Which is the better character between Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes and Jack Cayman from MadWorld? Bright Hub compares and contrasts the two protagonists and gives you a clear cut winner.
When video games are designed to look a specific way, the visual style can often last well past the viability of a console. This article examines how developers create visually "timeless" graphics, as well as collects several of the most prominent examples.
"Recently, there’s been a lot of press about SEGA and EA’s disappointment with the sales of 'adult' Wii games, such as Mad World and Dead Space: Extraction. While games like Wii Sports Resort seem to sell by the truckload, many 'mature-themed' titles struggle to break even.
Unfortunately this has lead to various games journalists and their readers making a very dubious leap of logic. In short, they're claiming that Nintendo is just for kids. According to certain elements of the gaming commu..."
"When Electronic Arts announced Dead Space Extraction for the Wii—a follow-up to the million-plus selling PS3, 360, and PC title Dead Space—the company explained that the game would be used as a test case to see whether or not it would develop more Mature-rated Wii games in the future. And according to NPD sales figures, Extraction failed: it sold just 9,200 copies in its first week. So what does this mean for the future of Mature Wii games?"
All Age Gaming's Phong Nguyen bring's us the 25th AAG "The Week That Was". This week he discusses the God of War 3 Ultimate Trilogy Edition, GT5's further delay, the Wii getting Netflix, the Xbox 360's 3D capabilities, Project Natal and more!
It is the opinion of Neoseeker writer Lydia Sung that Nintendo has in recent years fallen a bit off the wagon, so to speak. Okay, a lot.

Techspot.com brings up the years-old topic on whether the general Wii audience is interested in mature or 'hardcore' games, using the examples of the recently-released ultra-violent Madworld and the upcoming Capcom game Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles.
Sega and Platinum Games were hopeful that Madworld would be a success, but the game didn't even manage to hit the 70,000 sales mark. Capcom have revealed that they are confident that Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles will sell well, as U...
"I've been away for a couple of days so missed out on the big sales story from last week – namely that GTA: Chinatown Wars has seriously underperformed. The Rockstar developed DS title shifted 89,000 units in the US in March, way below the 200-450,000 analyst prediction. And that's despite the game being rather good and certainly not just the retro remake of GTA 1 or 2 that many feared. So what happened? Is the Nintendo DS audience just not interested in "mature" gaming?
And it's not just t..."
"Nintendo made the Wii for girls. Oh, and grandmas, too, who are like girls, except with more wrinkles and better oatmeal cookies. But you know who the Wii is NOT for? People who play video games consistently, i.e. guys, and that’s why the Nintendo Wii is doomed for failure in the long run."
"While Wii may be selling faster than tickets to an all boy choir being sold at a Catholic parish, the games have received very little fanfare on the review front. Outside of the occasional mini-game compilation and first-party titles, Wii has struggled greatly in North America to establish any sort of strong sales figures for third-party games that measure up to the console's install base. Hardcore and casual third-party exclusive titles for the Wii fall very flat in comparison to the PLAYSTA..."
