Madworld review

Taking inspiration from Arnie’s movie The Running Man, top-down arcade shooter Smash TV and the more recent movie Sin City, MadWorld lets you go on a journey of human and mutant destruction in a deadly gameshow called Death Watch. You play as Jack, one of many contestants forced to play the game on the quarantined Jefferson Island. Armed with your fists, a chainsaw and pickups dotted around the town, you must maim and kill in imaginative ways to build up your score multiplier. Once you hit enough points, you can then fight the bosses who are, how shall we say,...

Madworld review

I suppose it would be silly to deny that the Wii hasn’t had quite the same level of adult orientated games as the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. I do think however that the criticism of excessive shovelware has been put onto Wii unfairly. I remember a time when people criticized the Nintendo 64 and GameCube for lack of third party support but now its here on Wii they don’t like it. Could this be because most third party games aren’t first person shooters set on a space station? Personally I don’t think it would matter if GTA5 was a...

Onslaught review

It’s funny, even though the Wii Remote and Nunchuck were tipped to be the ultimate control mechanism for FPS games when the Wii was first revealed by Nintendo, we haven’t had that many on the system compared to the Xbox 360. Red Steel was the first and whilst it was fun, the controls didn’t seem to live up to the initial speculation. Slowly but surely since then other titles have started arriving and the signs of games developers getting used to the Wii’s unique control system are good. Metroid Prime 3 and Call of Duty World at War for Wii...

The game features: Single player and Multiplayer modes Robot Customization Compelling mechanics Special Attacks 20 weapons and 10 arenas Whilst the screenshots and trailer don’t look too...
