by Fletch on 18 November 2008 This month see's the release of the most anticipated video game in wrestling history as WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2009 comes to PS3, 360, PS2, PSP, Wii and the DS...phew, what a mouthful. As we're all settling down in front of our consoles to get ready to lay the Smacketh Down, we're still hard at work, bringing you an exclusive interview THQ's Top Brass; Bryan Williams, creative manager and Dan Ryan, associate creative manager about the new game...

by Fletch on 23 September 2008 3 Years ago, we learnt that Total Nonstop Action Wrestling were starting to produce their own video game, much like WWE have been doing since time can remember. With over 3 years of development going into this inaugural title, and the assistance of avid gaming fans and TNA Superstars such as Samoa Joe and The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles; this game cannot possibly even contemplate failure. Can it?

by Clarkey on 14 November 2007 Last year those that choose to take the 360 route into this generation of gaming got their first taste of the Smackdown Vs Raw franchise, bringing with it the salivating prospect of Xbox Live frolics, shiny new graphics and a new gaming engine to move the series forward and to set a marker for the future of the series...

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 31 May 2007 I've given you my own top ten titles, so now its time for the reader's own picks. So without further ado, but with great fanfare I present to you their top ten...

by Clarkey on 5 May 2007 The final five, so let the drum roll begin...

by Clarkey on 25 April 2007 We have been graced with videogames now for what seems like an eternity, and graced in this meantime with a vast amount of wrestling titles. Some good; some not so good and then there is the downright awful. There have been cash in franchises, like the ill fated Simpson’s Wrestling title, and there are also been those that reached their demise before their release such as AKI’s planned WCW title on the N64. With all these titles available though, which is the top dog? Which is the title to be reckoned with, and the title that will have the longest shelf life beyond what happens in the real life-wrestling world?

by Clarkey on 2 January 2007 The word definitive is bandied around a great deal at this time of year. On Christmas Day I’m sure many excitedly unwrapped their gifts, eagerly awaiting their copy of a definitive Cliff Richard collection after just finishing listening to Slade on their definitive Christmas hits collection. But when a title such as Total Extreme Wrestling rears its head for another outing, it would not be out of place to utilise the word again. Admittedly it is in a field of it’s own, but to knock Grey Dog Software’s efforts because of a lack of a rival in the same mould is sheer laziness from the uninitiated. ..

by Clarkey on 1 December 2006 Halloween has passed, and with Christmas fast approaching one would hope there’d be a whole range of titles hitting our shelves to keep us entertained, or to be eagerly waiting to unwrap on Christmas morning. One quick gander around and we have one title and one title only in Smackdown Vs Raw 2007, and by the time you’ll be reading this (I can still maintain that false hope people read articles with my name at the bottom) you will have no doubt been squeezing every last bit of fun to be had out of the title. So for this months article it’s pretty much a scrape the barrel edition, but there has been one key story that has broken out that could combust the whole wrestling games world as we speak; a monumental tale that could knock you off of the back of your chair in shock...

by Clarkey on 25 November 2006 Wrestling fans that chose to follow the Microsoft path in the past generation were pretty much hamstrung from the starting line. The Raw titles did not live up to the hype built, with the original Raw lacking a story mode being particularly gutting. Wrestlemania 21 being released filled with more bugs than there will be consumed in the latest “I’m A Celebrity” affair did it and the Xbox owners no favours. But I have always been of the feeling that if someone was to take the good aspects of the previous Xbox titles, we would lead to something that could very well challenge the likes of the Days of Reckoning titles on the shamefully neglected Gamecube, and a certain Smackdown series on the Playstation...
