Cause I sure am. Now, lets face it, as much as I love Nintendo, I've been kinda disappointed with the lack of quality games over the summer. I mean, the only game I found good enough to buy was "No More Heroes", but I never got around to it (I will). But, lo and behold, I'm am really exited about the recent announcement of the new game from the independent developer PlatinumGames and Sony, "Madworld." And oh man, does it look awesome.

Literally, its LOOKS awesome. Its has the definite Frank Miller look with the black and white, and it reminds me of the movie 'Sin City' (based off of the comics by said mentioned) with the only color being red. From the, you know, blood. Cause this game is all M, not for those little kids and soccer moms who own much of the Nintendo Wii's. The main character is not loveable, he's all bad ass and such. The game play looks real good too, and its been confirmed that this game is all action. No pushing boxes and searching for keys. No puzzles, ACTION! AND BLOOD! Another great part is that its supposed to have lots of great weapons, as well as the ability to use the environment as one. This game is gonna rock!

After I wipe the drool from my chin, I'm gonna get to the universal look this game gives me. Another quality Mature game really gets my hopes up that this might be the first of a string of great games set to come out on my precious Wii. With "No More Heroes" getting much attention and great reviews, and hopefully "Madworld" will copy this, (what am I saying? Of course it will!) the possibilities are endless. Face it, both of these games are risk/reward, and when they succeed, maybe, just maybe, other third party developers will take those risks and make more games for the Wii.

Last but not least, I'm exited about PlatinumGames, formed by two developers who had worked on gems like Viewtful Joe and Okami, will provide more great games for the starving Wii. This game is sheer awesomeness, and hopefully it will bring more of these kind of games, though maybe not all Mature ones, in the near future. All I know is if I can impale a guys head with a road sign, I'm buying it.
