THQ and WWE agreed a few years ago to release two WWE games annually for the next few years. In 2009 we got Legends of Wrestlemania, WWE All Stars was released last year and this year WWE Brawl is due out. It appears another game based on the WWE Legends will be coming out in 2013.
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.
They need All-Stars 2, not a new Legends. All-Stars was the only good wrestling game they've released in soooooo long.
We need a wwe game like Here Comes The Pain! I dont care for the realism,i loved the crazy over the top wrestling! Like climbing into that helicopter and kicking someone in the face on ur way down.. Gold
It is unfortunately All Stars 2.
