Review by Matt S. Sometimes a game comes along and just wants to be a bright, happy bit of fan service, and to criticise it for that, and not being something that it’s not, seems a bit silly. As a bright and happy bit of fan service, Chocobo GP is…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I really wish I loved anything as much as Yamauchi Kazunori loves cars. I’m not even exaggerating about that. He clearly loves cars. Gran Turismo 7 is filled with the kind of longing, slow-panning, romantic camera angles that focus on the bodies of these machines in…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. This is going to be a relatively short review, because there’s really not much I can say about it. Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix is one aggressively fine game. It’s a character mash-up kart racer, derivative to Mario Kart to a fault, and your mileage…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I loved re-learning how to drive with Level 91 Entertainment’s latest title, Inertial Drift. It’s a stylish racing game with twin-stick controls – the left stick steers and the right stick shifts the back wheel for a drift – and the relative unfamiliarity combined with the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Woah. Woah. Woah. What the hell did they do to Project Cars? That brutally hardcore and rather dry racing simulator that turned heads and got people to break out their driving wheels over the last few years has somehow been replaced with… Real Racing 3. That’s…

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Tiny Racer by IceTorch Interactive is not a great game, nor even a good game. But I’m going to try my best to meet it on its terms, and find some positives as much as I can. If you’re interested in racing games there are dozens…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Urban Trials Tricky is fun, agreeable, and plain. It’s the fourth in Tate Multimedia’s Urban Trials series of motorcross-trials videogames, and like the others before it, there isn’t really any vastly distinguishing factor setting it aside from previous games in the series, or the similarly named…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Over a number of years now, Codemasters has steadily built the F1 series into a top-flight racing game contender, and one of the few in the genre that manages to straddle the line between a serious simulation for fans of the sport, and something accessible to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Assetto Corsa is a property that finds itself in a difficult position. It doesn’t have the licensed pull of the F1 or Rally titles. Nor does it have the slick marketing machines of Sony or Microsoft that Gran Turismo and Forza enjoy. Nor does it have…
