This is a bit different Mario Kart video

This post is not F1 but it's racing and I thought it was hilarious. This works very well if you have played as much Mario Kart as I have since the early 90's.

Racing Games: Mario Kart 8

OK so this is not actually about F1 but it is about racing. I have talked about racing games before and haven't done it for a while. Haven't had a reason to do that until now.

I bought Mario Kart 8 on Wii U today and this game is absolutely awesome! I own tons of racing games but this is better than anything!

If you have played Mario Kart before then this is a game for you but if you haven't then it may not be as exciting. Some people just love these games and some say that they are for kids etc.

Anyways, I don't care what kind of game this is supposed to be but I know that I can beat anybody! Nobody can beat me if we all drive with the wheel. No controller BS! Challenge me with a steering wheel. It's more challenging and more fun. It also feels more like you're actually driving.

Check out the trailer:

Racing games from my closet

Look at these games! I have never really thought about the amount of racing games I own.

The funny thing is that I didn't even find them all!

Now I can see that maybe I should get something else than racing games for a change.

There's new and old stuff in the same pile. I absolutely love retro games so I can't get rid of any single one of them even though I have a lot.

The games are on the following consoles: 8bit Nintendo, 8bit Famicom (Japanese Nintendo), Famicom Disk System, 16bit Super Nintendo (both PAL and NTSC), 16bit Super Famicom (Japanese Super Nintendo), Nintendo64, Philips CD-I, Playstation, XBOX, Nintendo Wii, Playstation3, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS and also on PC.

If you are curious about the games and if you can't see from this picture then just ask me.

The game that I enjoy the most is probably Mario Kart Wii. I like to use the steering wheel instead of regular controllers because it feels more like driving.

In China I tried a Mario Kart game at the arcades. I got the best feeling of the game by sitting in a car instead of holding just a wheel at home. I had to stop in the middle of the game cause I kept winning all the races. Didn't have time to sit there all day so I gave my seat to a teenager and let him continue my game.

Earlier I told you guys about my newest game F1 Race Stars. If you like Mario Kart then F1 race starts is the game you should get!

In October I shall buy F1 2013 and that will probably be the last racing game for this year.

PS3: F1 RACE STARS

Check this out! I just bought this today for 19 euros and it was worth every penny. I could have paid even more for this one because this game is fun as hell!

I heard about this for the first time in November or December if I remember correctly. It came out around christmas and was about 60 euros.

Now it is August already so I guess this game is now "old" or "outdated" and they are selling all the remaining games very cheep.

If you have no idea what this game is then this is a Formula One game made in the same style as the Super Mario Kart games. I love Super Mario Kart and I am very good at it so this game should be a walk in the park for me. This is way cooler though because you don't have to be Mario, Luigi, Yoshi or the princess. You can play as any Formula One driver from the 2012 season!

I haven't played this that much yet but I tried out on a few tracks. I was a few times second and won a race as well. The problem in the beginning was that I didn't really understand everything.

In Super Mario Kart your car is in the same condition from the beginning till the end. This game makes it more difficult. Your car breaks down sometimes and then you have to go to the pits and repair it.

This means that you can't just go straight. You must really overtake your opponents and not crash into them and then suddenly you are in front of them like in Super Mario Kart.

This game is made by Codemasters. They also have official versions of Formula One every year.

In two months the F1 2013 will come out and then I probably gotta get that one as well.

Everybody who own a Playstation 3 usually buy a lot of shooting games and stuff like that. I am not one of those persons. I only buy fighting games and sports games. If you want some examples then here is a few: Mortal Kombat, UFC, Tekken, Street Fighter, FIFA, NHL, F1.

I just love to beat up imaginary ninjas or to be the fastest man on the planet (in my living room). 

When I have parties there's almost always somebody who puts the Playstation on and then all the guys are kicking each others asses in different games. The girls usually just complain that we are boring and after a while some of them want's to join us too.
