This Sonic-themed kart racer takes the spikey cast of anthropomorphic animals and gives them some spiffy wheels on which to speed. Characters are broken down into speed, technical, and power classes, each of which has unique perks. You can also drive over power ups to give yourself temporary buffs or offensive attacks against opponents. Unlike other kart racers, Team Sonic Racing is cooperative by nature, so you win by working together with teammates and earning points.

Capcom is releasing several Resident Evil classics this month. Resident Evil, also known by fans as the REmake, is a high-definition remake of the original PS1 survival horror game, filled with dark corridors, flesh-eating abominations, and lots of tension. Resident Evil 4 veers into action-game territory, with an expanded offensive move list, campy humor, and some excellent third-person shooting. Resident Evil 0, while not as well-liked as the others, gives you two players to use simultaneously, and serves as a precursor to the horrors in the original.
