Made a bit of progress on Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Two games with obscenely long titles.
I sucked at SASAR when I played the demo, but once I realized that the drifting was done by just holding the button down, while accelerating, it's been much more fun. I'd been trying do drift like in Ridge Racer or Burnout by letting off the gas, tapping the brake, cutting the wheel into the turn, and hitting the gas again. Instead of initiating a drift, I'd just swerve akwardly into the walls.
I'm mostly working toward unlocking all the characters at the moment. Ulala was the main priority, and I'm working down from there.
