“Now it’s a fight,” this new trailer for EA Sports MMA proudly proclaims. And it’s true — EA Sports has a huge fight ahead of it. Not only is EA Sports MMA a latecomer to the genre, it’s missing the UFC license and some of the biggest fighters in the business. Still, the game looks to stay true to its promise of showcasing “authentic Strikeforce environments,” and the animation does look particularly good (and very reminiscent of the Fight Night series).
Still, it’s hard to know if EA Sports has what it takes to go up against THQ in the MMA arena. Will EA get its foot in the ring, or will it be KO’d before the fight even begins?

Though we don’t have any new gameplay details on upcoming grappler EA Sports MMA for you today, we do have a whole mess of new screenshots. The images feature everything from the usual “two sweaty dudes staring each other down” to the brand new “dude walking down a runway with fire shooting in the air” — there are even several images of MMA rings with the audience seated at dinner tables, presumably in the VIP section, watching the fight. Nothing says “Roman Colosseum” quite like eating dinner while watching two meaty gents beat each other into the mat!
These stills beg the obvious question: Could the MMA game engine, with its crowd-eating technology, be used to create a fully-realized “Medieval Times” game? We think so.

Wakeboarding HD might have the most generic-sounding name this side of City Bus Simulator 2010 (I’ve been trying to link back to that for months. Months!), but it looks surprisingly great. For starters, you can’t help but notice the vibrant, tropical visuals — what’s not to like about that?
There’s also the insanity factor, which is almost too much to handle. Not only does your character ram through solid objects with the greatest of ease, it appears as if he actually enjoys doing so. Plus, we’re led to believe the premier wakeboarding spot is infested with sharks on a large scale. Sure, why not?
And lastly, when’s the last time we got a wakeboarding game? Exactly! Wakeboarding HD will be ready for a PlayStation Network on March 25 at $14.99, according to its developers Creat Studios and Tik Games.
