10 Video Games That Cost ALL YOUR FRIENDS

10. Mario Kart

Mario Kart may be one of the greatest multiplayer games of all time, but it should probably also come with a content warning - as should all the games on this list, really - that it’s liable to generate some serious dissension among your tightest pals.

How infuriating could a Mario-themed racing game possibly be, you ask? Well, given that Mario Kart is actually a low-key microcosm of the uncaring randomness of the universe, quite a lot in fact.

No matter how skilled a racer you might be, you’ll always be at the mercy of the game’s random item allocation. 

This ensures there’s no accounting for your slowpoke mate popping a Blue Shell on the home straight and taking you firmly out of the running with a single button press.

The Germans probably have a very long word to describe the specific brand of psychic pain felt by a last-minute loss in Mario Kart, because it becomes tough not to resent an inferior friend snatching the victory clean out of your hands.
