Wii - Madden NFL 09  - Scoop: Brett Favre to Cover Madden NFL 09 While speculation might suggest Eli Manning or Adrian Peterson, EA has gone with longtime Packers star Brett Favre. The announcement is expected tonight on Letterman.

According to the Facebook site for Madden NFL 09, the cover athlete is expected to be announced on April 25. Moreover, a quick check of the CBS schedule for Late Show with David Letterman shows that Favre is going to appear as one of Dave's guests tonight (April 24).

Wii - Madden NFL 09  - User Controlled Celebrations to appear in Madden 09 Steve Wysowski from XboxFocus.com writes:

"Even though I hate the players that perform them (T.O., I'm looking at you) I have to admit, seeing a good TD celebration in an NFL game always brings a smile. Well for those love them like myself, you're in for a treat. According to the Gamespot blog, the upcoming Madden 2009, players will be able to control their players after touchdowns to create their own dance routines and celebration. While it's not much of an addition, and information hasn't been released in regards to the actual controls the feature will possess, it is something to look foward to. Let's hope Madden 2009 will bring improvements to the gameplay we really care about though: the game played on the field."

Wii - MadWorld - Parents horrified as most violent video game ever to launch on 'family friendly' Wii via Eurogamer:

"SEGA Wii game MadWorld will "spoil the family fun image" of the console, according to Mediawatch-UK, a British organisation that campaigns for decency in television, games and films.

"I hope the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will view this with concern and decide it should not be granted a classification," John Beyer, director of Mediawatch-UK, told the Mail Online.

"What the rest of world does is up to them. We need to ensure that modern and civilised values take priority rather than killing and maiming people.

"It seems a shame that the game's manufacturer have decided to exclusively release this game on the Wii," said Beyer. "I believe it will spoil the family fun image of the Wii.""

Wii - MadWorld - New blood-drenched MadWorld screens

Ripping people's hearts out, cutting blokes in half with a chainsaw - that's what's going down in these gory new MadWorld screens, and we like it.

That pretty much sums up the whole game. You play as Jack, the man with the chainsaw arm, and you brutalize people in the most horrific ways. Sega called it "comical violence" in a press unveiling, so somehow that makes it okay for Nintendo's family-friendly ...

Wii - MadWorld - MadWorld dev: Wii Director of upcoming gore-fest from SEGA and Platinum games details why such a game is a good fit for Wii.

At SEGA's showcase event for its four-game deal with Platinum Games (the studio formerly known as Seeds, created by ex-Clover Studio staff) Mad World director Shigenori Nishikawa revealed why the decision was made to develop such a violent game for Nintendo's family-oriented console.

"We felt that the Wii Marketplace had too many of the same type of games - there was something missing in the line-up," stated Nishikawa. "That's why we created such a game as Mad World."
