Unlike the previous versions, Mario Kart Wii has some new features like the online racing mode, new motorbike vehicle types, and a special balancing system for new and veteran players. Plus, the game will be shipped with its own Mario Kart wheel.

We all have a Mario Kart memory with our friends. All the trash talks and challenges made Mario Kart the party game of choice. Mario Kart Wii experience will be the same. With a four player battle mode, you and your friends will have lots of shouting matching to come. With every start of the race, you’ll surely have your heart pumping hard and your adrenaline level high. Then there are the hecklers who would want to take your concentration away.

Then if you want to take your game to another level, you could go online where you can participate in worldwide time trials or race against 11 other players. The Mario Kart Wii channel in the Nintendo Wifi network will keep tabs on your times so you can compare it with your friends’. The channel will also hold world and local records plus the players’ rankings.

Do you have any Mario Kart experience you want to share?

There’s a new hero in town and he’s an Archineer! Lock the protagonist of Construction Combat is part Architect, part Engineer. He needs to defend the Sacred Artifacts against invading robots by building structures around it.

Construction Combat: Lock’s Quest is being developed by 5^th Cell, the makers of the top selling Drawn to Life. It will be published by THQ.

I would consider myself an Archineer in my other life, so getting immersed with the designing and the building part will surely be enjoyable. Lock the hero designs and creates defense towers in the battle field using different materials such as stone, metal or wood.

The Nintendo DS needs more titles like this than the usual brain and movie/product tied up games. Not that I don’t like games from those genres, I do enjoy some of them but most games to get monotonous.

Construction Combat combines action adventure and real time simulation that promises to be appealing for hardcore and casual gamers alike. This fast paced game of building and battling will definitely be worth a look when it becomes available this Fall.
