Fighting the fight for WWE games on PC

Standard

Wrestling games are very often console exclusive. The last PC wrestling game was WWE Raw, released in 2002. The next scheduled wrestling game is Pro Wrestling X, currently available on Steam Early Access.

Last year saw the release of WWE 2K15, the first WWE game for next generation consoles. Everyone was excited as 2K kept gamers waiting anxiously, slowly releasing information in tiny bite sized pieces.

Months before its release several rumours began circling the web about a potential PC release, which no doubt made PC gamers, such as myself, very excited.

However, with the game now being released since November last year, and no further news of a PC release coming out, all hope is now lost.

Next year, however, the game may be released on PC, and here are my top 4 reasons why WWE games should enter the PC market.

5 Star Wrestling, PS3’s best wrestling game

Standard

‘Raging’ Andy Organ charged at Mike Iceberg with venomous intent. Iceberg dodged the clothesline, spun Organ around and went to nail him with a brutal iceberg slam. However, at the last second, Organ managed to twist the momentum around, nailing Iceberg with an RAO from out of nowhere. Both men laid flat on the ground. The tension rose. It could have been cut with a knife. However, Organ managed to dive up to his feet a few seconds before Iceberg, giving him a perfect opening to deliver a brutal punt to the side of Icebergs head, falling atop his foe and gaining the 1…2…3

The ending of the match was amazing, and that was only a 4 star match, the 5 star ones are Wrestlemania worthy main events.
