Mario Kart 7

Date played: December 11th and 12th
Platform: 3DS
Time played: 100 minutes
Session fun rating: 8/10

I played MK7 on and off during the last two days, playing single player cups.  I completed 50cc and did two about four 100cc cups. For one, the new tracks are mostly very good and have a lot of underwater and flying sections compared to the retro cups.  Also, 100cc is definitely a little bit harder as I ended a few races in second and third but still managed to win all cups during my first attempt.
Wuhu Island!

There is also a very cool new feature for the series in MK7, point to point courses. These are easily the highlight tracks in the game. They have Wuhu island in there, the island that was in Pilotwings Resort and Wii Sports and is easily one of the better tracks. The new Rainbow Road is also fucking awesome!  There is a section of it that takes place on the moon!  THE MOTHERFUCKING MOON!
