So, it’s cold outside. Like, really, really, ridiculously cold outside. It’s almost mind-boggingly cold, I’m pretty sure my lips froze this morning and are still in recovery mode which is making them feel all chapped and icky. (Side-note: Yes, I just used the word icky. Get of my skittles…) I know most of the country is going though mind-numbing temperatures, but I live in Atlanta, and was raised in Florida. We don’t do well with this type of weather. What the eff is with this crazy weather anyway? It’s rained a stupid amount the past couple months, was like 70 in Florida over Christmas, and now it’s so cold I want to punch someone in the head everytime I step outside. Al Gore really screwed up when he invented Global Warming. It’s a shame too since he struck gold inventing the internets…

You guys know the saying, “No news is good news.”? Well, that’s not always the truth. Take sequels for instance, not hearing about them is only good some of the time, mostly when it’s related to SimAnimals. But, not hearing anything about sequels for the underrated (yet somehow overrated at the same time) and ultra-violent games “Mad World” & “House of the Dead:Overkill” could be bad. In fact, they are bad. Just take a journey over to Kotaku and check the post that deals with not only these two titles, but “mature” games as a whole. According to SEGA, they probably won’t be doing “mature” titles for the Wii anymore, and they blame this on EA’s “Dead Space:Extraction”. Yes, “mature” games don’t always sell a copious amounts of copies, but the market is there, SEGA just failed miserably to market their games, and EA is guilty of the same with Dead Space. To be honest, I’m okay with not having Mad World 2 or another HOTD title, but for SEGA to basically throw in the towel on a whole market is a bit disappointing, which is troubling since that’s all the company seems capable of doing these days. Don’t believe me? The only decent title the company has released on the Wii is The Conduit. Yes, that was a sure-fire winner, and yes, I do hope they don’t pull the plug on a sequel for that. But SEGA is also responsible for Daisy Fuentes Pilates and the God-awful turn for the worse the Sonic series has taken this generation. Maybe the should develop, AND MARKET, top-notch “mature” titles and stop pumping out games that serve no purpose whatsoever. Since we won’t be seeing anymore of Jack and his mighty chainsaw in the near future, I’ll post a couple gameplay vids of the bloody glory that was Mad World. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.
