THQ reveals WWE games (GCN)

No matter what your system, THQ has you in a virtual headlock with the WWE.

THQ revealed some new details today on their forthcoming World Wrestling Entertainment games.

First off comes news of their latest PlayStation 2 wrestling game, titled WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw . The game is once again being developed by Yukes Entertainment and will feature more realistic graphics, more playable modes, and an interesting twist on the story mode, allowing WWE Smackdown stars to invade Raw and vice versa, leading to some interesting match-ups.

THQ will also be showing off WWE: Day of Reckoning for the Nintendo GameCube, which is jam packed with new features and better graphics than the previous WWE Wrestlemania XIX release.

But the big news comes in the form of an announcement for a new WWE game for the Xbox. Instead of a new WWE Raw chapter, the game will be called WWE Wrestlemania XXI, and will be developed by Studio Gigante (the developers behind Tao Feng for Xbox). Sounds promising.

Finally, a new WWE game is in the works for the Game Boy Advance. Titled WWE Survivor Series, the game follows in the tradition of offering great wrestling for the portable.

Strangely enough, THQ has none of these games slated for a showing at next week's E3 event, but they may have a surprise on hand to keep WWE fans in check. Keep it here for all the coverage.
