Classic Game Room HD reviews MADWORLD for Nintendo Wii published by Sega! This review has Madworld gameplay footage from Sega’s Madworld for Nintendo Wii showing Madworld being played in HD (upconverted from component). What a game! Who complains about the lack of violent, explosive, action packed video games on the Wii with games like Mad World? The gameplay in Mad World is fast paced, violent, over the top and completely insane. It’s like playing a living comic book. Sin City, Hard Boiled and numerous other dark, black and white comics come to mind (although Hard Boiled was in color, the environment, detail and carnage feel familiar). Madworld puts your character in the ultra violent game show of the future, like The Running Man. Except all is not as it seems and Madworld has an interesting plot to compliment the uber violent nature of the game. The graphic novel style and unique Nintendo Wii controllers enhance the experience with a unique sci-fi horror feel and excitement. It’s like The Running Man meets Escape from New York. Whip you Wiimote around to impale people on spikes or crush them in garbage cans. Bloodthirsty hordes of drugged out mungheads wander the streets of Deathwatch waiting to be cut in half with a chainsaw. Evil Dead 2 anyone? Madworld should appeal to anyone looking for an action packed, blood soaked free-for-all on the Wii which has good controls and excellent graphics and gameplay. Not for young children or those scared of cartoonish blood. Marks …

CGR reviews Rock Band 3 for PS3 with Rock Band 2 instruments (that work freshy fresh). The big, new thing with Rock Band 3 is the ability to play with the new Rock Band 3 instruments in the Pro mode (Professional Mode) which play more like real instruments giving a much more challenging experience. Real musicians rejoice, pro mode is here! For the rest of us who enjoy pushing plastic buttons Rock Band 3 remains very similar to Rock Band 2 and works with the awesome Rock Band music store (as well as many tracks from previous games).

Classic Game Room HD reviews MAD CATZ Playstation 3 Wireless Gamepad controller for the PS3. This Mad Catz controller is very similar to the Sony brand Sixaxis controller but with some stand out differences. For starters, it runs on 2 AA batteries. It is larger, heavier and has triggers that actually feel like triggers for the L2 and R2 buttons. Overall build quality is high and gameplay is pretty much the same. This Classic Game Room HD hardware review looks closely at the Mad Catz …
