There is nothing wrong with Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2. If you enjoy Mario Kart, and like Nickelodeon, then you’re the demographic for this game, and you’ll get a kick from it. There are no nasty surprises in the way the kart racing action is executed, and it’s so overwhelmingly competent...

Inertial Drift is gorgeous. More than just a racing game, it’s a set of systems for player expression, putting them right in the shoes of a hotshot rookie on the warpath to becoming a drifting master. Although the controls are complex on paper, they’re easy to pick up and feel...
