We know that EDGE handed out a 9 / 10 score to Mario Kart 8. But what did the magazine actually say about Nintendo’s new racer?

CVG picked out a few quotes, starting with the following:

“Even 2011’s effervescent 3DS outing, Mario Kart 7, feels somewhat lifeless by comparison. The new HD visuals are gorgeous, but Nintendo has also built on 7’s neatly interlaced mechanics and introduced a nuanced handling model to create the greatest Mario Kart yet.”

EDGE had some criticism for Mario Kart 8’s Balloon Battle mode’s arenas, but the publication still said that the game “is as essential a purchase as Super Mario 3D World.”

Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom will be the next video game entry in the series from WayForward, publisher Little Orbit announced today. It will debut on 3DS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Steam this November. A Wii U version is not planned.

Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom features a classic top-down action adventure experience and puzzle-solving elements, reminiscent of early high fantasy console games.

Players will be taking on the roles of both Finn and Jake as they navigate through the eponymous kingdom – a mysterious unexplored region in the Land of Ooo. The two characters will find hidden secrets by exploring all corners of a brand new kingdom made just for the game and encounter never-seen-before characters and creatures.
