When it comes to games on the Nintendo Wii, the number of truly good survival-horrors is not satisfying. Even then, some such as Alone in the Dark were not greeted well by game reviewers.

So, the award for the best horror game for Nintendo Wii is still unclaimed, but the situation might change with the upcoming survival-horror called Sadness. This adventure horror game with survival elements has many things going for it to impress us.

Unlike many other horror games, Sadness is not going to shock you with monsters jumping out on you from every corner. Instead, everything is much deeper. Developers focused on creating an atmosphere which is frightening even without any monsters. To add even more fear into the mix, they are making it in black and white.

As far as I know this element will be used in games for the first time which might set Sadness apart from others. Here’s what The Elderly Gamer reports.

Billed as a game for adults only, with strong nerves, you’ll be using the power of your wii-mote in pretty innovative ways, driving away swarms of rats, using a rope to lassoo and climb a wall, slashing a persecutor with a jagged piece of glass.

QJ.NET reports some interesting details as well.

More importantly, they’re planning to pull out all the stops for dramatic effect. In addition to getting voice acting onboard as part of the game’s initiative, they’ll also be working with an orchestra to get the most effect out of the game’s story.

One of the most disappointing things about the game is its release date — Autumn 2009.

Red Fly Studio will bring us an interesting action-adventure game called Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars in October. Targeted platforms are only the Nintendo Wii and DS.

The game starts with a mysterious asteroid hitting earth and affecting all living creatures and some plant life, especially mushrooms. As a result, four types of mushrooms emerge — two are bad guys and other two are good. Playing as a warrior mushroom, the player will face challenges from all types of other mushrooms. Each has its own weapons, fighting skills and even clothes.

Here’s what SpawnPoint reports.

In addition to the Mushroom Men, several other plants and animals have been affected similarly by the comet. While initially neutral and independent, they eventually team up with one side or the other.

GoNintendo reports more details.

The Wii version of the game picks up where the DS leaves off. The Spore Wars rage fully across the miniature landscape. The societies have advanced to a point where theology and metaphysical pursuits have developed.

Every hardcore gamer will agree that the two main aspects of Nintendo Wii games which need improvement are graphics and more mature games like the upcoming Stars Wars: Unleashed. The good news is that High Voltage Software developing company is trying to satisfy both demands with one game, The Conduit.

The Conduit is being developed exclusively for Nintendo Wii and promises to impress us with its graphics. Until the first trailer was available it was hard to believe that many companies could overcome the limitations of the Wii hardware, but The Conduit might just yet sport the best graphics available on the console to date.

Here’s what IGN reports.

What is perhaps more intriguing is that High Voltage has built a custom engine designed to really push the Wii hardware’s graphic capabilities. The game-maker’s “Quantum3″ game engine brings polish to The Conduit by way of a “full 16-TEV stage material pipeline using up to eight texture sources and a host of innovative blend operations.”

The Conduit is a first person-shooter like Halo and Medal Of Honor where players explore various different out-door locations and will mostly fight against aliens. Based on the video that demonstrates gameplay it’s obvious that game is full of action. Another interesting thing about The Conduit is that there is no publisher yet.

That VideoGame Blog found out the reason for that during an interview with the game’s developer.

We’re in talks with a number of publishers. We’ve been approached by a lot of publishers. We’re taking it slow. That seems to be a concern on a lot of forums, that this is bad but it’s really not the case. We know there are a lot of publishers who want The Conduit and we want to make sure it’s a great partnership in the true sense of the word partnership, not just motivated by a strictly financial or gameplay thing but a meld of many criteria.

Many games coming out this year such as Iron Man and Wall-E are based on movies. Another one is Igor which will be released for PC, Wii and DS. Following the storyline of the film, the game revolves around an evil scientist whose dream is to rise to the top of the city.

The Nintendo Wii version will allow players to choose from one of four characters who can explore the city and fight enemies before reaching the final target — the Evil Science Fair. Igor is being developed by the Legacy Interactive and Gamasutra reports what the company’s president, Ariella Lehrer, says about the game.

With Igor, we set forth to capture the unique mix of dark, yet playful aspects seen in the movie. It’s a great game that can be enjoyed with both friends and family and will appeal to a younger audience as well.

GameZone reports some details about the DS version.

The Nintendo DS version utilizes the stylus to perform movement combinations, combat enemies and solve puzzles. Players can custom build their own monsters to take on puzzle challenges and battle against other mad scientists.
