Violent Wii Games Woo Hard Core Gamers

SAN FRANCISCO -- Several new Wii games let you club zombies, shoot aliens and go to war.

On today's episode of Game|Life the Video, Capcom, Activision and High Voltage show off the awesome and violent Wii titles they brought to Nintendo's recent game preview event here.

In Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, you'll use the Wiimote for "wholesale destruction of undead enemies," according to Capcom.

High Voltage's sci-fi-influenced The Conduit drops you, weapons hot, into an alien invasion, while Call of Duty: World at War takes you back to World War II.

Nintendo's still going after casual game fans and all their casual money, to be sure, but titles like these should interest hard-core gamers, too. Check out the gameplay and see for yourself.

As always, if you're having trouble viewing the embedded video above, this week's episode of Game|Life the Video is also available on Wired.com's YouTube channel and on iTunes.
