When I think of Natsume, pocket racing games do not immediately spring to mind. Not when it’s got the Harvest Moon franchise going strong. That being said, Gotcha Racing does a fine job of creating a simple racing title that performs well on the tracks, but also provides an interesting…
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.

Read MoreSpectra is a great throwback to the yesteryear of twitch racing games. Everything about the game rings solid, yet almost nothing gives the impression of spectacular. The end result is a fun game that will entertain in small doses, but does not provide enough depth to keep me coming back…
