    • CBS taglines and some updates

      You know those headlines from other CNet affiliates right below your username box at the top of the page? Some of the ones for CBS are nuts. I saw one yesterday that said "Don't go outside and enjoy the sun" - clicking it took me to the CBS daytime schedule. Just now, I saw one that said "High definition is better than real life," which took me to their selection of HD videos.Either the writer of those tags is clueless, or he's deliberately making fun of CBS. Either way, I love it. Some of the tags for other sites have been great as well, such as the link to P Diddy's review of Hancock. I know they're blatant ads, but I like them.Anyway, I've been busy lately, working a few 50-hour weeks, going to weddings on the weekends, hanging out with people all day on Sundays. I just got another... Read more »

    • A detailed evolution of Mario Kart (Double Dash)

      Double Dash sits by itself next to the other Mario Kart games. It changes much of the core gameplay, but the changes are all in small tweaks, not major overhauls. Most of the features that are introduced in Double Dash haven't been continued in the DS or Wii versions, which is a good thing in some cases and a bit disappointing in others. Overall, Double Dash is a very competitive and moderately difficult entry in the series, and it offers the best offline multiplayer experience of them all.There's a lot to say about this game, so if you hate words, you'll have to brush up on your skimming skills, skip to the conclusion, or grab a snack. This is another long read. Features- Two characters per kart, allows for two items at once- First game to offer selection of vehicles, which have... Read more »

    • A detailed evolution of Mario Kart (Super Circuit)

      This entry is long. Soooooorry. Simply put, Super Circuit is the beautiful child of Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64. It borrows heavily from both games and adds a bit of its own flavor to the mix. If you're tired of all the weapon-heavy mayhem of the more recent Mario Karts, pick yourself up a copy of Super Circuit for the GBA slot of your DS. It'll provide a long-lasting challenge that you can't get with either SMK or MK64.Features- Three laps per race in the GBA original tracks- All Super Mario Kart tracks are unlockable as Grand Prix circuits- Five laps per race in the Super Mario Kart tracks- Controls like SMK, with the addition of drift boosting- Features coins to boost max speed- No drafting- No kart selection, though every character has special traits (Yoshi is a good...
