"In my opinion, The Undertaker is the scariest WWE Superstar of all time... and that includes a topless Mae Young!"

Omg.

I'm still bummed that CAW mode for the most part was left untouched. I think added what? three kickpads and a really shitty hairstyle for the Divas? That's honestly something they should constantly be updating every year, 99% of the stuff they have for Created Divas is seriously outdated and most of it looks bulky and painted on.

They added Primo/Epico/Rosa's tag entrance tho, that was cool (I'm just going to assume Rosa was supposed to be in the game, but since she's a Diva they just laughed)

I agree with you the Diva CAW mode is pityful. I also find it weird that Rosa's entrance is in there with Primo & Epico but they didn't put her in the game. It would have been nice if she was in this year's game.

Luckily I downloaded a good CAW of her from Community Creations on Friday. I like the game so far and they have improved a lot of things over WWE 12. Finished the Attitude Era storylines I just have to finish the Off The Script matches now.

THQ filed for bankruptcy today. So long WWE 14. Your future looks grim.

Just turned it on and the first thing I see and hear is a giant picture of CM Punk and CM Punk's music playing on the main menu.

I dislike this game already. Although I suppose things can only get better from here.

I thought this DLC pack was kinda lame, but I actually like it. Sandow and Cesaro make the game feel more up to date, it's nice to have another diva and tag team in the game, and Pillman's cool I guess for AE fans. I don't really know who he is.

Chainsaw Charlie scares the living shit out of me tho. Too close to Leatherface walking to the ring for me

Whatever you do, don't play Jey & Nikki vs Jimmy & Brie. I'm still not entirely sure if I won or not...

Sick of this song, but.....

I finally completed all the bonus objectives on Attitude Era mode.

The one where you had to powerbomb Road Dogg through a table was so annoying. When I tried to set the table up in the ring the ref would throw it out before I could get Jericho into position. Then I realised it would be easier to do it outside the ring but it still took like 5 tries because I kept powerbombing him on the edge of the table and not completely breaking it.

And in THQ's final farewell "Fuck You," they sold the games to the wrong damn company

WWE Video Game Series Purchased By 2K Sports?

Yesterday THQ sold off many of its studios and games to other companies. There was no mention of what happened to their license to create WWE video games, though. Rumor has it that THQ has found an interested buyer: Take-Two Interactive, the parent of 2K Sports.

Sources have told IGN that Take-Two has agreed to purchase the license. No word on how much money Take-Two will pay. It seems that the exact terms of the deals are still being hammered out.

The WWE license would be a big prize for 2K Sports. The brand has a loyal following so solid sales are already assured. There are no real competitors in the genre, either. EA Sports, 2K's main rival, doesn't produce any sort of pro wrestling games.

The developer of the WWE series is Japan-based studio Yuke's. It's not clear how the sale of the license to 2K would affect them. The studio isn't owned by THQ so they aren't being auctioned off like Relic or Volition were. In theory, they could just continue to make WWE games provided that 2K wanted them to do it. Given the strong reviews of WWE 13 and Yuke's extensive experience with the series, I would think 2K would want to retain them as the developer.

THQ has sold many of its major assets to companies like Koch Media, Ubisoft and Sega. The WWE license is just one of several properties still unaccounted for. For example, it's not clear yet what's happening with DarkSiders studio Vigil Games.

Despite all the bitching we've done in the last few years about the WWE games I have a feeling we'll be longing for the good ole days of THQ once we see what these new people have to offer.
