WWE Wrestlemania 2013

WWE • Apr 7, 2013

Another WWE year has gone by and WRESTLEMANIA 2013 is upon us. As a long time WWE fan I have to be honest. I remember in the past the time from THE ROYAL RUMBLE to WRESTLEMANIA was always crazy. Story lines played throughout the year come into play in those few months and end at the big pay-per-view. Now, in the last few years, it seems as if they just randomly put some matches together. Where has THE ROCK been since last year’s WRESTLEMANIA. I know that he’s done stuff, he’s odviously the champion, but nothing has happened between him and John Cena since last years show.

I honestly just don’t get it. If these people want to headline Wrestlemania shouldn’t they wrestle all year?

Even after that mini-rant i’m still excited for the big show. TRIPLE H has been and always will be my favorite wrestler. I’m excited to see his match with Brock Lesnar but again, i’m still a bit bummed by the fact that there was really nothing leading up to this match. Did Triple H even wrestle at all since last year’s Wrestlemania? Oh well. I’m a big Stephanie McMahon too so i’m hoping that she will grace us with her presence!

I found The Undertaker Vs. CM Punk match to be interesting. It’s sad that Paul Bearer passed but the story line, in a creepy WWE sort of way, is interesting. It was a classic WWE way to create the rivalry. I loved it. Should be an interesting match. I hope that CM PUNK isn’t the one to break THE UNDERTAKERS record. It would just be weird. I’m just not a big CM PUNK FAN.

Are there any other matches on the roster??!! Just kidding. lol. There are plenty of more great matches on the roster but the top two are really the only two that i’m interested in. I’ve seen so many great matches over the years and Wrestlemania NEVER fails to disappoint. My favorite match of all time the MACMAHON IN EVERY CORNER match at WRESTLEMANIA 2000!  Tonight will be a great night!

Personal , Reviews , WWE • Dec 31, 2012

WWE13
Release: October 30, 2012
Platform: PS3, XBOX 360, Wii
Publisher: WWE and THQ
Genre:  Professional Wrestling
ESRB: T (content may be suitable for ages 13 and older)
Overall Rating: ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣

The game focuses on the Attitude Era of WWE, replacing its Road to WrestleMania Mode with an Attitude Era Mode where the player plays through the Attitude Era in 6 different storylines. The game also brings back its Predator Technology engine, adding in a new audio system called WWE Live. The game is said to be the second phase of a “Revolution” in WWE video games, with cover athlete CM Punk taking charge. Following release and positive reception, the game would be nominated for the Spike VGA for Best Individual Sports Game

There isn’t to much about this game that I can say that hasn’t already been said on sites such as IGN, WWE Games, Gamespot, IMDB, and many others! For video games fanatics, sports freaks, and WWE fans alike this game is absolutely top-notch! I have been playing WWE video games since their Nintendo 64 release of WWF NO MERCY. So many great games have come. Wrestlemania 2000, Smackdown! line, and Smackdown Vs. Raw line. Many more as well. WWE and THQ really revolutionized the sports entertainment video gaming experience with the initial launch of WWE 12. The gaming system was COMPLETELY resigned and made easy to use for every gamer young and old.

I have to be honest and say that although I miss the idea of the road to Wrestlemania mode I don’t miss the actual road to Wrestlemania. I am loving the attitude era mode. I began my journey with WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT back in 1998 when the attitude era was really beginning to kick off. I was HUGE DX/HHH/Stephanie McMahon fan and remained that way until today. Side note, i’m a bit bummed HHH is retiring (for now) and that he cut his hair! This installment from the WWE franchise of games really was a well loved trip down memory lane.

Another great thing about this game is how easy it is to play. My one complaint with the game is that there is no training mode. My partner can’t play the game simply because I don’t have the patience to teach and he doesn’t have the patience to read the manual to learn. WWE 12 had a very annoying opening sequence to the game that slowly taught you how to play. I complained about that but now there is no way to learn how to play the game until you ACTUALLY play and read up a bit (if you’ve never played a WWE video game).

The game really makes up for this one spot it is lacking in how real the game looks. Check out Triple H’s entrance video below,

How awesome is that? I can not get over how real this game looks. There are a few annoying glitches in the game as far as graphics go but hell, its a video game. You can’t expect anything more. This game is a great play and can’t wait to get more game time in. Has anyone else played the game? Thoughts?
