Video by Matt S. I’m a tragic for kart racers, and tend to play even the bad ones much more than I should. So of course when I saw a game called Meow Motors land on the PlayStation 4, I immediately bought the heck out of it. Cats + Karts?…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. All-Star Fruit Racing is a clever parody, first and foremost. When you’re entering a genre (the kart racer) where you know that you’re going to be instantly compared to something of the sheer prominence of Mario Kart, you surely know that any license that you might…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. It’s hard to top Mario Kart as the ultimate character crossover kart racing game, but that hasn’t stopped many developers from trying in the past. Perhaps the most successful of these has been Sumo Digital, whose work on Sonic Racing has been well regarded for a…

It’s an interesting concept that adds a fresh spin on both genres, but sadly,…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Coffin Dodgers is a game that deserves to be a lot better than it is. The premise is delightful – senior citizens racing mobility scooters as they flee death! – but the lack of new ideas and poor implementation of those that are already established mean…
Read MoreWhenever a kart racing game comes along, I always approach with trepidation. Brands and online multiplayer might appeal to some players, but to me, there’s no enjoyment in a kart racer unless the tracks are solid. A good kart racing game has tracks that are intricate, enjoyable and above all,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ripstone is a publisher that knows a good casual game when it sees one. From Pure Chess to Men’s Room Mayhem, the publisher has again and again picked up simple, entertaining games and brought them to the PlayStation Vita without excessive fanfare. But they’ve always been…
