We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

Story developing...

No it's not a joke. RIP Thriller.

While on hand for another UFC press conference in So-Cal, the game which is slated to be released a month from tomorrow, Cory Ledesma(who is not a part of the production team resposible for the new UFC title, but is apart of THQ) was asked about the up coming WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 game by interviewer Jason Powell. Ledesma had the following to say:

"Well, Im on hand as a guest. I knew I'd have to address this question sooner or later. Me and the team have been trying to lurk in the dark, trying to avoid it. But I'll let you guys in. Before though, be sure to download the new update roster pack for WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 from the Live Market and PSN. You are now able to compete as legendary superstars and tag team: Doink The Clown, The Bushwackers, Earthquake, and none other than Vader! And for you Legend hungry fans out there, you are now able to Relive, Rewrite and Redefine the greatest Wrestlemania moments in history with the new WWE Legends Of Wrestlemania game, out now for the PS3 and Xbox360. When it boils down to the up coming WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 game not much can be obviously said at the moment. Our last game, 2009, is still hot right now. We've just released new content for it and we also have the Legends game which is selling great and is receiving rave reviews. We understand that our fans are hungry, but we must be patient. The up coming game has been in development for quite some time, though. We actually started it while we were in the middle of developing 2009! We've yet to do that with ANY Smackdown Vs Raw franchise. All I can say is that when it comes to comparison, Grand Theft Auto 4, which we have no relation too ofcourse, was a great game, and it redefined gaming in that genre and also set a new sub par for the franchise! But with Smackdown vs Raw 2009 being the blow off to an incredible journey we've had since 2006, we will now soon enter a new era.

Apparently this was sent out by Gamefly Mobile.

My only gripe so far is the lack of a mode to use the regular UFC guys in a career type setting. I'd like to be able to select Anderson Silva and be thrust into his UFC career defending his title and trying to make it into the UFC hall of fame as well.

I really wish they would just make a CAW uploading system similar to the way most sports games make sliders and rosters that are created by other people to be uploaded and downloaded by anyone. The system they used before in the SVR was a good idea but a pain in the ass for anyone who didn't have any good CAWs to trade.

If that is paid DLC, who would actually pay for Badder and Escuadero?

Nobody. They're free if you pre-order through Gamestop though.

I'm guessing Couture will be a unlockable legend. Awesome to see Evan Tanner in there. Noticeable absences just glancing at it include Clay Guida and Shane Carwin. The fact that Escudero and Bader will be DLC makes me think we might get additional fighters added later on down the line. I'm excited as hell!

In the newly released fighting styles video on IGN there is a quick shot of Chuck fighting Tito.

I took a little screencap. The tattoos on the back of the arms are a dead giveaway.

Ever try and sing the lyrics to Since You've Been Gone to the music of My Life Would Suck Without You? I'm convinced it's the same song.

I still have a feeling that Rampage is going to decline the fight in May. He stated numerous times that he felt he over trained for Jardine and didn't appear to be elated at the possibility of going right back into another training camp a few weeks from now.

We got to see all but one fight on the card, there was a really nice KO and finishes from other fights, and a good main event to end the evening. Definitely a decent card that lacked the star power.

Am I the only one who can't stand Matt Hamill? I didn't care for his post fight jumping around and I don't recall him at least going over and seeing if Munoz was okay. I've heard stories about Hamill being a dick and a douchebag but I don't know for sure. Something just rubs me the wrong way about him, yes I get it he's deaf. I don't care. The retard cry at the end of his post fight interview didn't help things either.

I don't know if Lesnar could take Carwin. Unless he stuns Carwin he's probably not going to be able to get him down and there's no way he wants to strike with Carwin either. The one thing I've noticed about Carwin though is he seems to take a good shot or two every fight, it almost cost him this fight but I'm willing to bet Lesnar packs more power then anyone who has hit him so far. Assuming Lesnar gets by Frank Mur. Can't forget about Kongo either. Suddenly HW in the UFC doesn't seem so bad anymore.

Anyone else watching this show? It stars Danny McBride as Kenny Powers as a pro baseball player whose career starts off with a bang and pretty much fades just as quickly as it began and he ends up back in his hometown living with his older brother and his family. It's on HBO on Sundays and it's executive produced by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell. Ferrell actually had a cameo in the 2nd episode as a car salesman and he based the look on Ric Flair. Even threw in a couple of woos.

