IncGamers' Andy Alderson gets back inside the Octagon with UFC Undisputed 2010. From the review:
"This, the rubber-match, is the decider. I decide to throw caution to the wind and charge straight at him, as the ref starts round two, and throw an heroic, although admittedly stupid, superman punch. Which he promptly avoids, before landing an uppercut to my chin rocking me severely (and not in a Kiss way). I stagger backwards and he smells blood, throwing a vicious flurry before an elbow to the jaw sends my gum-shield flying and I slump to the canvas like a bag of bones. As Leben celebrates wildly, I realise two things: 1) I'm an idiot and 2) this is brilliant."

GXC: "Have you ever heard that Trophy ding, that Achievement bloop to see a title jokingly referencing your favorite movie so cleverly that you bust out in laughter?

Taking the extra time to appeal to a much broader fanbase is always respected in the gaming community, so here are 15 awesome references seen in trophies and achievements."
I think Lego Lord Of The Rings at least deserves an honourable mention
Trophy - One does not simply...
Earned - Walk into Mordor.
Made me laugh :)
Man, those presentation improvements sound amazing. I never got into the first game as I didn't have too much time to get into it, and it felt a little overcomplicated for the few rounds I played, but this sounds like it's got a load of what I really want from sports games - personality. I'm going to have to consider picking this up.
Sounds flipping awesome, although I'd heard the animation was a bit wooden.
