Mario Kart 7 is well worth purchasing and a vital chapter in the lineage of the Mario Kart series.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is ultimately the best Mario Kart game of all-time.

Mario Kart 8 is worth buying a Nintendo Wii U console for, because it's an all-time great release from the series.

Mario Kart DS is an absolute joy and a near-flawless portable racing game.

I urge you to check out Mario Kart: Super Circuit, because even after all these years, it's still thoroughly entertaining.

Mario Kart Wii can entertain for hours, but it will enrage in equal measure.

Super Mario Kart is a terrific game and one of the most important Nintendo games ever.

Here is a review for Infinity Ward's latest instalment in the Call Of Duty franchise, available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

If you hoped that WWE 2K20 would be anything more than being just another game, then unfortunately you will not be impressed.

For fans of horror games, I would recommend Outlast 2 on your shopping list.

I would encourage that any Assassin’s Creed fan, or role-playing game enthusiast, should try Odyssey,

Mario Kart: Double Dash delivers hours and hours of fun, and is simply a fantastic game.

Mario Kart 64 is an all-time great game, and the best entry of a stunning series.

WWE 2K19 provides the best wrestling videogame experience in a good five years.

WWE 2K18 is far from the perfect wrestling game, or even a great wrestling game, but it is an improvement over 2K17 & still delivers a lot of entertainment.

If you already own Dark Souls, then you should probably hold off unless you’re an avid fan of the series like I am.

Royal Rumble is almost always overshadowed by the more famous WWF games on PS1 and N64. Mind you, there's a good reason why: Royal Rumble is nowhere near as good as any of its three counterparts from that year, but that isn't to say that it's a completely bad game.

If you can appreciate it for what it is, nearly 20 years later, War Zone remains one of the most fun wrestling games ever, and a vital chapter in the history of wrestling - and especially WWF/WWE - videogames.

Although it hasn't aged well, WWF Attitude remains a milestone in the history of wrestling videogames, and a good climax to the final era before the THQ era for WWF/WWE videogames.

WrestleMania 2000 was awesome, and a perfect snapshot of wrestling's greatest ever era.

It wasn't quite flawless, but it was as close to perfection as one would expect; if the modern WWE 2K titles were as good as No Mercy, no fans would ever be complaining. A phenomenal wrestling game that all diehard fans should play.

If you decided to go for SmackDown!, you probably would have had, and still today probably would have, a whale of a time.

Had the near-perfect No Mercy not been released around the same time, this would be even more fondly remembered but, even when you take this into account, Know Your Role was great, and still marked one of the high points of WWF/WWE wrestling games.

Just like the 2001-era WWF in comparison to today's WWE, some fans would much rather have Just Bring It than the modern-day 2K titles. Still, within the series as a whole, Just Bring It comes in somewhere near the bottom.

After three SmackDown! games which had positives but also a fair number of negatives, the fourth title in the series was the first to bring everything together. Every area that had been lacking was addressed, whilst the elements which had been lauded by fans remained in place, resulting in one hell of a wrestling game.

Here Comes The Pain is amongst the elite of wrestling games, and if you don't believe me, get playing it on your PlayStation 2 and you'll soon find yourself realising why Here Comes The Pain is one of the greatest wrestling games, if not the greatest wrestling game, ever made.

Has any wrestling game had a tougher act to follow than SmackDown! vs. Raw? SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain was such an outstanding game from top to bottom that nothing less than absolute perfection would have been considered an acceptable sequel.

SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain was and is considered to be the holy grail of wrestling games, at least within the SmackDown! series of titles for a variety of reasons. However, one game which doesn't get quite as much adulation, but arguably provided a stronger overall package, was SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006.

In the end, despite the build-up, many felt that the game was a shade inferior to the 2006 SmackDown; however, the entertainment value and feature set were strong enough that it was still one hell of a wrestling title.

At the time of its release, SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 was considered a big disappointment compared to its two most immediate predecessors, and in hindsight, it is considered the point where the highly-rated series began to decline. But is that fair or were fans too hard on SvR 2008? Let's take a look ...

While 2K17 delivers tremendous entertainment in a lot of ways, it also has many areas for potential improvement which, combined with a lack of growth in other feature sets, results in a game which is by no means bad, but is generally a disappointment.

Despite the limitations of RTWM and Career mode, these were still much better and a lot more fun than the flawed 24/7 experience in the previous game.

While the main issues had yet to be fixed, SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 is generally remembered fondly, if not quite reaching "great" status.

SvR 2011 falls somewhere in the middle on the spectrum of games from the series; at the heart of the game, you still had a damn fun wrestling title.

It offered a fresher approach than SvR 11 had, but there were still several big issues remaining in this game (some of which would be fixed in WWE '13).

WWE 2K14's wealth of features all combine for a terrific wrestling game, the best in almost a decade.

Far from the new industry standard that I was hoping for, WWE 2K15 is a major disappointment, and the worst game of a series which began in the year 2000.

Compared to the incomplete experience that we got one year ago, WWE 2K16 is a much better entry in the series and, for wrestling fans, is a game that you should own.

Whilst it definitely could have been expanded or improved, I still consider this to be one of the top five WWF/WWE videogames ever.

For football fans, it was the best option available in order to recreate the thrills and spills of the beautiful game in the virtual world.

This is, hands down along with Grand Theft Auto V, the reason why 2013 gaming ruled!

If you own a games console, you cannot afford to miss this gaming phenomenon. A must-buy.

As it is, WWE '13 remains a great game, and is in my top five or six for the entire series.

In terms of this game alone, it is a solid entry, and one which they can feel proud about, although it is still chained by the same problems that its predecessors have had.
