Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is a juiced-up remake of the classic late 90s racer, containing all the tracks from the original game, all the tracks from its PS2 sequel, and plenty of extra content in the form of free DLC updates. Now Crash and the gang are getting into charity work, via Activision’s own Call of Duty Endowment program. The program helps war veterans obtain high-quality jobs when they leave the service, and CTR’s new Firehawk Kart is meant to support the cause. The Firehawk Kart is a vehicle fashioned in the style of an old-timey WWII biplane, complete with “kamikaze” face on the nose. 100% of profits earned from the Firehawk Kart’s sale will go to the COD Endowment. Currently Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is knee-deep in the Spooky Grand Prix, the fourth Grand Prix to be held in the game. Three new racers have arrived in this update: Nina Cortex, Dr. N. Brio, and Komodo Moe. The former will appear in the Nitro Gauge while the latter two

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is getting dressed up for Halloween. This month’s new season introduces the Spooky Grand Prix, the fourth Grand Prix to be held in the game. Three new racers will arrive with this update: Nina Cortex, Dr. N. Brio, and Komodo Moe. The former will appear in the Nitro Gauge while the latter two will show up in the Pit Stop. Nina comes with her own new track: Nina’s Nightmare! “In this new track you will race through misty marshes, eerie gardens, and twisted hallways of a haunted manor,” reads the official description. “Dodge your way around pumpkins spitting green ooze that can slow you down to a dead stop. Keep your head in twisted hallways under the foreboding eyes of ancestors long since passed. Then, confront the most terrifying sight of all – a beastly spider-pumpkin hellbent on stomping you into the ground!” There are also new seasonally appropriate karts on the way: the boney Skull Rider, the operatic Phantom kart (inspired by the Organ Grinder

We got a new trailer for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled today, as well as some new information: this game will be even larger than previously thought. It’ll not only contain all the original tracks and karts from the PS1 release (remastered with modern visuals and poly-counts), but it will also have the 13 tracks that were introduced in its sequel, Crash Nitro Kart. “Since the very beginning, we’ve said we’re giving fans a whole lot more in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled,” said Thomas Wilson, co-studio head at Beenox. “As fans, we know the important role that Crash Nitro Kart plays in the Crash franchise among the community, so we’re thrilled to be remastering the tracks, karts and even the battle modes to give players an awesome Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled experience.” Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled will be playable at PAX East in Boston later this week.

All-Star Fruit Racing Now A Thing

All-Star Fruit Racing Now A Thing

Buckle up and hold your melons tight. All-Star Fruit Racing, the new kart racer from developers PQube and 3D Clouds, has just hit every modern playable device. The game contains 21 different courses across five worlds, and customizable fruit-themed karts with 32,000 possible combinations. Don’t sell it short just because it looks like a healthier version of Sugar Rush. Anything you can do in a regular racer, you can do in this fruit-oriented variant. There are multiple modes including Dragster Races, Hill Climbs, Elimination Races, Time Attacks, and a custom mode you can adjust to your own liking…as well as a Career Mode so you can follow a contestant for his/her entire career. You also have Mario Kart-style weapons and power-ups that run on what the game calls “the Juicer power-up system.” Collect fruit that appears along the track to unleash a power attack once your tank is full. The type of attack you can use depends on the type of fruit you collected. And just like Mario Kart (the

Antigraviator Coming To PC June 6

Antigraviator Coming To PC June 6

The anti-gravity racing game Antigraviator is heading to PC soon, courtesy of publisher Iceberg Interactive and developer Cybernetic Walrus. Most gamers speak fondly of high-speed racing titles like F-Zero and Wipeout — with the lament that neither of those series have seen much action lately. This leaves indie titles to fill the gap. But Antigraviator goes beyond just finishing fast and first — it is a competitive racer, so you’ll have the power to slow down your opponents by springing traps — like Mario Kart only at 1,000,000,000 MPH. We’re not kidding about that figure — your speed is NOT capped in the game at all. You can go as fast as your reflexes will permit without crashing into a wall. But due to the competitors and bounty of traps, don’t count on reaching the speed of sound very often. “We’re extremely proud of Antigraviator and how the development has gone,” says Mike Coeck, CEO of Cybernetic Walrus. “We had the opportunity to showcase the game at several events such

Fast-Paced Indie Racer Cologne Now Available In Windows Store

Nhneno Games was founded in Poland by developer Piotr Młynarczyk. Cologne, their first title, is now out in the Windows Store (it’s already on Steam). The game isn’t about male perfume; it’s a high-speed racer reminiscent of F-Zero and Wipeout, Both series have been dormant for a long time, leaving indie devs to fill the gap. The game gets its name from its backstory: humans have left Earth and colonized space, but needed some kind of competition to keep from going crazy. That’s why they founded the Cologne Racing System, an intergalactic racing program. But it doesn’t matter how we get to the racing part, so long as we’re whipping through light tunnels at 600 MPH. “The Millennium Bridge in London was the original inspiration for Cologne,” states Mlynarczyk. “It already looks like a futuristic racing track! I’m a huge fan of science fiction and racing games. With my love for Wipeout and F-Zero, I just had to create a futuristic racing game of my own. That game is Cologne.”
