24th February 2010 - This time last year, the crazy kids at SEGA Australia pulled out a whiteboard, wrote some words on it, head-butted some brick walls, wrote some more words... and came up with The Bang Bang Box!!! To mark the anniversary of this epic day, those same special minds have created a new box-o-fun. A trigger-tapping triple-barrel terrorfest, we like to call WELCOME TO VIOLENCE. This pack features three of the most controversial adult games available on the Wii - Madworld, The Conduit and The House of the Dead: OVERKILL - for only $109.95!! Available on the 11th March 2010.

WELCOME TO VIOLENCE details:

Survival horror as it's never been seen before! A pulp-style take on the classic SEGA light-gun shoot 'em up series. The House of the Dead: OVERKILL charges you with mowing down waves of infected, blood-thirsty zombies in a last-ditch effort to survive. With a whopping 189 uses of the f-word, OVERKILL is the current Guinness World Record holder for "Most Swearing in a Video Game".

MADWORLD has a unique black and white style, that straddles graphic novels and 3D worlds. Players must master the use of various weapons and items found within their environment, such as chainsaws and street signs. With its irreverent humour and over-the-top violence, MADWORLD delivers a unique core gaming experience not often found on the Wii system.

The Conduit is a fast-paced action First Person Shooter (FPS) set in the near-future of a fictional America. Players battle enemy forces in a highly detailed 3D world using a dynamic control scheme only possible on the Wii.

For "only" $109.95 ?! I think each of those games can be found extremely cheap nowadays, so even if you combine their prices it will be less than $109.95.

Wow, how expensive!

Conduit is worth 1 dollar.

It is a good idea to bundle them for that price I think, even though most places have them for $15.

However, I would only recommend The House of the Dead Overkill.

Its funny because The Conduit was obviously put in there because they had nothing better to throw in.

I put the news on the front page. I also thought I should point out this is a Sega Australia bundle, that price of $109 is really great for three games
New Wii games are usually around $100 at major retailers, and they are selling those particular games for between $50 and $80 brand new.

It is easy to forget that Australians are often fucked. Its nice to live in America sometimes.

Once again, please note, this is Sega AUSTRALIA, and that is AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS.

$109 is usually what you pay for one new Wii game over here, each of those games are being sold seperately for around $50 to $80 new. It's a good price!

i know but even though
109.00 AUD = 96.6616 USD

still expensive in my opinion , except if the pricing range in Australia is usually higher than anywhere else

Now this is an awesome collection of Wii games.

How is this good?

The Conduit is a shitty online FPS that cannot compare to things on PC/HD-Consoles. I guess I can see how people like the other games, but they are old and not too expensive to get separately.

Post by: jonboy101 on February 24, 2010, 12:45:31 pm
In Austrailia they still apparently cost about 50 to 80 dollars each.

Post by: crackdude on February 24, 2010, 12:47:15 pm
Three great games, a nice price.. How is it not good?

And the Conduit is the best you'll get on the Wii as far as FPS are concerned.

I certainly did point it out

The price for the compilation is only AUD $109.95, a very nice price considering that major retailers are selling the individual games for between $50 and $80 each! If you don’t have these games yet, now is a great time to check them out!

I don't know why everyone missed that.


Also, the Conduit isn't nearly as bad as everyone here makes it out to be, and it was reviewed better than Sonic Unleashed.  :afroman:

What remains to be seen is if this package will remain exclusive to Australia. I recall that australia was the first to unveil the HOTDOK Bang Bang box before it eventually got released in the Japan and the other markets. I doubt this will be released in japan but I can see this getting some limited release in america and the UK.

Why did you hate conduit so much? It wasn't particularly good, but there was nothing particularly bad about it either. The story was dull as dishwater and it wasn't particularly innovative, but the controls and gameplay was solid. The multiplayer was apparantly a lot of fun too.

I agree Sonic Unleashed was better, but that game had some severe faults as well.

Story, bad. Music, bad. Art design, bad. Graphics, bad (why High Voltage called them "HD quality" is beyond me). Level design, horrendous. With so much bad, there is no gameplay that can save a game. And to be honest I didn't find it that good, just regular.

Yeah, it sucks. Sonic Unleashed had daytime levels though!  :lol:

I personally found the level design to be fine. The environments were a bit dull, but the actual layout and enemy/weapon placement was good I thought. I don't remember the music, but I think the graphics were fine/good for a Wii game.

Wow, really? Pretty much every level I played before almost nearly puking (true story, that game gave me head aches) was a corridor. Go forward, be forced to turn either left or right, repeat. That was about it, save for the occasional side room or open environment.

Halo games have open environments, in many cases you can fight off enemy forces from different angles, nothing like The Conduit...  :|

Post by: MadeManG74 on February 27, 2010, 10:12:14 pm
Yeah it was nothing like Halo, and it did use lots of corridors, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It was a more claustrophobic style game than Halo or COD.
Title: Re: Sega announce WELCOME TO VIOLENCE package for Wii
Post by: crackdude on February 28, 2010, 04:41:03 pm
FEAR uses corridors. It's a great game.. Nothing wrong with that.

I have not tried The Conduit yet. But I've seen a lot of gameplay, and I think it's nice overall. Has a "videogame feeling" into it rather than trying to be a movie.

No it isnt... at all. Possibly the first Halo... but everything else? no. Even the first halo had some wide open areas.

Do yourself a favour and remove your lips from Nintendos arsehole for a while... Totally sick of seeing your obvious Nintendo damage control posts both here and at Sega of America.

It would be fine if any of them made sense...
