Enthusia Professional Racing If you're the type of virtual racer who wants to deal with the super-realism of a hardcore simulator, you won't want to miss our review of Enthusia Professional Racing. With Enthusia, you'll get a good-looking, challenging game with a nice collection of cars to win and race. You'll also get the steep learning curve that some gamers thrive on.

Not even a year later, the sequel is out, but Nintendo can once again pull off creative, charming and simple fun? As with the endless line of Dance Dance Revolution games, it’s Donkey Konga 2 is less a new game and more of a slight song upgrade to the original. If you loved the original and just want
