Believe it or not, play-by-play commentary can have some vital importance in a sports game.  Have it running too long and it becomes irrelevant to what's happening in the game.  Make it too silly and it can take away from the seriousness of your contest.  Make it disjointed and it sounds like a hideous mess.  There's a proper tone you have to nail when it comes to doing running commentary, but THQ recognizes this, as the development team has worked very closely to making UFC Undisputed 3's commentary better than ever.

As you saw from a report that we posted this weekend, Microsoft had big problems with its UFC on Xbox Live app.  Despite allowing select users to watch the fight for free, there were a number of technical errors that marred the experience, mainly the lack of a solid video feed and the inability to watch an offered replay.  But Microsoft is aware of said problems, and is promising to make the matter right for subscribers.

Since the Wii came out, we've been inundated and inundated with fitness title after fitness title. Some do it wonderfully--a game like EA Active comes to mind, while others, shall we call them shovelware fitness titles, tend to just plain suck. Yes, it's difficult for me to throw the word suck around, but think of all the mediocre fitness titles that have come to your motion controlled consoles. And now here comes UFC Personal Trainer, which in my opinion is the savior I was looking for as it related to fitness games.
