If the title doesn't tell you everything you need to know allow me to fill you in. Heracles Chariot Racing (to henceforth be known as HCR, to make it sound cool) is a kart racer starring none other than Heracles (better known by his Roman name, Hercules) and several other mythological characters. Beginning life on the PS2, Neko Entertainment ported HCR to WiiWare."
A whole lotta bite-sized offerings can be played on any PSP or your PS3 and downloaded directly from the PlayStation Store. Meant to be simple in approach, Minis are nuggets of pure game design, and accordingly they're usually priced quite a bit cheaper than full-blown games. Every week, IGn will be taking a look at what's hit the Store and offering up a simple verdict on the various offerings.
GamingXP: Take the two great franchises, "Disney's Hercules" and Nintendo's "Mario Kart", you escape the magic of the reputable and licensed characters, and then mix vigorously.
