Category: Fighting Games News PS3 Xbox 360 UFC 2009 Undisputed screens and debut trailer: ooh, that’s going to leave a mark Samit Sarkar | Published: Jun 22, 2008 05:41 pm 0 Recommended Videos As I’ve said before, I have no interest in watching people beat each other to a bloody pulp. But there are obviously tons of people who do; that’s been evinced by the recent rise of the UFC. Accordingly, we’ve seen a number of reportedly mediocre UFC video games; last January, though, THQ obtained exclusive rights to UFC games, and now we’re seeing the first fruits of that agreement. The debut trailer for THQ’s first UFC game, UFC 2009 Undisputed, can be viewed above — feel free to cringe and grimace along with Forrest Griffin and Quentin “Rampage” Jackson as they duke it out in the Octagon™. THQ has also sent over ten screenshots that can be viewed in the gallery below, and the announcement press release is after the jump. Of course, Nick linked it in his June 20th Scraps post, so you’ve all seen it already…right? Just nod politely for your own sake, lest you suffer Mr. Chester’s wrath. UFC 2009 Undisputed is set for release in the spring of 2009 for the PS3 and 360.
