Dan, Bob and Dr. Aggro check out SkyDrift a biplane racing game with powerups and weapons. It controls smoothly and it’s quite possibly the first flying game to be released on the PSN.
Hardcore Gamer: Kalypso has put out a ton of stuff on PC, and now Green Man Gaming has a 24 hour sale on their catalog.
Fans of the Mario Kart series are no doubt excited about the latest installment. But for those wanting more, here's a collection of indie alternatives.
A track editor would have been awesome in MK8, I'd have also settled for procedurally generated tracks that could be saved for future races.
Nice to see some alternatives for other platforms, but I've never played a Kart game that can match the feel of MK!
The nearest I've got is the recent Sonic titles, but they are not quite there (but fun) - and I'd love to see a Mario / Sonic Kart cross-over - if they could do it for the Olympics games, why not MK! As lonmg as it was made by the team responsible for MK8! :)
I know what you mean. MK will always remain the basis for comparison. I did really enjoy Diddy Kong Racing back in the day, though.
Developer Tyson Kubota took to Reddit to both announce, and gauge the demand for a port of his independently developed and free iOS title; Skydrift. Kubota is currently involved with Digital Development and Design at renowned film-distribution company, The Criterion Collection, but also released the self-crafted the recently released title in his spare-time.
I was really hoping this was going to be a spiritual successor to Crimson Skies but alas, it is not. At first glimpse you think it is but really its a track racer with invisible walls that keep you from going off track. I would have welcome open maps and dog fighting... oh well. Moving on.
