"Microsoft’s Kinect might not be the best at racing games, but makers of fitness titles sure have taken a liking to it. The next major controller-free fitness excursion is THQ’s UFC Personal Trainer, which is being compiled by a rather impressive roster of contributors."
"As we reported yesterday, Sony is adding new games to the "Greatest Hits" collection. However, Sony has now confirmed that there are ten games getting added and not just the five that were showin in the Wal-Mart flyer. Expect to start seeing the fancy new red boxes and $29.99 prices at retailers in the next couple of weeks."
"Thrifty gamers who weren't willing to spend $60 on some of the biggest games from the last year and a half will get their wallets tempted as five new titles have been added to the Playstations 3's "Greatest Hits" line."
"Singing, fighting, or fighting are you choices for games added to Xbox Live's Games on Demand service today. Karaoke Revolution: American Idol Encore 2, Hitman: Blood Money, and UFC 2009: Undisputed are all older Xbox 360 games now available to purchase download to your Xbox 360 hard drive."
Gaming Target posts the fourth part of their weeklong look at their favorite games from 2009. Eight games will be posted every day with "The Best of the Best" appearing on Friday.
"UFC 2009 Undisputed was developed by Yuke’s, the same people behind the popular Smackdown wrestling series. Unlike some of the over the top Smackdown titles, UFC is a much more realistic experience for the user, resulting in quite possibly the best UFC title to date."
"THQ has just revealed the previously announced patch for UFC 2009 Undisputed has been released worldwide on Xbox 360 and throughout Europe for PLAYSTATION 3. The patch is still in submission with Sony Computer Entertainment America, but its release is expected shortly."

1. Resident Evil 5
2. UFC 2009 Undisputed
3. Call of Duty: World at War
4. Halo Wars
5. Street Fighter IV

"Major Nelson has posted the LIVE Activity list for the week of July 6th, and it is very surprising. As you can see from the title, Battlefield 1943 has accomplished something only once done before with Castle Crashers.
Despite initially having server issues, EA overcame that hurdle right away and it seems to have pleased gamers. Battlefield 1943 has cracked the top numbers for disc based games, taking out Rock Band 2 from the list completely. I am not sure how long this will last, but with..."
"It has been revealed this weekend that EA SPORTS are currently developing a Mixed Martial Arts title to rival THQ’s successful UFC 2009 Undisputed, but it appears there’s far more to this story than yet another “me-too” franchise. UFC President Dana White has publicly acknowledged his disappointment at the turn of events, stating his previous attempts to negotiate a deal with Electronic Arts fell flat very quickly, and that those wishing to side with the videogames publisher would have a hard..."

"Fresh details have today been released concerning the forthcoming free title update for UFC 2009 Undisputed from THQ. Neven Dravinski, the game’s producer, stated across at UFC 2009 Undisputed’s Community Blog a list of features set to improve the title with the update, but has not yet revealed when we should be expecting it to arrive."
While the overall reaction to UFC 2009: Undisputed has been extremely positive, many gamers have found some major flaws with the online component of the game. For example, if you play a few matches online, you will likely come across someone who quits the game right before he is about to lose, resulting in an invalid match. This has angered many gamers and THQ is looking to fix this with a downloadable patch, which is coming soon. The patch will also fix other problems, such as fixing lag, be...
A new episode of The Bender for the Fourth of July (even though it has nothing to do with the holiday). We talk a bit on that Transformers movie, we pay our respects to the pitch man Billy Mays, Allison goes on about The Conduit, James talks crap about Old Wizard, and Mike gives out a lot of good torrent sites. Listen live/stream through iTunes or download the mp3 here, enjoy!

