This week, sulci takes a look at the last 4 event taking place at Nerd Olympics this year: Mario Kart Wii, Halo 3, Rock Band 2 and Nerd Trivia.
Mario Kart Wii
The sixth game in the Mario Kart series, Mario Kart Wii adds motorcycles, a bunch of new characters, and a huge collection of 32 tracks to race on. The Wii version also allows you to steer your cart or bike with a steering wheel, although Nerd Olympians will have the option to use Classic Controller as well.
This year the INOC has decided to run 4 player races on random maps. Items will be set to strategic (no shells). The top two players of each heat move on to the finals.
