Destructoid writes: If you think you have what it takes to oil up your virtual superstar and step into the squared-circle with other oiled up virtual superstars, you're in for a treat. THQ has announced that a GameStop sponsored WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 tournament, that will have the winner scoring a pair of floor tickets to WrestleMania 24.
This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending December 3rd, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart. This week's top five all-platform requests show little movement once again, after last week saw the list barely ruffled. Assassin's Creed still takes the top spot for a third week with Mass Effect in second for its second week in a row. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which spent the last two weeks at number four, slips a bit to the fourth spot to make room for Kane and Lynch: Dead Men to move up one spot into the fourth spot, but that's the only movement -- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune stays at number five, where it entered last week.