"UFC 2009 Undisputed will thrill fans of MMA and especially for those who follow the sport as closely as I do. People who aren’t too familiar with UFC and the like will no doubt still be able to enjoy a solid fighting game once the complexities can be overcome."
"Punching and kicking your way to victory with the likes of Brock Lesnar, Chuck Liddell and Rampage Jackson, to name a few, UFC 2009 Undisputed is a fighting game to be reckoned with. Made by Yuke's Media Creations, UFC 2009 plunges you into the Octagon to deliver brutal and jaw dropping blows to your opponent. If you are unfamiliar to UFC, it stands for Ultimate Fighting Champions, which is a professional fighting league involving fighters from across the world who use Mixed Martial Arts. So ..."
With the release of THQ's UFC Undisputed, speculations are arising about the level of competition that will exist between the UFC and WWE games. This should provide for better, more in depth games in the future. UFC Undisputed reviewed.
"In terms of gaming; I have managed to cram quite a bit in this week, despite the fact I should be revising for my pending examinations when I get back to school. I have unearthed some really nice titles for the Nintendo DS which I have been playing relentlessly, and I have also been getting hands on with Tomb Raider: Underworld, along with Stormrise and LittleBigPlanet. Apart from that, Battlefield Heroes has stolen an hour or so from my revision period along with short bursts of UFC Undisipu..."
Michael A, of AnalogHype fame, reviews THQ's UFC 2009 Undisputed. Does this iteration succeed where past UFC games have failed. Does THQ have a gem on their hands? Read on to find out.
"So people are wondering if Fight Night 4 will be better than UFC Undisputed. Too early, right? Fight Night isn't out but it looks awesome. And the UFC game isn't as well known.
A few things are certain, though, about Fight Night. You won't be able to stand over a defenseless man and bury your fist into his face. You won't be able to turn his arm the wrong way until he loses the will to fight. So this video is my early vote for UFC Undisputed. Knockouts all around."
Major Nelson has posted up the Live Activity for the week of May 11th, and with that comes some regulars, along with some .. weirdness... such as the fact that the UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo has made it's way on the top ten for the fourth week in a row! I played it, I don't get it, how is this on the list.. *shrugs shoulders*. Though being out a year and a half, as well as having a sequel, Call of Duty 4 continues to carry a high rank on the list :D
"To accuse UFC 2009 Undisputed of simply being yet another addition to the ever-increasing WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw line-up is somewhat short-sighted, despite the familiar partnership of Yuke’s and THQ. UFC 2009 Undisputed is not only a brutal rendition of an entertainment brand closely followed by teenage boys, but it is also an exploration of the distance between Wrestling games and Beat-‘Em-Ups. And this gap is, apparently, rather wide."
"Another great thing about the sport of MMA that is captured in this game is anything can happen at anytime. It is possible to knock someone out 20 seconds into a match and there is an achievement for doing just that."
A nice few goodies for you to choose from this week -- Bionic Commando is looking pretty great, Terminator Salvation shows some promise (though taking out T-800s with shotguns and such doesn't seem very realistic or fun to us), UFC fans get the latest in the form of Undisputed, Nintendo launches Punch-Out!!, EA tries out the Wii excercise thing, and DS owners get some cool adventures.
"The latest Game Informer review scores are as follows:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 8/ SO 9
Bionic Commando 6.25/ SO 5
UFC 2009 Undisputed 8 / 8.25
Ninja Blade 7.5 / 8.25
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel 7.75 / 7
inFAMOUS (Game of the Month) 9 / SO 8.5
Punch-Out!! 9 / SO 8.25
Boom Blox Bash Party 8.75 / SO 8.75
Excitebots: Trick Racing 8.5 / SO 8.25
Broken Sword (Wii) 7
Klonoa 7
DemiGod 8 / SO 8
Patapon 2 7 / SO 8.25
Knights in the Nightmare 7 / SO 6"
"THQ and Zuffa today announced the UFC 2009 Undisputed playable demo is now available for free download via XboxLIVE! Marketplace for the Xbox 360, as well as PlayStation Network for the PLAYSTATION3. In celebration of UFC 97, held last weekend in Montreal, Quebec, the playable demo will allow consumers to sample an exhibition bout with former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua."
Two OXCGN reps were invited to a very intimate PR evening the other month with several other major online and print publications to get all up-close-n-personal with one of THQ - Yukes newest games, UFC - Undisputed. A game that is going to literally knock your socks off. You thought FightNight 3 was great, you simply have NOT seen anything yet!
Here’s Aaron Bertinetti’s accounts of how he sees the game shaping up. Many thanks again to Annabelle from Mango and Drew and Paul from THQ-Aust fo...

"THQ has released new assets for UFC 2009 Undisputed, which is due out later this year for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. In accordance with keeping gamers well informed about highly anticipated games, you can check out the new screenshots for yourself."
THQ's CEO Brian Farrell, has given a talk at the BMO Capital Markets Interactive Entertainment Conference to take a look at their goals for the next several months. The main concept, "fewer, higher-quality games".
They're going to do this by looking at the areas they detailed being "core market, kids' games, family games, the female audience, and online gaming". Note how they made females a separate category.
The main focus is core gaming, which everyone knows is the biggest thing arou...
