Madworld

Madworld is a great idea, a brutal game with a colorful art direction, and it uses Motion Control in a crazy yet entertaining way. But after you get through about an hour of the game, that all fades away. The story is very bland, you're a guy named Jack (hardcore name) and you compete in this game that involve--alright I'm going to be honest, I've skipped every single cutscene besides the opening one. If you're coming to Madworld for a story, I'm sorry. Madworld has commentators that speak some very 'mature' dialogue. In the first 30 or so minutes, these guys are hilarious! Then you realize that they're going to repeat the same exact thing multiple times throughout a level and the worst part? They sometimes have conversations which is good in real commentary but when I just heard this conversation about 20 minutes ago, I don't want to hear it again.

The main draw to Madworld is obviously the brutal combat and so far, I enjoy it quite a bit. Sure, it can get extremely repetitive but I've learned to deal with that and just enjoy doing a uppercut then chainsaw through the stomach. At the end of every section (level) there is a  boss fight. Each boss fight does have some variety which is extremely lacking throughout most of this game but the problem with the boss fights is the variety they have is just different ways they attack, the way you kill them is still the same run up, chainsaw legs, wait for quick time event. The final quick time event to every boss is definitely brutal and satisfying but I really wanted something good to back all that up. At Madworlds cheap price, it's hard not to recommend it. Go pick it up and turn the volume down and get ready to skip cutscenes.

FIFA Soccer 10

The FIFA games are always very good and never seize to impress with it's in-depth Be a Pro mode and it's deep gameplay. That doesn't change with this

installment. I still found myself having excessive amounts of fun although I done most of this last year. The excitement you feel when you're doing a breakaway heading to the goalie is insurmountable. Man, sports games are hard to write about when you haven't done every single thing in the game so what I say is, buy for soccer fans, rent for non soccer fans.

Punch Out!!

Since I got my new fangled Wii system, I have a few (and I mean a FEW) good games to catch up on, you already learned about one of those games and the other is Punch Out!! I never played any of the original Punch Out!!'s (Do I really need to put 2 exclamation marks every time I write that? Me thinks no.) so this was all a new experience for me. The characters in Punch Out are...racist and extremely stereotypical. I'm not someone that gets easily offended by stuff like this but even I was drawn back a little when I saw Disco Kid and his Carlton dance. The main controls I am using is the Wiimote tilted to the side because A) I'm not a monster and B) that seems like the way to go. While the control scheme seems very simple (dodge with the d-pad, punch with the 1 and 2 buttons), the people you go up against will throw in things like you'll have to dodge at a certain time

to avoid being punched so it really puts you on the edge of your seat.

To beat the higher up opponents, it becomes extremely difficult to the point where you will have to go to the practice stage and just watch his moves and try and memorize them for about 10-15 minutes before actually stepping into the ring with him. That might sound annoying but I fount that it added to extreme relief and excitement once you finally beat that opponent. Punch Out!! (Shit, I just done it again) is an extremely satisfying game that is easy for me to recommend to everyone that owns a Wii.
