I’ll pay money for 2k9 even though I don’t really follow basketball, just to support this kind of thing (up with that).

I outgrew wrestling and can’t go back no matter how hard I try, so I won’t be checking out smackdown. I still wish EA would port a nice version of the 360 Madden 09 to PC. Didn’t I hear EA changed their minds and decided to keep making madden for the PC (with more effort even!)? I thought I remembered “09″ somewhere in the story, but I never understood if that was referring to the football season or the year.

I’d also pay good money for a proper port of the next Fight Night, but that’s more of a long shot, especially given the ports I’ve purchased recently, mainly the Madden 08 port, which only had PS2 features (WHY?!?!) and most recently Mercenaries 2.

Well, I’m pretty damn happy about this. As long as NBA 2K9 supports two players on one machine (and surely it will) then I’ll almost definitely buy it.

I haven’t played a wrestling game since the N64, but I doubt that will appeal to me. SF IV will hopefully take care of my beat-em-up (rather than hug-em-up) needs.

Don’t worry about the lack of Facebreaker, Chris Evans — it’s only appealing for about 5 minutes. That sort of in-and-out, ADHD game is of the variety that’s most likely to get pirated, wouldn’t you think?

I’m not quite sure why THQ is wasting its time, though. Presumably because once the WWE game is ported it can get away with pushing out the barely-noticeable yearly iterations with little to no requirement for actual work.

They’ve probably seen the large sports-centric gap in the market now EA Sports have semi-officially abandoned the our platform.

A shame there is no Facebreaker coming to the PC, that would be so awesome if it did.

I also think the wrestling MMO has potential to be loads of fun. No seriously, create your own wacky storylines and get the chance to put your friends through tables? Hells yeah!
