   To me, Mad World looks like an attempt to catch the GTA demographic, with more brutality, style and violence. I know the makers also want to make it comedic as well, but the game looks boring to me. However, I could be(and have been) dreadfully wrong....the black, white and red colors do nothing for me, as well, and I don't really see how it's "ballsy" that they did that. I'm still more interested in Little Big Planet.

What BOB said. I don't get why Mad World is so stunning, aside from "omg, violence on Nintendo wtf." Gameplay didn't look all that great.

The Sin and Punishment 2 stuff that is floating around the web looks awesome!!! Finally a Wii game to really look forward to!

I feel like Johnny Raincloud for saying this but when I saw the Sin & Punishment 2 trailer I was like, "Noooooooooooooooooo!"
I'm all for a sequel to that game but the original was so slick and stylish and had that undeniably Treasure feel. The new one looks like it was cobbled together from interns' college portfolios. No style, none of the rhythm that the original game had, the only common element is the rails.

I like the Ikaruga-esque style it has. And I think the rhythm can not really be judged from the supershort clips that are shown in the video. The original was more colourful, that's for sure.

A neat lens effect that makes things look miniature. Thought it was really neat so I wanted to share it.

The effect can also be achieved with a photoshop filter quite easily, I made the first image and here's another that I made.
