Gaming news 3/4/09 and madworld

Hey guys, last night i bit the bullet and bought Mad world on Nintendo WII for what i thought was a fairly modest price of £25.So i rock on back home with my purchase not knowing weather it was a big waste of time and money. dont get me wrong i always knew the idea on the game would appeal to me but i have always been sceptical of its control system, i thought it was going to be complex and spoil the game. However as strange as it does feel at first after the opening level control do become more intuitive anyway i will review this at a later date, and for those who are interested a game trailer is below.

Screenshots for Barsh entertainment/Konami's  forth coming Saw:the video game have been released. For those who don't know Saw: the video game was some what skecthy after Brash entertainments untimely death but has now been picked up by the kind guys at Konami. 

Rumors coming from around the source, suggest that Lionsgate have struck a deal with Konami (the rights reverted back to lionsgate when brash breached its contract,as lionsgate hold the rights to the films.)

The game is still rumored to be on schedule for its October 2009 release date, this is to coincide with the realise of Saw VI film, although nothing has been said if it is a worldwide release or region specific.

You will therefore not be surprised to here that the whoisjigsaw.com website is no longer running as it was part of the old "brash" regime.

Labeled as "Heart pounding action" by PlayStation.com this surely must be the pick of this weeks Ps store items, with a pain and every body's golf game packs really being the only other items of note.

theres not much noise coming out of Xbox live other than the mansions game/experience that they are working on with popcap.

Where as lastly, but by no means least, nintendo.com's news is all about the release of several titles on there virtual console service, with The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask the strange and quirky but supposedly fun and enjoyable sequel to the N64's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Nintendo describe it as "Link must wield the power of several magical masks to save the land from destruction – and he has only 72 hours to do it!
