Madworld on Nintendo Wii

Check out Madworld by Sega .. This game is hardcore and probably one of the most action packed aggressive /goriest games on the Nintendo Wii.

Details below :

MADWORLD is an inventive third-person action game exclusively for Wii and has a unique black and white style, depicting an incredibly sharp backdrop that straddles graphic novels and 3D worlds.

As players battle opponents, they must master the use of various weapons and items found within their environment, such as chainsaws and street signs, while entertaining sports commentary adds to the thirdperson gameplay. With its irreverent humour and over-the-top violence, MADWORLD will deliver a unique core gaming experience.

Features:

Killer looks – black and white stylised graphics based on comic books and graphic novels deliver a stunning and unique looking game.

Exciting, visceral gameplay – fast and instinctive arcade-style gameplay with brutal finishing moves delivered by the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

Over-the-top violence and irreverent content – exaggerated characters, murderous moves, monstrous bosses & outrageous commentary add to the irreverent and humorous tone.

Multiplayer mini-games – compete in a variety of ultra-violent “partygames” that can be played hotseat against friends.

Resident Evil 4 Apple Iphone Released Accidently Early !! ??

Seems like a few Japanese iPhone customers managed to get their hands on the iPhone Edition of Resident Evil 4 which was released in the Japanese iTunes store very very briefly before it was pulled off its shelves for reasons unknown. We have managed to get some screenshots and video gameplay. Which isnt too bad.
One thing you might want to consider when watching the video is that the speed and gameplay might be a little smoother on the new 3Gs models.
Check it out for yourselves and be the judges. It looks better than Resident Evil : Degeneration which is available for download from the iTunes store at the moment.

Either way this minor interuption shouldn’t cause too many issues. We should see RE4 back in the iTunes store soon. Fingers Crossed 😉
