10 Best Gaming Moments Of 2014 (So Far)

9. Rainbow Road - Mario Kart 8

NintendoNintendoIf there's one thing we always look forward to in a Mario Kart game, it's tackling the infamously challenging Rainbow Road track, one which has plagued gamers for decades throughout the various iterations of the series. With its devilishly sharp turns and perilously narrow track, Rainbow Road is simultaneously a fan favourite and also the most infuriating track in the history of the entire franchise, and its glossy Wii U equivalent is certainly no exception. It's safe to say that Rainbow Road has never looked better: the Wii U may drag its heels behind the PS4 and Xbox One technically, though you wouldn't know that from the eye-wateringly beautiful textures, which combined with the addition of anti-gravity sections make this the most enjoyable interpretation of the famed track yet. As brilliantly fun as almost every track in Mario Kart 8 is, it's Rainbow Road that blew most of us away, and ensured that Nintendo effortlessly created another classic installment in the series.
