THQ launches new UFC 2009 Undisputed Web site

30.01.2009
THQ launches a brand-new website for their upcoming fighting title, , complete with trailers, screenshots and more.

If you just can't wait for your daily fix of UFC, THQ's got your back. The new website for UFC 2009 Undisputed has been shined up, polished, and launched for all you Octagon fans at . It's got a couple of trailers from past THQ events, a list of the game's features (like the grappling system and different fighting styles), and a link to the UFC 2009 community blog.

We've played quite of bit of this game, and it's really looked better everytime we've seen it. That didn't stop THQ from wiping the floor with us in every match. George Jones, our Creative Director, still fared a lot better than I did despite playing the game for the first time (yeah, I went down in the first round). Still, just seeing the game in motion actually feels like watching a real UFC PPV fight. It's going to be interesting to see if this game will dethrone the mighty as the preferred in-ring fighting title for gamers.

It's already looking like a good summer: UFC 2009 Undisputed is coming out at the tailend of this Spring (probably May 2009) for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and will include a HUGE roster when it releases. Take a look at the press release below for other info, and check out our to see how good it looks.
