Here’s a game I have to speak up about. I recently downloaded the demo of UFC 2009 Undisputed on PSN. Since then, my roommates and I have not been able to put down the PS3 controllers because this game is really fun. Excellent graphics, huge knockouts and real UFC announcers make playing this title a real pleasure. I love knocking out Maurico “Shogun” Rua out in seconds and come tomorrow, I’ll actually have a real selection of characters to work with.

So yes, get ready to drop $60 + tax tomorrow on yet another video game. I’ll be trading in Killzone 2 for my copy of Undisputed. What about you? Are you getting it? PS3 or 360? We want to know!

Don’t fancy yourself a real-life Ryu? Scared that with every corner you turn, a mugger lies waiting to kick you ass and take your money? Time to man up. Get a pair of these Blast Knuckles for $50. Aside from the clever pun, these fuckers will shock your opponent with 950,000 volts of power. Yes, nearly a million volts. In other words, make sure you have a good lawyer before you go kicking ass and taking names.

This morning, time stood still as I came upon this article on how a team of researchers at Rice University in Houston are working to create a beer that could fight cancer and heart disease. They’re genetically engineering a beer that includes resveratrol, a disease-fighting chemical that can been found in red wine.

These folks deserve the Nobel Prize in awesomeness. Before now, beer has always been that drink that tasted great, made you feel like a million bucks and left you with a gut and a bad hangover. Now, it does all of those things in addition to promoting a healthy heart. Fuck eating Cheerios; drink beer instead.

Seriously, is anyone really excited for Mortal Kombat vs. DC? What a dumb idea. Regardless, Nick Deleon over at CrunchGear mentioned Kotaku’s interview of Ed Boon (he puts the “Noob” in Noob Saibot) regarding a mature return of the Mortal Kombat series. Now in its ninth installment, Ed Boon states that the newest Mortal Kombat:

“…may strive for more blood, more violence, more of everything that warrants an M-rating”

We’re hoping that “may” means “will”. By the sound of things, the next game in the series should be the one we’ve all been waiting for. And yes Nick, we all agree Mortal Kombat II was a great sequel. However, I thought I was the only one who liked Mortal Kombat 4.

Oh right, that reminds me – I still owe Nick a drink. Perhaps we can settle this in a match of Mortal Kombat II on the ultimate gaming system?

For only $60, you can bring the fantastic experience of owning a Neo-Geo AES to your Wii, without spending $200 dollars per game. The Virtual Console arcade stick is said to work with only a limited selection of games, so we can automatically assume it’s for the SNK games that are coming to the VC within the next few months.

However, there is good news for Neo-Geo fans who love waving the wand around on the worst console of all time.

Tired of searching your local arcades for World Heroes cabinets? Here’s your chance to get back into The King of Fighters and other SNK fighting games. So put on your Terry Bogard hat and prepare yourself for some serious hardcore 2-D fighting, not that other stuff.
