Downhome

Why exactly do they have the sound of an airplane nosediving at the start of The Sheik's music? I mean...really.

It's almost as if they're pretending that Carlito's career before tonight never happened, and this is his real debut. Whatever is going on, I like it so far.

I went ahead and picked up my pre-order at GameStop. I got a bonus DVD with about 90 minutes of matches, most are Ultimate/Elevation X matches, and inside the game itself is another DVD with three matches and 10 minutes of behind the scenes on the making of the game. So far I've played three basic matches as Sting against Booker T just to get the hang of the controls, and I'm actually enjoying it so far. I love the animations and the feel of all of the moves. It just looks and feels so fluid and hard hitting, much better than SD for the most part. As for the controls, they're a little weird and yes you are limited, but I knew that going in. The reversal system is great though, as there seems to be a reversal for just about every move in the game that I've seen so far. It's a nice change of pace from the SDvsRAW games, but I could see strict fans of that series not being able to get into this game. It's been said before, but what you have here is the start of what could become a great series. The biggest flaws so far seem to be how limited you are, both in terms of the number of moves in the game, and all of the various options we are used to in wrestling games. The graphics are just awesome, I love the visuals.

360 - 6.7 PS3 - 6.4

I don't watch much MMA, but the entire Brock Lesnar thing has me slightly more interested in it so I decided to check this fight out this morning. Wow, one of my favorite finishes to a fight that I've seen yet:

Turn to Spike really quick if you're online right now. It's a GT special on this game with lots of clips and info.

From PWI:

So Foley is making his TNA debut tonight in Long Island, NY. Did anybody from the site go to that show?

Here is a 15 minute long video of a 4-way match: http://gamingring.com/news/?p=2893

I had been a member of TL for a long time, but found out tonight my account was deactivated because of lack of activity (40 days now I believe). If you can shoot an invite my way just send me a PM and let me know, thanks.

How can you not love this?

How in bloody hell do you not put in the ax kick, ankle lock, or the scorpion deathlock? I mean...really now.

I can't wrap my head around the fact that f'n SPANKY is going to be in a world title match at the next WWE PPV.

I can't believe all of that bullshit from before is true.

I'm not going to do it, but if you want the 360 version then buy it for the PS3 at Target on sale and then run over to WalMart and exchange it.

Woohoo! I got the Madden '09 CE at Target earlier today for just $44.xx on clearance already.

When one of your announcers says the following about the rules of an upcoming match: "I'm a little confused after that explanation." - Lawler Then something is wrong.

The latest from PWI: I really hope the guy will be ok.

I can't believe how much I'm into this new "The" Brian Kendrick.

It was a really hot opener if you ask me. It wasn't a match of the year or anything like that of course, but it was a lot of fun. I think Matt Striker is doing a great job in his new position.

Son of a bitch I love this little ECW show, heh.

I really hope WWE doesn't wish Paul Burchill the best in his future endeavors today.

D'oh. Sorry, been MIA for the most part for a couple weeks now.
