Ranty 360 Rant

posted by Chris on November 22, 2005 10:02 PM in Rant

So, the XBOX 360 has been released. Why should you care? I know I certainly don't. Here is a rant about that. Just for you!

As some of you know, I am what some people would call a "Nintendo Fanboy". At least, to an extent I am a fanboy, I do appreciate Nintendo for the games that they have created in the past and the games they continue to create, though I do not blindly fall for any game they release. I am not anti-Xbox, just generally the types of games that are on the system do not appeal to me, and never really have. That being said, there are other reasons that I am completely not excited about the 360 release.

Review - Mario Kart DS

posted by Chris on November 13, 2005 10:13 AM in Video Game Review

Overview: Mario Kart is a very well-loved series. Chances are, you have played one of the many iterations, either on Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gameboy Advance or Gamecube. It is most likely that I do not have to explain to you that it is a racing game featuring Mario and friends, where there are items to chuck at each other. This is all irrelevant information to you. Mario Kart DS does not break any molds, such as with Mario Kart: Double Dash for the Gamecube, where you had two racers in one kart. No, this game is pure Mario Kart. If you were to ask Nintendo to make ONE Mario Kart game that you could take with you on a deserted island that just happened to have a wifi connection, this would be the one. Featuring over 32 tracks, including original creations and retro revivals, this is the comprehensive Mario Kart title. Single-cart multiplayer for up to 8 racers, 4 different modes, 2 different circuits, and online play make this a huge game, both in scope and size.
