Banjo won't be able to save that game from suckage.

It will fail. Just like every other crappy Mario knock-off Sonic game made in the last 10 years has failed. It will be absolute garbage, the reviewers will sugarcoat it a bit with a 50-60 score, and it will still sell over a million copies, just because it has that stupid hedgehog on the cover. :/

So why is this under the PS3 news section? Do the mods decide or is there some other process for an item to be listed as PS3 news?

This and the one about Natal and lag are both under the PS3 section while being unrelated to that platform....

The cycnic in me says that kind of thing might happen just to incite a bit of idiot chest beating, but I'm sure there's a better reason!

I think I hear a cricket chirping.

Sure whatever, probably the most exclusivity 360 has seen for most this year.

Top Ten Underrated Kart Racers

Phil writes, "The kart racer is my preferred type of racing experience. Everything from fantastical racing locales and tracks to item combat is what I like in my racing games. When you have colorful tracks, whimsical characters, and wacky items, you have a game I'll probably enjoy. This top ten list is dedicated to kart racers, but not the ones you'd probably think of first when the words "kart racer" come to mind. No, these games are ones that don't get as much credit, which I think is as great as a flat tire on the final lap. With this list of my ten favorite underrated kart racers, it's my hope that getting the word out on these games might give these games some of the attention that they truly deserve."

Crash Team Racing on the Playstation was always my guilty pleasure. Playing as Tiny ^%^

Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing Transformed is great, and I really hope they bring out a new game in that series.

I also liked Modnation Racing, but the DLC-greed kinda ruined it for me.

Saelyn3055d ago

Agreed I loved Sonic & Sega it was really fun which kind of surprised me.

Skate-AK3055d ago

DLC doesn't bother me when there are millions of community creations.

Yi-Long3055d ago

@Skate: it prevented me from buying the game until it was HEAVILY discounted (3 euro new), and I was very interested in creating tracks, but because the kinda levels I wanted to make (Asian & City inspired) were in the DLC, which I never bought, I couldn't be bothered TBH.

I wish they would have just released a complete/GOTY edition, but they never did. I did really like the gameplay and visuals though.

DARKKENT3055d ago

Diddy kong racing was my favourite

Different vehicles and a story mode

Rare was on fire black in the day... Sigh

XisThatKid3054d ago (Edited 3054d ago )

I'm just ganna say I'm playing ModNation Racers on PS3 at very least a weekly with friends. Must play especially for a kart racer that didn't need a pre-existing franchise to be be good

CTR and Sonic SEGA All-Star Racing Tranformed are probably 2 of the best kart racing games I've ever played. Mario Kart is always great. I didn't care much for ModNation Racing. It wasn't deep enough. Never tried the "Road Trip" version though, so maybe that one was better.

TXIDarkAvenger3055d ago

I was really surprised with Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. It definitely gave me that Mario Kart fix I wanted on PC. I do hope they make another one.

MCTJim3055d ago

Steam had/has all the sonic and sonic racing on sale now for like 3 bucks each, I just bought Sonic CD game for 2 bucks.

5 Weird Character Based Kart Racing Games for Android and 1 Edutainment on Wheels Game

Carl Williams writes, "Ever since Nintendo released Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo, oh so many years ago, companies have tried to copy that specific formula for success with varying results. Sega is one such company that has tried to take their existing stable of characters and create kart racing games with them as the stars (Sonic R on Saturn and more recently two of the games on this list). Even Sony got in on the action with Crash Team Racing on the original Playstation, even the WWE has a kart racing game out (on Playstation 2). This is one of those genres that is pretty much dominated by one or two companies (Nintendo usually doesn’t have all that much to worry about). We feel that the key to success in this genre is the characters, hence this list."
