THQ has launched a pair of interesting Facebook games that should interest fans of WWE, UFC, and men crawling around in bikini briefs. For those that prefer sports entertainment there’s WWE All Stars Fantasy Warfare. Here’s the official description:
The WWE All Stars Fantasy Warfare Application is a deep interactive video experience that showcases five Fantasy Warfare matchups between one WWE Superstar and one WWE Legend. Matchups feature a gameplay video in which users can choose from their favorite signature maneuvers to determine how they would finish off their opponent. It’s up to you to determine the greatest WWE Superstars of all time!
If you’re looking for more realistic Facebook violence then you should check out UFC Undisputed Fight Nation:
THQ Inc and Zuffa, LLC today announced the latest edition to the prominent UFC Undisputed sports videogame franchise with the launch of UFC Undisputed Fight Nation, the first official Facebook game based on the world’s leading mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The interactive experience, developed by Embassy Interactive and available on Facebook allows players to take control of their virtual UFC careers in a fun and engaging environment by training moves, competing against others and sharing their results on Facebook, as well as enabling them to successfully manage their progress for the opportunity to compete against many of the UFC’s most renowned fighters.
It’s very cool that THQ is using social media to extend two of its most prominent franchises. It’s a great way to sustain interest between releases and generate hype prior to a launch. Whether it’s men in tights or swords & sorcery, you better get used to Facebook games based on your favorite console and PC titles. You’re going to see tons more in the immediate future.
If you get a chance to check out either Facebook game, please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
