WipeOut, Guitar Hero, Tetris, and Klax, to name a few. The premise of the game is really quite simple: you propel a futuristic vehicle along a twisting and bending track in outer space; colored blocks move towards you, and your goal is to gather them up and score point...
