We didn't know wrestling was still popular enough to warrant an annual release, but over the weekend THQ dropped the trailer for WWE: Smackdown vs. Raw 2009. The video showcases the latest feature for the upcoming title, co-op story mode. While we're sure there is still a group of fans clamoring for a "chair-shot to the face" good time, we wonder if we really need another WWE game every year? Madden's annual release already gets us annoyed but we understand the reasoning behind it, but does including one new addition and swapping some characters in the roster really need another $60 price tag?

WWE wraslin' demo should be available soon
Smackdown vs Raw 2008 screens are slammin!
THQ just released a few screenshots for their latest wrestling installment WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008. Xboxygen posted all fifteen newly released screenshots and to be honest ... they are very pretty. The character models are highly detailed, accurately representing their real-life wrestlers without the facial scanning oddities. Seriously, these models are very good. We'll have to see if the environments are equally gorgeous and how gameplay works out, but these shots are promising. Anyone a huge wrestling fan and looking forward to a little WWE wrestling?
WWE's Kane loves his 360
In an interview with Yahoo!, WWE superstar and See No Evil star Kane admitted that he is a huge fan of the Xbox 360. After receiving it for Christmas last year, Kane has been playing Gears of War and COD 3 non stop as first person shooters are his drug of choice. Now he has turned to the dark side leaving PC gaming for good saying, "I can't even play on a computer any more because I can't get used to the keyboard and mouse after using the control pad for so long". Good for you big guy, console gaming is where all the cool kids are at and you my friend are one cool kid. Do you know of any moderately famous people who have publicly admitted to being video game lovers?[Thanks, Retrofied]
Pics of sweaty men [update 1]
Pro-G has posted some new screen shots of WWE SmackDown! Vs. RAW 2007. Wrestling is decidedly not my thing, but the shots look pretty nice. Developed by Yuke's and published by THQ, the game is set to feature online play with in game voice chat as well as a new grappling system. Expect to see the game by Christmas.
Be sure to check out the screens if rippled, oily menfolk tickle your fancy (or you could always look at this instead).

Update: The game should be out this Christmas, not Christmas 2007.
