The boys are back, shinier on the outside... but much the same underneath

Nov 13, 2007

Nov 13, 2007 It seems that when we previewed WWE SvR we overestimated the role that the new fighting styles would play. To recap, each wrestler specialises in two of eight grappling techniques - Brawler, Powerhouse, Technical, Showman, Submission Expert, Dirty and Hardcore - and the theory is that you use each style's strengths tactically against your opponent. So, for instance, Powerhouses like Batista can go on short-lived unstoppable rampages, Dirty fighters like Edge can jab their rivals ...

It's High Flyers versus Brawlers in the roughest man-tights beat down yet

Sep 17, 2007

Sep 17, 2007 In the real world, an ass-kicking is an ass-kicking. It doesn't matter if the other guy is a street brawling gang banger, your martial artist dorm buddy, the bully on the playground, or the girl scout from down the street - the fundamental problem is someone is pounding their knuckles into your face and stomping on your spleen. As such, any further details are ultimately inconsequential. In the world of professional wrestling, however, the fight is largely secondary to the show. ... » Read Full WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 preview

WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 - more hands-on

Set to get wrestling back to the top

Jul 18, 2007

That the SmackDown games have become stale in recent years is undeniable. The last couple felt particularly bogged down with samey-feeling characters, an ill-conceived stamina system and, in last year's outing especially, bafflingly idiotic AI - which Lead Programmer Reiji Sato went so far as to apologize to us for. The series couldn't even think about entering the next generation without a kick up the ass. The good news is that it just might have got one. You might have read about the eight ... » Read Full WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 preview

Grapple with the new king of the ring

Jul 6, 2007

"Recently I was playing against someone and he was fighting like Stone Cold Steve Austin," says Taku Chihaya, director of the new SmackDown!, "Not because of the character, but just because he never stopped. He was going crazy." This is what SmackDown's all about. It's not about the wrestlers just looking like the real thing - although they do, right down to the Sandman's grimace and Lashley's terrifying biceps - it's about them feeling like the real thing. It's about Rey Mysterio bouncing ... » Read Full WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 preview

May 11, 2007

Gradually, the WWE games review scores have, like a greasy tortoise, been slipping slowly downhill - due mainly to the fact that theyve started to feel the same, year in, year out. We want this decline to be arrested and SmackDown! 2008, the series PS3 debut - following the cancellation of last years planned next-gen wrestler - might do just that. Weve already reported on this years new features, although well clarify some of them in greater ... » Read Full WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 preview

Raise some hell with the ECW extremists

May 4, 2007

The legacy of the small Philadelphia-based wrestling promotion that rose up to challenge the WWE in the mid-nineties is such that to this day young men who were still filling their Huggies when the likes of Terry Funk and Sabu were ripping chunks out of each other back in '94 chant "E-C-W" at the merest whiff of a chairshot. Five years removed from its demise, the brand name was so strong that WWE decided to bring it back as a separate brand on TV. And in 2008, the Extremists will debut in ... » Read Full WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 preview
