Sonic VS Mario VS Crash Bandicoot: Part 2
...The second part in the Sonic VS Mario VS crash bandicoot debate, which character had the best racing game in the 32bit era?
Sonic the Hedgehog, who is Sega's mascot had a racing game on the Sega Saturn and it was later re-relaeased on PC. It featured a "running" race between super-speed Sonic, high flying Tails and powerful gliding Knuckles. The racing game was named "Sonic R".

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a Blast! - review
...orse like I mentioned. Each character is different and have their ups and downs. You'll have to get used to the characters' moves and find out the advantages and disadvantages of each move so you'll know when to execute and when and what your opponent will execute.

Similar projects are being planned for other major UK cities, such as Manchester, london and Birmingham. For those not lucky enough to live in a city with a comparable scheme there are several free Wi-Fi connections in ca...more
Mario Kart Wii - Ready To Push The Envelope
...So what is the Mario game for the Nintendo Wii? It's Mario Kart Wii. For some, this game is described as Nintendo's best, while others claim that it is too complicated.
Personally, I think the ability to race up to 12 people online makes the game so much more fascinating. There is some great competition out there that you need to take seriously.
Before you start playing online, it is a good idea to practice Mario Kart Wii on an offline mod...more
