MadWorld, for the Wii, will keep the blood.

October 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Oh it’s a MadWorld isn’t it? Not really.

Crushingly poor jokes aside, a report on MTV Multiplayer has revealed that Sega are working closely with the ESRB to make sure that their monochromatic ultra-violent, blood fest, avoids an Adult Only (or AO for you hip youngsters) rating.

Funny pant suits, and new MadWorld video and screenshots, after the jump.

What could have been more Portally than Portal?

September 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments

What could be more portally than portal you ask? Well how about a portal shaped portal with a portal inside of it? Even if you’re a cantankerous old cynic, you have to admit that’s pretty portally, unless you, Mr-I’m-So-Smart, can think of something better… Which I very much doubt you can.

However, I don’t think my portally portal is quite what LittleBigPlanet Devs, Media Molecule, were getting at.

Hark? Is that a jump I hear?

Non-Fiction: Call of Duty World at War Collector’s Edition Gives You Day One DISadvantage

September 26th, 2008 · 10 Comments

Collector’s editions tend to vary in quality. Whereas some just chuck in a free art book and send you on your way, others go all out crazy and include figurines, lunch boxes, alarm clocks and T-shirts, much like Call of Duty World at War, which has some pretty cool stuff like a smokin’ hot storage tin and a high temperatured canteen to drink from, but also includes the controversial day one advantage of having the FG 42 machine gun unlocked from day one as well as a week of double EXP.

If my predictions are correct, you’re probably running up a grassy slope screaming “ah the wind feels good on my nose, but more importantly this Collector’s Edition looks sweet!”, however I’d stop running if I were you for two reasons:

  1. Grass slopes can be slippery, and there are serious health and safety implications to be had from running on them.
  2. The day one advantage is actually the complete opposite: a disadvantage.

Find out why after the jump.
