Empire has announced an optimized version of last year's Mashed, a top down racing game that pits up to four players against each other in a gladiatorial racing battle. Mashed: Fully Loaded, is not a sequel as the new version will mostly have the same content, just with an updated gfx, optimized camera controls, improved power-up system, additional tournament and training mode, new tracks, and a total of 15 cars each with their own specific handling. A release date has not been announced yet, but it is due first in the UK. Read more for some new screens...

The world record for one of history's most revered classic arcade games has fallen. Steve Wiebe of Redmond, Washington, has scored 947,200 points on Donkey Kong, leaving in the dust noted rivals like the legendary Billy Mitchell and Timothy Sczerby of Auburn, NY. "The feat was recorded on videotape so future generations can see how it was done," explains Walter Day, Chief Editor of the forthcoming edition of Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records. Wiebe is not a newcomer to video game royalty: last year he became the first player in Twin Galaxies' 23-year-history to pass the one million-point barrier on Donkey Kong Junior. "Donkey Kong was one of the top three most hotly contested titles in arcade history, the other two being Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man," says Robert Mruczek, Chief Referee for Twin Galaxies. Mruczek was the Twin Galaxies employee who viewed Wiebe's 2-hour long videotape in order to verify the legitimacy of the claim to the Donkey Kong title.
