...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".

The race was on foot and all characters had their own stats, advantages and disadvantages. What was mainly good was the minigames such as balloon seek and tag mode.

You could also unlock characters, such as Dr. Robotnik and metal Sonic by collecting special golden tokens hidden in each map.

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.

The graphics are better of course, but not by much. Sometimes the game will even remind you of Melee especially if you play in a Melee level. The stages and the characters are more detailed and you'll see cool effects that's not possible in Gamecube during a final smash. Super Smash Bros. Brawl will definitely remind you of Melee, but there are enough changes and enhancements in graphics and gameplay that you'll know you're playing Brawl.

Multiplayer is a feature that wasn't available in previous Smash Bros versions and is a blast to play in Brawl. You can now test your skills against the world and see how good you really are. There are plenty of good players out there that can humble you. You can easily find friend codes on the internet if you don't have many friends. Lag can sometimes be a problem when someone has a slow connection and that's when you're not able to play at your best. The positive is that if you lose, you can blame the lag....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

...s jets and they weigh less than 10,000 lbs. They are also powered by a group of newly developed and smaller jet engines.

Many groups are planning to compete for a piece of this new way to travel. These entrepreneurial efforts include a team headed by Donald C. Burr, founder in 1980 of the former airline, People Express. On March 29 Burr, his son Cameron, and associates made a Securities and Exchange Commission filing for their Very Light Jet Company, POGO.

Burr says "our intent here is to bring the private-travel market down from CEO level to manager-level people." The reported pricing plan of POGO is to provide a $3 to $4 a mile travel experience. This fare structure compares to retail first-class on most flights.

The commoditization of these Very Light Jet air-taxi seats will make this travel option available to progressively larger segments of air travelers.

The aircraft at the heart of this breakthrough technology will have one or two engines, glass cockpits, and seats for four to nine passengers. Their range will be over 1000 miles and they will fly at a speed of 340 to 380 knots and up to FL410. The turbofans that power these rockets produce 700 to 1700 pounds of thrust and weigh 200 to 300 pounds!

The VLJs will be certified and equipped to fly with a single pilot but most of the planes will likely be flown with a crew of two.
