Viewtiful Joe is the cartoon superhero game - it's some sort of side scrolling beat 'em up, but better than it sounds because the action kind of branches off. It looks hella cool, all teh characters are kind of small with biggish heads - not deformed, you understand, but a cartoon style. And it's the best example of cel-shading I have ever seen. It's just how it should be - so you don't notice straight away.
PN03 also looks absolutely brilliant. It's all laser gun action with amazing acrobatic stunts and doging maneouvres - expect to be able to do some pretty amazing stuff in this game. Rather than cartoon style it is a realistic game, with the main character being some sort of gun wielding biatch.
I'd highly advise you to download both videos if at all possible - if you don't have much space then just delete them straight afterwards, because these videos will change your life*. They've certainly impressed me and made me a lot more excited about them. I'll probably pre-order them next time I get the chance, although I'm not sure you can yet.

At least someone else is finally taking an interest!
Except you failed to mention Killer 7 is quite clearly the best.
All of them look superb, with PN03 looking to be my fav. Kller 7, Viewtiful Joe and Dead Phoenix all look cool.
Excellent.
:D
Doesn't mean we aren't good friends :D

Is? Don't you mean will be? Anyway, I watched the video and it looked utter pap. I had to turn away several times because the graphics are excrutiatingly awkward. I know graphics don't make a game, but I know I couldn't stand to play a whole game's worth of it. So I won't be buying it. Probably.
And Dead Phoenix looks quite good too, although I haven't had chance to watch any videos of it. I'm expecting good things, though.
WS will not be happy at that.
PNO3 looks the best. For me.
They all look quality.
and
pish
Killer 7 looks the best by a hell of a long way, it's a noir looking/assinastion/police investigation type game.
And it has rocking cell shaded graphics.
Cell shading and killing works so damn well.
RAHHHHH
