Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
guessed by CWegzz

Mario earned his racing stripes on the SNES and N64, but it wasn’t until Mario Kart: Double Dash!! on Gamecube that Nintendo's mascot racer unlocked its full potential. Double Dash is the fourth Mario Kart game, but the first to feature two characters per cart: one to drive, one to use items. Not only does this system of two interchangeable characters make the game insanely perfect, but it introduces a cooperative mode previously unseen in Mario Kart. Players can choose from 20 playable characters, 11 of whom are new to the series. Each character has also been given a unique special item, like Mario’s fireballs or Donkey Kong’s giant banana. The only weakness in Double Dash is its battle arenas, which never quite match those in Mario Kart 64.

Correct.

Nice, 4/5

The Uncharted series is what brought me back into hardcore console gaming after a very long time of being away. The HD graphics of the first game did a good job at drawing me back to the big screen, where I would remain until now. The first game was followed by a second, and a third, the prettiest yet, and one of the prettiest of the entire generation.

I have always preferred to story of the third game in the series over that of the second, because it doesn't rely on supernatural myths and feels more like a more realistic treasure hunt. In 'Uncharted 3', Nathan Drake, the player's character for the series, travels to an abandoned chateau in France, Yemen, Syria and the amazing looking Rub' al Khali desert before finally reaching the legendary, hidden city of Ubar. All after a particularly amusing opening scene that takes place in Londen and a flashback of young Drake's early thieving days in Cartagena.

Interestingly, this is also the first game where I tried the 3D function on the television ever, though it was some time after I had already completed the game. Quite impressive, but the graphics always were. Aside from it's looks, it is still the gameplay which draws towards games like this. They seem to be tailor-made especially for me.

Now to somewhat make a 180 game-wise again:

A ton of riddles and a broken camera, but it still ends in a sword fight.
