New Video Games Due This Week

I'm biding my time until Sunday when Mario Kart (Wii, E) makes it's Wii debut. For anyone unfamiliar with Mario Kart, it is one of the most fun racing games that has been a Nintendo staple for every system since the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). While waiting for Sunday, I'll be playing Wild Earth: African Safari (Wii, E), which arrives in stores tomorrow. Wild Earth puts players in the role of a photo journalist sent on an adventure through Africa's Serengeti National Park.