If you're a fan of the over the top Will Ferrell type comedy then you will definitely enjoy this. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

It seems like playing Arcade mode that I'll beat two people fairly easily on medium and then they'll have me fight someone who will just destroy me where they have the perfect counters for every move I do. Frustrating as hell.

Would liked to have seen Sid,Diesel,Razor,Owen Hart(as i already said)Bulldogg..Haku maybe? also what about Doink and Crush haha

Bulldog is in. Doink and Crush? Really?

I'm surprised Demolition isn't in. I do love the old school movesets. It'll be interesting to see how the gameplay is, It might be a little too simplified but I'll wait until I play.

I've always wanted Big John Studd in a game and my second favorite on this list is vintage HBK. The faces are all very well done too.

No it works with Xbox 360 too. I think I read somewhere that you can also reject abilities if you put in the code after you have the patch

The code doesn't work on Xbox yet. I just tried CASMAX and MAXCAS. What the hell is the deal with the patch? It's been what two weeks since PS3 got theirs?

360 here, no patch for me as of yet. Hopefully soon though.

Count me in as one of the people who don't understand how these guys are so popular. If you're into them that's cool but they just aren't for me.

I've had two different exhibition matches trying to get the WCW Classic Title off of Ric Flair. The first was a Elimination Chamber where it came down to my created guy who is only a 72 overall and him and he played possum twice and almost beat me and then ended up making me tap to some puny shoulder struggle submission. So then I put him into a Armageddon Hell In The Cell with 5 other guys and somehow he ends up schoolboying Matt Hardy and nobody notices to stop the count and wins. Right after you couldn't tell who won so I'm sitting here going who the hell won? Then it goes to goto the cutscene and you hear the WOO! from his music start and I just start laughing so hard. Good times.

Evan Bourne, Charlie Haas, Ted DiBiase Jr, and Chris Jericho alt. attire are being released as the first downloadable content pack.

I just saw this on WWE.com. 400 points isn't too bad either.

Will, I noticed that yesterday morning and I added you. I was on for awhile yesterday with B-Rad seeing if you happened to get online but it didn't work out. If there's a good time today let me know.

Here's my schedule for...well everyone but more specifically my Triple Threat Opponents.

Sunday-Wednesday I'm available anytime between 8:30am pacific time to 3:30pm pacific time.

Thursday-Saturday I'm pretty much available anytime after 8:30am on Thursday. Pacific time of course.

So let me know and let's do this. I'm looking forward to uhh winning? Yeah that's it!

Fuck sake. Me and Tristy just tried about five times, but it's refusing to work. He invited me, I invited him and both times it said this session is no longer available. I tried to create a match in Player Match Room and let him enter, it says loading and then it tells you it's no longer available, he also tried that. I've had this happen with one or two people, does anybody know what it is? I don't think it's either of our connections as I'm guessing he can play most people fine and I've played tonnes of matches, but it does come along once or twice where I go to enter a room and it says this shit. We tried numerous times though, so it wasn't some one off thing. Really annoying as I was hoping to get this done and really don't know what to say or try here.

Media and I were having this very same problem. It happened 3-4 times before I decided to just plug my internet directly into my Xbox instead of going through the router and then it worked.

EWBetter than U-topia? (Y)

But no really, just finished my match with Joe and MVP came out on top. Synapsis? Well it ended up outside pretty quickly at the beginning of the match, where MVP used the barricade, and then attempted to use the steps (But that was reversed). A couple back and forth moves in the ring, but I was able to get a finisher and signature. Hit the player's boot, then MVP's ballin elbow...of course that didn't put HHH out. Finished it with the standing player's boot in the ring a lil bit after.

Twas a good match, I got the hang of the reversals way too late in the match. MVP was getting a ton of them and it costs me. Pretty good match though. First time I didn't play with a total cheeser.

My CAF is a gutwrench pickup onto the shoulder and then he sorta rolls them over and drops them onto their belly while falling down also. It was a pretty simple combo to build but it looks pretty.

So far I haven't noticed any hiccups with SVR09 on my HD. It runs pretty smooth.

It makes me want to get rid of my Gamefly membership. It's perfect for someone who doesn't really play a whole lot of games.
