Sega hasn't had the easiest time lately. Its parent company, Sega Sammy Holdings, is laying off 560 people - 18 percent of its work force - and is closing 110 arcades in Japan. But the company says it has a strategy to distinguish itself as a smaller publisher among the industry's giants.
One of the main pillars of this plan is Mad World, a comic-style black-and-white game with lots of red blood. Rated M for mature (17 and up), the title is slated to debut for the Nintendo Wii next month. And it certainly has a unique look and feel. The only time you see color during game play is when you're cutting a bad guy in half with a chainsaw or crushing someone under an iron plate. This seems like an odd mismatch for the child-oriented Wii and already has some anti-violence groups upset.
Beneath all the Smash and shovelware, the Wii really did have quite a few gems.
Not a bad list.. I would add Excitebots, Kororinpa 1 & 2, Bit.Trip series, Geometry Wars: galaxies
