MadWorld  Sega (Platinum Games)2009Get ready to fight for your life in MadWorld for Wii, where your chainsaw is your best (and only) friend. Jack is just an everyday citizen, who gets dropped headfirst into the terror of Death Watch, a brutal game created by a bunch of vindictive terrorists, known only as ‘The Organisation’. On the streets of Varrigan City, there is no choice – attack first, think later.

Jack’s number one priority is to stay alive, but in order for this to become a long-term option, he must battle his way to the nerve-centre of The Organisation and uncover the real motive behind this modern-day gladiator’s arena. Along the way he’ll face the pressure of gruesomely hilarious mini-games that will push him to his limits and confront monstrous bosses, for whom mercy isn’t an option.

Always over-the-top and outrageously funny, MadWorld features eye-popping graphics that suck you into the maelstrom of madness and leave you begging for more. Think of a slick monochromatic graphic novel, transport it to an interactive 3D world, add a riot of sound and a huge weapons collection, and you’re just about there. No object is without its bone-splintering possibilities: street signs, dumpsters, tires – your survival will depend on being inventive and ruthless in equal measure.

Making innovative use of Wii’s motion-sensing capabilities, MadWorld employs the versatility of both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk to deliver ferocious finishing moves in a whole variety of macabre ways. Although Jack is very much on a one-man mission, you can also share the experience with your friends, by getting together for some special party games. There’s no cuddly toy for the winner here though.

MadWorld for Wii – it’s a very, very bad world...
- Stunning black and white stylised graphics that create a truly unique look
- Fast and instinctive arcade-style gameplay using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk
- Compete in a set of extreme multiplayer mini-games and see who has what it takes to be a MadWorld winner
- Interact resourcefully with your environment to deliver the ultimate fatal knockdown to your opponents***

New Super Mario Bros. Wii Nintendo2009[media=youtube]https://youtu.be/Ag7cAQcrd-E[/media]***
[100]***
[12]***New Super Mario Bros. Wii offers a combination of cooperation and competition. Players can pick each other up to save them from danger or toss them into it. Mario, Luigi and two Toads are all playable characters, while many others from the Mushroom Kingdom make appearances throughout the game. Players can even ride different Yoshi characters and use their tongues to swallow enemies, items and even balls of fire. In some areas, players use the motion abilities of the Wii Remote controller. The first player to reach a seesaw might make it tilt to help his or her character reach a higher platform - or might maike it tilt incorrectly just to mess with other players. New items include the propeller suit, which will shoot players high into the sky with just a shake of the Wii Remote, and Mario’s new ability to transform into Penguin Mario. At the end of each stage during the coin battle multiplayer mode, players are ranked based on the number of coins they have collected.

[104]***This Zelda game features an interface designed arround the Wii MotionPlus. The sword follows the wiimote movements, realistic bow and arrow operation.

Graphics are a combination of style from Wind Waker and Twilight princess and have an impressionist feel inspired by Paul Cézanne's works.

[b]Story[/b]
This time Links comes from the heavens down to rid the world below of enemies. The origin of the Master Sword is explained. The Sword is associated with a feminine artificial being. This game is pre-Gannon and takes place before Ocarina of Time and possibly before any other official Zelda game.
