Dead Space Extraction: The original Dead Space game, released last year for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, received overwhelming positive reviews for it's dark theme and intense shooting action. But fans were a bit skeptical when a prequel was announced for the Wii - and were particularly harsh towards the fact that it is an on-rails shooter (meaning that you don't control your characters movement, and you move "on-rails"). However, these fans were proved wrong when more information was released, and many gaming news outlets got a hold of the game, and described it as the greatest light-gun game on the Wii!
The game's controls are quite simple - point the Wii remote at enemies to aim, twist the remote to activate your weapons secondary firing mode, and swing the Wii remote to perform a melee attack. The developers have promised that the game will include the darkness and horror of the original, so it will be interesting to see if this game is as successful as well.
Gladiator A.D.: A game that is clearly influenced on the movie 300 has got to be great, but there's more behind this game that makes it exciting. While it may seem like an epic RTS (real-time strategy) game at first glance, it is actually an intricate and violent fighting game. Not much has been revealed on this recently announced fighter, but we do know that the each of the gladiators in the game will have unique fighting styles, and the game will support Wii Motion Plus (a Wii remote extension that enables very accurate motion).
The game includes a large amount of gore, violence, and brutality - with the added bonus of promised finishers that are gorier than the rest of the game, which will hopefully be reminiscent of Mortal Kombat.
The Grinder: While a lot of Wii gamers enjoy the casual games that have flooded the console, many gamers are craving for an intense, dark shooter. That's where The Grinder comes in. Inspired by horror movies, the studio's own Hunter: The Reckoning, and the recent Left4Dead, this game has promised intense shooting battles against some of the most horrific creatures in history: zombies, werewolves, vampires, and more.
The game uses the new Quantum 3 engine, which allows for an incredible amount of characters on-screen at one time. This will hopefully lead to some exciting battles, in which you can co-operate online with friends to win. The game is made even better with the support of Wii Speak and Wii Motion Plus.
And those are just three of the many games that will be released in the upcoming season for Wii. Stay tuned for E3, where we will learn about dozens of new games set for release, and receive more information on these three titles!
