#6 of 2011: WWE All-Stars
The segment of arcade-style sports offerings has largely been dying out over the course of this console generation. There has been a resurrection as of late, with EA Sports bringing back NBA Jam and NFL Blitz in particular, but have done so by shifting them to to digital-downloads at discount prices. WWE All-Stars was a full-fledged retail release that delivered an immense amount of fun and content to justify the price. Better described as a fighting game than a wrestling game All-Stars not ...

THQ’s Struggles with WWE 12 Online Causes Concern to Grow for UFC 3
With a history of poor online performance, which came courtesy of the decision to allow GameSpy to host, THQ made the decision to transition to their own servers for WWE 12 and the upcoming UFC Undisputed 3.

WWE 12 is set to release on Tuesday and there are a number of deals and different pre-order incentives around to decide from.

Get The Rock with WWE 12 Preorder
THQ announced today that The Rock is being offered as a preorder incentive for WWE 12. This offer appears to be across all retailers including Gamestop and Amazon (360, PS3). Currently Gamestop is also offering exclusive attire for The Miz but hopefully Amazon comes through with a promotional credit as they have with other upcoming titles which would easily trump that. WWE 12 is said to deliver new animation and submission systems, highlight reels and sharing of created wrestlers, enhanc...
