TNA and WWE may be two completely separate wrestling entities, but they both happened to reveal the first screens and information about their respective videogames yesterday. THQ told us about WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, and Midway did the same thing with the TNA game they’re developing, TNA iMPACT!.
Midway sent along a (really short) press release with two screenshots of the game; you can view them after the jump and below, respectively. There’s no word on whether they’re from the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version. Either way, the screens look good — and I dare say, better than SvR 2009. Eight more images, along with a trailer and the game’s official forums, are available at the newly launched Web site, www.tnagame.com.
I stopped watching wrestling when I was in high school for one reason or another, so I haven’t really been keeping up with the times. The last time I was really into wrestling, the WWE was still the WWF. Man, I miss the Rock ‘N’ Sock Connection... However, my colleague Gameboi is a big fan of wrestling, so he knows what he’s talking about when he says, “TNA is where the once great wrestlers go to die. Even I can't watch it.” Hm. Perhaps the game will be better than the real thing, then...
You’ll be able to beat the crap out of your friends in TNA iMPACT! this summer on the PS3, 360, Wii, and PS2.

TNA is like....really nothing special. They have an octogonal ring for goodness sakes. After the great days of the N64 wrestling games, I really haven't played wrestling games like that.
Face, I'm almost in agreement with you.
I actually like the X-Division guys, but Ring Of Honor is better for actual wrestling. TNA is still better than 'I'm gonna have HHH wrestle big show's arm at wrestlemania for 40 minutes' WWE.
Except Sharkboy and Curry Man
I dunno if I'm looking forward to this. It looks smooth, and it looks fast, but it's TNA. As long as you can have Fish Market Street Fights, then I'll buy it.
And Midway makes pretty shitty games period.
I mention this because I mainly get WWE games for making my own character and going through storymode. If I have to go through TNA storylines... I might have to pour bleach in my eyes just to deal with it. I will at least agree with Samit in saying it does look a tad better than SvR 2009.
oh wait... no....
nevermind...
As is, it's worth a good laugh at some of the terrible things that go on. Also, WWE's Santino Marella is fucking hilarious.
Where is the UFC game at these days though? I desperately need a good solid MMA game. I'd love to match up Anderson Silva against Chuck Lidell or some other such crazyness. Quinton Jackson vs Sean Sherk, lol.
Excellent Shoot Fighting/MMA engine in it.
Chuck Lidell vs Stone Cold makes me happy.
