I thought this movie was fantastic.  Its rare to see such moral ambiguity in such a big movie.  One of the best super hero movies I've ever see, easily.

While most of the critics have panned it, at least MovieBob agrees with me.

Greg (or KDR) does/would the same issues arise at 480p?

Madworld does not support 480p even for the North American version as NinGurl points out. Basically if you have the NTSC game it's 480i only, and if you have the PAL game it's 576i only with borders and 50hz speed.

Rest assured we will look into this and then formulate an appropriate response.

NWR Scoop FTW!!!

PAL gamers beware: Madworld does not support 60hz display here, and so runs only in black borders and at slower speed (about 83% of the game's original NTSC speed).

And so, I have officially wasted my money - I won't play it like this. None of the PAL review sites picked up on this issue, I guess they must've been playing the US version and just assumed that Sega/Platinum weren't living in the 1990s.

Here is a visual  on what Greg is talking about

As bad as those boarders are, its the slow speed that would REALLY piss me off, any footage of that?

I declare that you must bust this story wide open.  Use your journalistic powers to fight for the benefit of all PAL countries.

 Post some big scathing article on the main NWR site and email Sega about the issue. That issue should really never happen. Honestly game companies should just give up on Europe if they won't even put effort into making the games work in your region.

Do it!!  It'll bring some great traffic to the site too, really dig your CLAWS into them!!!

Wow, those reviewers really dropped the ball, its definitely in their job description to catch BS like this.  Sorry to hear that Greg, that really sucks.

Amazon is holding an Easter sale on Wii titles a lot of them are 29.99 or less Here's a list of titles 29.99 or less

Amazon Easter Wii Games Sale
To celebrate Easter, Amazon is having a sale on Wii games. Makes sense to me.

I was just trying to include the whole list, thats all.  I couldn't understand why Flames passed on The Spiderwick Chronicles.

If you rent this game instead of buying it, you are EVIL and part of the problem. You will make Kairon cry as well.

Meh.  I already bought VJ 1 and 2.  They'll be fine.  I'm not paying 50 bones for 5 hours.  Thats 10 bux an hour.

I totally don't agree with that sentiment.  You can beat many fantastic games in 5 hours and they're all worth at least $50 because of replayability.  And I can already tell I'll be replaying MadWorld quite a few times. 

Not to mention it has a multiplayer mode to mess around in.

Isn't all of the multiplayer off-line?  I don't have any friends in reality up for this kind of masochism.

Anyone able to rent this?

I'll make a point of checking my Hollywood video when I go out tonight. Portland is pretty big so if this place doesn't carry it that doesn't bode well for a lot of places.

Groovy. 

I'm pretty shocked the Blockbuster's in Denver aren't carrying it.  Looks like they opted for Coraline instead.

the Hollywood video I checked had a display box on the shelf but no actual copies in stock. I don't know how many they ordered though, could have been one or twenty for all I know.

Cool, I'll give me local one a ring

Anyone been able to find this at Blockbuster yet?  All 3 stores in my area said they have no plans to carry this title.  WTF?

I thought the interview was pretty good, but not as epic as what I'd hoped for.  His ambush grilling of Tucker on Crossfire still holds the belt.

Amazon's VG DotD is Exit DS for $9.98.

Yeah, I was tempted to get it.  It looks cool but reviews are all over the place.  Anyone here played it?

Yesterday was the last day for the store near me.  All they had were a bunch of random cables and remotes from floor displays.
