WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 – VGBlogger.com http://www.vgblogger.com Celebrating geek culture -- Books, Gadgets, Video Games & More! Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:24:59 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Clinton and Obama Square Off in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008… Wha? http://www.vgblogger.com/clinton-and-obama-square-off-in-wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2008-wha/2919/ Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:24:59 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=2919 OK, now this is just weird. Apparently, Democratic Presidential candidates Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama are set to appear (or have been invited to appear at least) on tonight’s special three-hour Monday Night RAW event, which starts at 8PM ET on the USA Network, in anticipation of tomorrow’s Pennsylvania primary. So to kick off the potential face off inside the squared circle, WWE and THQ have teamed up to produce this odd promo video using the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 engine that shows what Clinton’s and Obama’s ring entrances could be like. Again, it’s just weird. I’m too weirded out right now to say any more, so just watch it.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 International Tournament Underway http://www.vgblogger.com/wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2008-international-tournament-underway/2453/ http://www.vgblogger.com/wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2008-international-tournament-underway/2453/#comments Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:08:21 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=2453 WWESmackdownVsRaw08GlobalTournament.jpg Quick reminder here for all you WWE fanatics out there. Registration for the WWE SmackDown Vs. Raw 2008 International Tournament, presented by THQ, GameStop, Major League Gaming and Xbox Live, is coming to a close on February 8th. Tournament registration began in December and the online ladder play portion has been underway since the beginning of this month, but if you’d like to stage a last-minute run up the ladder to make it into the 32-player bracketed tournament portion of the challenge — running Feb. 9-22 — you still have over a week to give it a go.

At the end of the tournament, the two finalists from North America, the finalist from the UK and the finalist from Continental Europe will be brought to the 6th Annual THQ Superstar Challenge on March 27, 2008 at the House of Blues Orlando for the head-to-head grand finale in front of a live capacity crowd and top WWE superstars. The grand prize winner will be treated to two floor tickets to WrestleMania 24 coming up on March 30th in Orlando, Florida, two tickets to the WWE Hall of Fame awards ceremony on March 29th, and a championship belt to honor their victory. The three runners-up will also be awarded tickets to WrestleMania 24 for their efforts.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 DS Trailer http://www.vgblogger.com/wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2008-ds-trailer/1897/ Sun, 14 Oct 2007 00:33:36 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=1897 WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 is set to make the series’ debut on the Nintendo DS, complete with a very unique touch screen control system, exclusive training mini-games and a full season mode. Even after watching this new trailer I’m still not quite sure how a complete match unfolds (almost looks kinda turn-based or something, I don’t know…), but the stylus-based wrestling mechanics look like a neat concept and the graphics are really impressive, especially for a DS game. Honestly, I think I’m now more interested in trying this version than any of the others, color me intrigued…

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 Demo Details http://www.vgblogger.com/wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2008-demo-details/1774/ http://www.vgblogger.com/wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2008-demo-details/1774/#comments Mon, 01 Oct 2007 18:16:23 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=1774 WWESvR2008.jpg

As of today, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 Xbox 360 pre-orders placed at select North American retailers will net you a disc copy of the official game demo, among other undisclosed “retail exclusive gift-with-purchase promotions.” If you aren’t sure if you want to put money down yet and would rather wait a couple weeks to try out the demo, THQ will also be releasing it via the Xbox Live Marketplace on October 15th. No mention of a downloadable PS3 demo, but hopefully one lands on the PlayStation Store in the weeks ahead too.

What are the contents of the demo you ask? According to the alert I received from THQ today, it will feature exhibition match play for one to two players, Rey Mysterio, Bobby Lashley, Undertaker and Randy Orton as the playable grapplers, and the RAW, SmackDown and ECW arenas to duke it out in.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 ships for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS next month.
