Kursed Kart Racers comes careening down the track for the eleventh time! Weve still got some more PS2 shovelware titles to suffer through before we can finally move past the sixth console generation. (Not that things get any better after that.)
EDITORS NOTE: We accidentally credit the developers and publisher of 2008s Wacky Race as being Infogrames and Taito [respectively]. In actuality, this arcade title is developed by the studio Gamewax, and published by Banpresto. Blame Launchboxs database for polling the wrong info.
