Introduction

Much like the popular EA Sports line, whenever a new year draws near, there will always be a new wrestling title, complete with updated rosters, moves and techniques. This year is no different, with THQ leading the sub-genre to new destinations. Their latest title is WWE Day of Reckoning, a follow-up to the fantastic Wrestlemania XIX, which was released last year. Featuring a completely revamped story mode (none of that Revenge mode crap from WMXIX!) and a roster featuring John Cena, Kurt Angle and Shelton Benjamin, this year's best wrestling game just might be on the GameCube!

Editors Note: Andrew Alfonso knows way too much about wrestling for his own good. Thus, we have been forced to send him to Japan where he will enjoy the fruits of Japanese culture. Especially their women. Guide by: Andrew Alfonso
