There isn't a lot of information known, but let's look at what we have already. The first game is called Madworld. This game looks INCREDIBLY violent and is basically a cross between No More Heroes and Frank Miller's Sin City. The game is completely in black and white, other than the bloodshed. But here's the rub - it comes out for the Wii. It's always nice to hear about an incredibly violent addition to the Wii's repertoire. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbg6-yLgy_Y">Here's a trailer</a>, but be cautioned that it's extremely violent. The next game is a Nintendo DS game called Infinite Line. The game is described to be one of the most complex RPG titles the DS has seen. In the game, you can control multiple spaceships at one time. The game also offers over 200 characters to select. I don't know, maybe this game is going to end up giving me the 'too much space on my iPod' problem where I can't decide what to listen to. The third game is called Bayonetta. The game is directed by the creator of Devil May Cry, which shows great promise. The teaser trailer is below, but again, it's quite violent. <div style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qD62SZwhP1M&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qD62SZwhP1M&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <div style="text-align: left;">The last game has no name or title or concept or anything - it only has a name behind it. It's being created by Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil. So that covers most of the major platforms while still sprinkling in some pretty awesome concepts and names. Can't wait to check out some of these beauties. </div></div>Evan Minskerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08184193458510824583noreply@blogger.com
