I would also be lying if I said that I didn't have more fun in the first few hours than I ever did in a SmackDown game. It is simply a newcomer's game. If you aren't too familiar with wrestling games or were too intimidated by what is currently available, then Legends of WrestleMania is a great place to start. Slowly working your way through classic matches is a ton of fun and my favorite part are all of the video packages that summarize some of the greatest feuds in WWE's history. If you find yourself torn between Legends of WrestleMania and SmackDown, I say go for Legends because big, dumb fun trumps being frustrated and confused any day of the week".
The HITC Tech team write about what they're playing this weekend, including XCOM: Enemy Unknow, Banished, and L.A. Noire.
Christopher Buffa (Prima Games): News of Ultimate Warrior Jim Hellwig’s death left millions of wrestling fans, including myself, in shock. I never knew the man, but I loved the character. His electric entrance, running to the ring full blast and shaking the ropes, was adrenaline personified, while the outfit (multicolored face paint, neon tassels, different colored straps for his title belts) embodied the 90s. Critics often remark that his promos were illogical, but to kids, they made perfect sense. Fill the spaceship with rocket fuel? Trampled by elephants? Might as well be Shakespeare to a nine-year-old.
Despite what Wee Jimmy Krankie and the agony aunt section of men’s magazines might say to the contrary, size matters loads. Just ask any of these hulking goliaths. While some giants in popular culture are more concerned with shilling you canned sweetcorn than grinding your bones to make a wholemeal loaf, PlayStation’s gargantuan folk just want to trample, scoff or suplex you. Regardless of whether it’s a fallen god scrapping with his football field-sized granddad or a Skyrim beanpole who can mess you up more than any lag, none of these brutes exactly scream BFG.
