If you like your video game reviews with satire, but without the snobbishness that professional reviewers inevitably have, then Fourth and Fifty is your destination for the one review we've done so far.  

THQ’s UFC Undisputed 2009 is the re-reconceputalization of mixed martial arts for gaming. There have been several prior UFC games, but they all were “teh suxors.”

Now that MMA has grown tremendously in popularity, it only makes sense that the video game genre gets a reboot. Undisputed ‘09 is the first in the series of what is sure to be yearly iterations, ala Madden and other major franchises.

The virginal undertaking for any franchise is usually a scrappy but flawed effort, as the developer is usually starting from scratch.

This is absolutely true for Undisputed—it does a number of things well for a first-timer, but there are certainly areas for improvement as the series moves forward. Overall a solid effort.  Click to our blog for the full review and some pictures and cusswords:
