UFC 2009 Undisputed wrestled the competition to the ground throughout May and June, shipping a combined 2.9 million units worldwide. Red Faction: Guerrilla also fared well, shipping a combined one million units across the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms. Not only did THQ dominate the US in June, but the publisher enjoyed the top spot in the UK June charts with everyone's favorite testicle-punching simulator, UFC 2009.

Jesus Christ does that guy have a fucking squirrel hiding in his tights or what?

Could be his cup, or your fatal attraction to his crotch

This is a very true statement, I still think he's got a squirrels winter stash hidden in his shorts though.

He just gets overly excited when he punches another man, LOL

Can't handle his manliness can you?

Did we really need this article, *and* the article immediately below it?
"Hey, did you hear THQ profited due to UFC and Red Faction? Also, did you hear that THQ profited due to UFC and Red Faction?"

Hey buddy if it wasn't for this article we wouldn't have had the great discussion you see above you, I think you need to back the fun bus up a little here PAL.

But where else can I make a "ball punching" joke?

Glad for THQ.

You should've photoshopped the ostrich hammer into St. Pierre's hand.

Hope they use the money to make better games (specifically Saint's Row).

dude that game will never be good =P the last one cars exploded randomly for no reason! Even without glitches like that, it will always fall under the shadow of GTA.

RF:G sequel confirmed. Fuck yeah.
xtremeholymuffin @ Jul 29th 2009 11:53AM
that was totally not a reply to you
xtremeholymuffin @ Jul 29th 2009 11:53AM
Fedor is awesome though, yeah
Sean @ Jul 28th 2009 11:36PM
Congrats to THQ... they really needed some positive momentum. I would hate to see good games only come from EA and Activision.
Red Faction: Guerilla -- sleeper title of the year.
Ryan @ Jul 28th 2009 11:53PM
ROFL @ first commenter.
I rented Red Faction today actually. Very good game. The destruction engine really impressed me
whylekat @ Jul 29th 2009 10:59AM
Anyone have any advice about Red Faction? I'm on the fence about it for some time now. It looks really cool but the demo bored me.
Johnny Punchcunt @ Jul 29th 2009 11:57PM
The bulge is because GSP is so bad ass, they couldn't actually render how mighty his crotch is.
Seriously... two xbox's taped together.
