I’m the guy that buys every pay per view event, watches fights online, and wishes I was in better shape so I could start taking some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes (there is a Renzo Gracie training center where I live). So, being that I love the sport so much, it’s only natural that I gravitate to the video game incarnations. The UFC Undisputed games from THQ have taken the fighting world by storm, but EA is looking to capitalize on their strong brand by bringing an MMA game to market later this year. After telling Dana White that MMA isn’t a sport, they’ve changed their tune and now want to get in the cage. However, they don’t have the big name fighters stacked throughout their roster like the UFC. But that doesn’t mean they can’t make a kick ass game."
8CN: It's December 5, 2014 and, (for all you history nerds out there), that means it's officially been 81 years since Prohibition ended in the United States.

This week's Achievement HUNT, brings you Gavin vs. Geoff.

Ah, censorship, no matter how many times we patiently explain to our overlords that the surest way to spread an idea virally is to try and cover it up (And it goes double with things like video games), they just keep on keeping on with that iron fist.
"The list of games that various administrations have waged war against is massive, and it's usually because of objectionable levels of sex or violence. Then there are stranger reasons, and today we salute them."
