WWE All-Stars review: Larger than life

Mar 30th 2011 11:33PM (Joystiq)
@Im No Hero I'm not sure you get what I mean. Regardless of whether or not wrestling is "scripted" what's going on in the ring is real. The moves are real. The only thing "fake" about wrestling is that the outcome is already decided before the show takes place.

Pro-Wrestlers are every bit the athlete as baseball or football players, it takes just as much skill to put on a good match and not kill each other with the moves you do as it does to pitch a no hitter.

I mean, read some of the interviews with sports stars who tried their hand at wrestling.

The WWE (and TNA... although I don't watch that much) is a male soap opera and the feuds and whatnot are fake.. yes, but whats going down in the ring is pretty real, just scripted so no one gets hurt.

I don't know, maybe it's silly but I respect pro wrestlers... and to say what they do is "fake" just... doesn't sound right to me.

"Pro wrestling is real, people are fake."

Can you say "scripted" instead of "fake." That's what it is, it's scripted. Many, if not all of the moves they do are REAL they just hold back on them. Yes, I'm a wrestling fan but the wrestlers are real athletes. "Fake" just sounds so... demeaning.

Scripted, yes... Fake? No.

Can't wait. I just beat this again (PS3 version this time) so this will be perfect post end game DLC.

This JUST in on the PS3 vs 360 versions - Who gives a shit?

As for some enviroments looking the same... I could say the same thing about DAO and yet I still enjoyed that game. Well... Minus ANYTHING to do with the Deep Roads or the Fade.

Demo tomorrow for PS+.

Awesome.

Mass Effect 2 action figures delayed, second set potentially canceled

Dear BioWare,

Give the rights to ALL of your games to NECA! The Player Select video game figure line is top notch. They'll actually make Commander Shepard LOOK like he does on the video game box art.

DC Universe Online review: Heroic trials

@gamon500

Thank you for summing up why this game is so great. I've been playing it since launch (on the PS3) on the Justice server and I think it's a fantastic breath for fresh air in the MMO crowd.

All of the updates have fixed all of the UI issues as well. Not to mention it only took me an hour and a half to install the game on my PS3.... not sure where the 3 hour comment came from....

@pfranzen Agreed! This game is MUCH more like TJ&E.

Do you get an in game fine of 75,000 dollars every time you touch the QB?

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time HD on PSN today

*sigh*

I had hoped that it wouldn't be 15 bucks. To much money to close to Christmas.

Maybe if they have a sale on it down the road, but I'm not buying this trilogy again for 45 dollars.
