There's no better way to beat The Rock than with a custom, skinny Conan character. Conan O'Brien is back with "Clueless Gamer" and this time he plays WWE 2K14. I'm glad they've spent time with the game's best feature: character customization.
Twenty-five years ago my best friend and I set up a wrestling ring in my basement—four barstools for the turnbuckles, some old mattresses for the canvas. The actual wrestling we did was hesitant, unplanned and uncompelling. But man, the stuff we did out of the ring makes me smile to this day.
Street Fighter was real. At least, it was for one night earlier this year, as Oakland's wrestling crew at Hoodslam took on Capcom's fighter and put it in the ring.
WWE 2K14 will deliver more than 45 all-time great bouts and a roster loaded with Wrestlemania's greatest superstars in a showcase mode that pays tribute to three decades of wrestling's premier spectacle.
There's no rule against using ladders as weapons in wrestling, but that's not how you do it! Climbing it might also be problematic, even if it's just WWE '13 and not reality.
In February on r/SquaredCircle, Reddit's pro wrestling forum, one poster kicked off a "prediction series," asking users to pick who they expected to win at that week's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event. The winner was a user named "Dolphins1925," who posted just minutes before the start of the event, and nailed the…
Rumored last week when an ad appeared in WWE magazine, it's now official: The Ultimate Warrior will be making his first-ever appearance in the 13-year run of what is now called WWE 2K14. The catch is he's only being offered—for now one guesses—as a preorder incentive.
When it comes to Japanese developers, creating crazy, nice games isn't the only thing they're good at; they also design characters with pumped-to-the-max muscles, half of which don't even exist in real life and have the size of a truck. And they are all really serious about beating the hell out of everyone around them.
Despite not carrying a single official license, it decided to rip off a number of high-profile wrestlers of the time, like Hulk Hogan (who was awesomely renamed "Titan Morgan")…
Randy "Macho Man" Savage died in a car wreck in May, two months after ending an estrangement with the WWE/F by appearing in THQ's WWE Superstars. Savage, one of the greatest superstars in professional wrestling history, will also appear in the series' flagship video game WWE 12 when it releases its Legends stable of…
Regional covers for sports video games are not uncommon, especially for titles like FIFA. (Madden, once upon a time, also had a Spanish edition). I don't know that it's ever been done for THQ's WWE series before now, though. [Update: It has. Several times.]
It began, as so many things do, with sweaty men in tight underpants. And they wore masks. Let's not forget the masks. Lucha Libre masks. Those masks might have started in Mexican professional wrestling, but they live on in Japan, whether that be in fashion, manga, pornos and, yes, video games.
Back in May, one rasslin' fan from Spokane brought a 3DS to the WWE. In November, THQ will bring the WWE to the 3DS.
Yuzuki Aikawa made her name as a pin-up model, appearing in glossies. The curvy bikini model also worked as a race queen, before joining an idol group and releasing a CD. Then she did something unexpected. She got her ass kicked.
Gymnasium/ballroom/armory pro wrestling is a beautiful thing. A beautifully cheesy thing. This combatant from Hawaii, "Kenryu Takadoki", has shed all pretense of trying to become noticed and promoted to a bigger circuit because, hey, they're way out in Hawaii. So why not go with a repertoire based on Street Fighter…
Jerry "The King" Lawler and WWE superstar "The Miz" will in a couple of hours reveal the full roster of legends and superstars for WWE 12, live from Summerslam Fan Axxess at 4 p.m. EDT. You can follow it though this live streaming link.
Friday, Totilo noticed someone sitting ringside with a 3DS at WWE SmackDown's recent event in Spokane, Wash., apparently capturing the action with the device's 3D camera. (Kotaku commenter Dr. Zaius: 'Guy was watching the match through the 3DS's 3D lenses. 'Whoa! It's like I'm RIGHT THERE!'") Yesterday, that guy…
On Smackdown last night, WWE rasslers Christian and Sheamus finally adjudicated matters inside the ring, and one fan captured the magic moment with an Aqua Blue 3DS, seen here. I bet this does indeed look lovely in 3D.
Being a successful professional wrestler takes more than having the right moves in the ring, and no one knows that better than the legendary Hulk Hogan. That's why the Kinect-powered Hulk Hogan's Main Event focuses as much on winning the crowd as it does winning the match.
