by Clarkey on 26 October 2007 It’s coming up to that time of year again. That time when the shops get all their Christmas decorations ready before Halloween products have even hit the shelves. That time when the lists start to get written and the eagerly awaited top titles enter the fold in the hope of finding a spot under your tree. Again this marks the time in which another set of the EA Sport’s catalogue’s collection of updates hit the stores, alongside their rivals from 2K Games and a certain title from the infamous Konami wizard Seabass...

by Clarkey on 7 November 2006 As the clock ticks away until the anticipated next instalment in THQ and Yuke’s WWE Smackdown series, the time beckons to have a gander at what the title has to offer and become immersed with the hype greeting its forthcoming release next week...

by Russ on 4 June 2006 I was pleased to see the original Wrestling Spirit do well, due to the fact that I liked the approach the game took. You took control of a wrestler and took part in matches which required thought and strategy to come out on top. There aren’t many wrestling games available which could compete with WreSpi’s innovation. It had more action than it’s sister-game Total Extreme Wrestling, but still had the addictiveness and playability that’s always going to impress...

by Russ on 24 September 2005 I’m pretty disillusioned with the current state of wrestling games. I realise that there are several factors which can’t be helped which have contributed to the fact that there aren’t many groundbreaking games out there, such as the lack of well known promotions needed to release games, and the fact that wrestling isn’t quite as mainstream as it was six or seven years ago meaning that developers are less likely to take a risk and create a wrestling game. However, a lot of the blame does need to go to the developers. It seems to be that every game is nothing more than a rehash of a previous year’s effort, with a new cosmetic feature and a slightly updated roster. It’s not a great time to be a wrestling fan, as some systems barely have a handful of wrestling titles available...

by Russ on 2 August 2003 It’s that time of the year again when Yukes decide to crank out the Smackdown licence, steal another one of The Rock’s catchphrases and make themselves a game. The 4th one of the series now, Shut Your Mouth (Catchy name, no?) is looking to promise more modes, more features and improved gameplay. After the disappointment that was Just Bring It, the game is set to includes quite a few new changes.

by Dan on 29 July 2003 As the world waits for the first WWF title to hit the Sony Playstation 2, we have decided to give you a sneak preview in this report. Over the past few years we have seen THQ take the WWF contract from Acclaim, and in turn this has lead to THQ changing the face of WWF gaming forever. When both Smackdown 1 and 2 were released they hit the Sony Playstation big time, and kept on doing good in the Playstation charts for some time. But as we embark on the release of what has to be the most anticipated video gaming squeal of the year, one has to wonder will competition from both the X-Box and the Game Cube slow down the Playstaion 2 and damage the legacy of THQ’s WWF Smackdown series?

by Dan on 26 July 2003 The people at THQ have done it once again, after the brilliant success of WWF No Mercy and WWF Smackdown 2 a new series of games are set to be released in the next year. Out of all the games I am going to review WWF RAW is WAR on the new X-BOX first.
