Well, OK, then. I shall be dipping my toe into the game waters once again. I never can resist the car-race games at the nickelcade. Seriously?!? Well, OK, then.

I only had about 6 games for my PS2, but I used to wear out that Burnout3 disc. It wasn't about real-world-branded cars or accurate damage — it was about going fast as balls, and not being afraid to trade paint with the other racers. A very fun mix of reality and arcade.

Check. Double check. Blacken that check box and then go over it a tenth time—and then some. This is one of the only games I ever played, but I played the hezmana out of it. It was the start of Amber's long and dangerous life with uberfast cars that turn on a dime and always seem to be seeking that elusive finish line. That said.... Did I know there was a cartoon? Negatory. Do I feel I missed out? Does Not Compute. Played the game? Check. Double check. Blacken that check box and then go over it a tenth time—and then some.

Is it bad I could still sing the song? Put it right up there with MASK and Turbo Teen as my more memorable fun car cartoons. Don’t tell me I don’t remember Pole Position.
