The Week In Games

THQ’s simulation of men kicking, punching and cuddling each other is comfortably the biggest release of the week. I don’t understand it, even though – apparently – I’m in it.

The lads over at THQ reckon I’m the spitting image of fighter Dustin Hazelett, pictured above. I reckon we both have facial hair.

That’s about it for my knowledge of UFC, both as a sport and a videogame. So, tell me, UFC fans, why are you buying this game this week?

New releases for the w/c May 24:

Alpha Protocol (360, PS3, PC)
What Is It? Action-RPG in a Mass Effect vein set in a contemporary world of international espionage.
Should You Care? Obsidian fans should be excited. And when was the last time you saw a spy RPG?

Backbreaker (360, PS3)
What Is It? American football sim that lacks the NFL license but boasts procedurla animation system Euphoria, as seen in Red Dead Redemption and GTA IV.
Should You Care? I’m not sure if you do, but regular Kotaku commenter FatShady certainly does.

Blur (360, PS3)
What Is It? Mario Kart with sportscars.
Should You Care? Project Gotham devs Bizarre Creations certainly know how to make a racing game.

No More Heroes 2 (Wii)
What Is It? Follow-up to Suda51’s quite bonkers parody of action game heroes.
Should You Care? This sequel is slightly less bonkers, but turns out to be a better game.

Pure Football (360, PS3)
What Is It? A football game from Ubisoft. I literally know nothing more about this game.
Should You Care? I… uh… erm… have no idea!

Scene It? Twilight (Wii)
What Is It? Trivia game that is playable only twice a day.
Should You Care? Or something like that.

SingStar: The Wiggles (PS2)
What Is It? Karaoke game with songs by The Wiggles. Out this week on PS2 and later this year on PS3.
Should You Care? It’s got “Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car”.

UFC Undisputed 2010 (360, PS3, PSP)
What Is It? Mixed martial arts fighting game that features someone who looks like me.
Should You Care? Apparently you should, but I honestly don’t know why.
