Vanquish does look pretty good. (Never knew about it until now).
Nothing really wrong with Madworld either.
You should give Vanquish a try, imho the best game PG did so far. Bayonetta is gr8 and a lot of fun to play, but Vanquish was just thrilling in every way, well in every way besides the story ^^ The story is actually a pretty decent parody of all the "gruff-marine-guy-saving-the-world"-videogame tropes, but most people didn't get that unfortunately, and in the end it still fails to carry the game (like in every other PG game basically). Anyways, the gameplay is perfect, extremly fast paced an varied combat, yet precise and deliberate at all times, with amazing setpieces and grinding difficutly. Also, it's one of those famous easy to learn, hard to master systems. Best of all it got actual gameplay systems in place, that you can learn and master, how many TPS (3rd-person-shooter) games can say that?
I never felt Vanquished's story was parody as much as extreme homage with the occasional self-awareness of how far they're pushing the trope. Sometimes that works out great, but in this case, it just made it feel like every action movie ever made...
