Grid

I’ll admit that I’m more a fan of the arcade-style racing games than those that put heavier focus on realism, so I’m much more looking forward to Firebrand Games’ next racing project: Trackmania DS. But GRID is still an impressive effort that has a lot going for it, and it’s a slight improvement over last year’s already impressive Race Driver: Create and Race experience. GRID is best played on the console, but the DS game offers up its own unique take on the core racing design, enough that it’s definitely worth a look.

Comparing LEGO Indiana Jones to LEGO Star Wars is unavoidable, but it’s also not a bad thing considering just how good last year’s LEGO Star Wars turned out on the Nintendo DS. I’m afraid that if the LEGO franchise continues in this direction the novelty will end up wearing thin (I’m looking at you, Batman), but for now it still feels somewhat fresh. And even though the game shares many of the same elements as last year’s LEGO-ified Star Wars game there’s plenty new to experience.
