Being from Eastern Canada, where warm whether is about as scarce as a Duke Nukem Forever release date, oven roasting myself in the outdoor heat that is California is a bit of an unfamiliar situation. Still, I wasn't out in the Sunshine State to enjoy the hot weather but to preview UFC 2009 Undisputed from THQ. I'm sure the UFC can relate to my fish out-of-water metaphor all too well. The UFC, and the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) as a whole, went against the odds and popular sensibilities. It wasn't supposed to be here. Nearly written off almost years ago as a bloody and pointless spectacle for over-reaching bar fighters and delusional wannabe gladiators, the sport of MMA (particularly the UFC)has smashed its way into popular culture and teeters on the edge of breaking into the mainstream sports consciousness. The evidence on how far the sport has come is tangible as here I am, transplanted across the country, ready to step into the offices of THQ in Agoura Hills, California to preview the upcoming video game."
MMA is one of the most intense and exciting sports to watch, but notoriously violent. For those not up to the intense dedication and training that learning MMA take, PS3 and Xbox offer a number of games which are the next best thing.

"Game development is a slow, sluggish process. But when a game is made, most of the time it’s made with love and care and a lot of effort. So it’s not nice to see good games go by almost unnoticed. I’ve decided to compile a list of the five best fairly recent underrated games that went unnoticed when released."
I did not/ do not understand why so many people liked blur i thought it was not very good as for the others i cant say anything. though i was hoping MAG would of been on the list was playing it last night nice to see there is still a community playing the game after so long and despite its lack of reception!
I loved blur. It had loads to do on the single player, and a good online system. The courses were varied with locations a little different to most racers. Also to top it all off it was very pretty with laser beams and disco light streaks chasing after people... That and it allowed me to drive a rat look beetle :)
I hope that helps you to understand at least why some people may have liked it.
Agreed. Blur was awful. Truly a terrible game. If was nowhere near the developer's previous efforts on quality nor gameplay.
If anything BLUR was over-rated. Big Time. It was really messy looking, and totally non-fun to play.
I had a VERY different opinion of Blur. I thought it was an excellent game. Had lots of fun, and wouldn't mind a sequel later this gen or next.
Blur was good. The point is it was hard, some people does not have the guts, patience or skill to keep up. It was a Bizarre game, you have to be skilled
Really? So that's why I absolutely LOVED PGR3 is it? Blur was nowhere near the class of PGR3 and that is why it failed for me. The cars felt weird, the tracks looked cartoony, the over bright neon mess of pick ups were ill considered and immersion ruining. It was TOO arcade for it's own good.
Well but Blur never tried to be a Racing Sim, it was like a Mario Kart with a nice graphic engine a more "not so kart" handling.
well maybe it SHOULD have tried to be more, it's poor reception showed it didn't please many people but I'm happy if you got fun out of it. I believe they could have done a lot better based on their past games.
THQ has lost one of its best franchises. Heres a look back at UFC Undisputed!
EA needs to be up in court on anti competitive charges, this being another in a long line of sh*t they pull. The worst though is the crap they pull with football, I mean making sure no one else can make a deal with the clubs is complete BS.
All I have to say is I called it & it is for the better, can't wait to play it !!!
