Yes, it’s another one of those fun and very impressive game remakes using the Source engine. This time it’s the N64 classic Perfect Dark. Now, for the younger gamers out there, please don’t confuse the original Perfect Dark with its sickly sequel Perfect Dark Zero. The original was the spiritual sequel to GoldenEye 007 and it showed with incredible level design and gameplay balancing. They don’t make them like this anymore, well, unless you count remakes like Perfect Dark Source.
Mario Kart is oddly one of those Nintendo franchises that fans love to complain about, yet continually buy. The tweaking between each new iteration can be maddening to many fans, but it is what keeps the franchise fresh. Still, some fans weren’t quite happy with Nintendo’s development track and they released their own version for the PC. Based on the Source engine that powers Half-Life 2, Mario Kart Source may not be much to look at, but the gameplay sure seems to be there in spades.
