Once again, I’ll be looking at both the Wii and DS versions of Call of Duty: World at War together while also showing the unique aspects for each platform.

Call of Duty: World at War is the follow-up to the very popular Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. CoD4 didn’t grace the Wii, but there was a DS version that was actually a lot of fun. World at War (WaW) is definitely not CoD4 which most people will find as a disappointment, but if you take the game by itself, it really isn’t that bad.

The game starts you off in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. You have to fight your way across various islands against the Japanese. WaW really tries to emphasize the brutality of war and you’ll notice this fact from the very first cutscene, which you find you and your friends being tortured in a small hut. Throughout the game you’ll witness some pretty crazy stuff from lighting guys on fire with flame-throwers and hearing their agony, to also fighting for your life in close-quarter combat, which earns the game an M rating versus the usual T rating. While the developers were criticized for revisiting the WWII setting again, WaW does offer all new campaigns and even some new gameplay mechanics.

Not sure why I am posting this? Maybe it freaks me out, maybe I think its funny, or maybe I like it. Who knows?

EDISON, N.J., January 14, 2009 – Straight from race-track to handheld, Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL) today released brand new action-packed screenshots from its upcoming street-racing title Powerbike for Nintendo DS™. Developed by Tornado Studios, Powerbike is a high-adrenaline motorcycle racing game that features death-defying stunts, intense police chases and competitive multiplayer modes.

Filled with eight challenging courses and three race modes, players are thrown into the perilous world of street racing where the only chance of survival is to kick the clutch. Earning cash comes at a price as racers must soar over speeding semis, pop wheelies between police cruisers and perform drifts through hoards of traffic in the death-defying Stunt Mode. With money in hand, players can customize their bike’s speed, acceleration, traction and stability, then challenge other racers via local DS multiplayer in Race Mode.

Release Date: March
Genre: Racing
Platform: Nintendo Wii
Rating: PEGI 3+
Developer: Milestone
Price: TBC

Game Description:
The first officially licensed MotoGP title ever for the Nintendo Wii platform, MotoGP turns the Wii remote into a virtual set of handlebars to deliver the definitive two-wheeled racing experience.
The development team’s overriding aim is to deliver an unparalleled handling model that allows access points for gamers of all skill levels and just as importantly provide a challenge to meet each player’s abilities.

ALL 3 MOTOGP CLASSES
MotoGP for Wii puts the player at the centre of the world’s premier motorcycling championship by letting them join a team and compete alongside their sporting heroes in all three race classes – 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP. Recent MotoGP titles had excluded 125cc and 250cc at a cost and Capcom is keen to ensure that all the riders are faithfully represented, which also enables complete progression through the ranks as well as giving the gamer a different racing experience per class. The game features a scaled and competitive AI which adjusts within limits to give a more enjoyable race experience on the lower levels but shows no mercy in the higher levels.
