Review: TNT Racers (PSN)

Tweet TNT Racers is basically a throwback to the top-down arcade racers of the 8-bit days. If you’ve ever played a kart racer, or an arcade racer from the early 90s, you’ll know what to expect. Think of RC Pro AM or Rock n’ Roll Racing for a comparison. The sad thing however is that TNT...
