Smackdown! vs RAW 2009 Tag Team

One of Brunei's most watched sports is Wrestling. Or more specifically, WWE. Which is why I think that THQ's Smackdown! VS Raw series have sold so well here. But one of the problems with the series is how it gives and takes features as the each product gets released - though keeping most of what works in. This can be seen through its season mode, or 24/7 mode in 2007.

One feature that was once put in the story mode was the ability to go in as a tag team. Fans of this feature will finally be able to jump for joy as WWE SvsR 2009 will include a story mode for tag teams. 2009 will also see DLC put into place, most probably in terms of updating the roster. And speaking of online play, players will also be able to play tag team matches now.

Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Randy Orton, Mr Kennedy, Undertaker and John Cena have been revealed to join in 2009's roster. More will be announced soon as the final number has yet to be revealed.

Check out the following video for SvsR 2009's tag team promo.

WWE Spartan

One of the most amazing things I love about the WWE Smackdown (and now Smackdown VS RAW) series from the beginning of its life on the PS2 is their character customization feature (or CAW for Create-A-Wrestler). It's so deep that you could spend an hour just creating your character - which also means that you are free to be extremely creative.

With WWE Smackdown! VS RAW 2008, I've seen so many characters being created from original characters such as Kurt Angle (who is now in TNA) to The Grinch. Heck, once I even saw Billy the puppet from the Saw movies. But one of my favourites has got to be the following video. If you've seen 300, then shout with me... SPPAAAARRRTAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!

The Force in Motion

Just to add to the news on the lightsaber being in Soul Calibur IV, I just bumped into a video of Darth Vader and Yoda in action in Soul Calibur. Check it out.

CES08: SCIV feels the force

I'm sure some of you have heard this news by now but it's still good news! See, I've always wondered how it would be like to have a lightsaber in Soul Calibur. And guess what? That question will be answered soon enough with the release of Soul Calibur IV.


Yes, you heard that right. Two Star Wars characters will be included in the PS3 and xbox360 versions of Soul Calibur IV. Darth Vader will appear in the PS3 version while Yoda in the 360. And apparently, they might also have downloadable characters via DLC in the future. So, look forward into new characters to be included in SCIV after its release.

Now, here's something I want to share with you. A funny short video on Darth Vader.
