MadWorld
Sales for this baby have been awful, and it's a crying shame. Sega put some faith in MadWorld and the title (like the recent House of the Dead) has been enjoying a slow death rattle on shelves ever since.
Graphically glorious and superbly visceral, MadWorld is the spawn of Shigenori Nishikawa and Tokuro Fujiwara. The world is presented in a breathtaking grayscale interrupted by spews of crimson blood. MadWorld's all about over the top violence and humor, and the game is damn rife with the stuff.
Do the Wii a favor and show support for this game and more like it by spending some bucks and picking it up. Hell, the game is $30 at Gamestop as I write this.
The Conduit
Hey, this arrived in most stores today! The Conduit is another marvelous title that's been making waves in the Nintendo fan community. Folks have been clamoring for an incredible, 3rd party FPS experience for the Wii and High Voltage Software has delivered.
I spent some time with The Conduit at both the '09 NYCC and E3. I walked away with a fantastic experience and plan to pick up the game as soon as I can.
Set in the generic land of alien shooters, The Conduit is a title that explores conspiracy and mystery through a pumped up and flexed out control system. Fully (and I mean fully) customizable controls can be found within. Because of that, this game speaks volumes for potential 3rd party FPS support for the Wii. Oh, slap on some developed multiplayer with Wii Speak support and you've got a recipe for longevity. Weird for a Wii game. Fans are hoping this one succeeds so that they can see more like it.
