Press Release
Guildford, UK. – March 17, 2010 – Black Box, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that SKATE™ 3, the latest installment in the award-winning franchise, will be in stores in the UK on May14th, 2010. Redefining the skateboarding experience, SKATE 3 breaks new ground by letting gamers build their ultimate skate team both offline and co-operatively* to take on new challenges or competitive battles against other teams.
“Since the very beginning of the Skate franchise, we have captured the true essence skateboarding, be it from the feel of nailing that perfect trick, to the feeling of just hanging out and sessioning with your friends,” said Jason DeLong, Senior Producer. “For us, SKATE 3 is the culmination of this endeavor – the most connected, accessible and social skateboarding experience yet.”
In the all-new Skate.School, Coach Frank acts as a mentor and teaches newcomers the ropes by showing them all the ins-and-outs of skateboarding as they hone their skills on the sticks before hitting the streets with their team. Veterans will also feel right at home in Skate.School as they refresh their skills but also learn all the new tricks SKATE 3 has to offer including darkslides and underflips.
Gamers can hit the streets with the pros in the all-new city of Port Caverton – a true skater’s paradise with unique districts, skate parks, and endless lines. For fans with a creative flair, the new Skate.Park editor allows gamers to create their own dream plaza or mega-ramp park from scratch or use the Object Dropper to alter the landscape of Port Carverton to truly change the face of the city. In the end, SKATE 3 delivers a completely immersive and connected experience giving gamers the tools to build and share their own skate parks, videos, and photos with all their friends by uploading them directly from their console or importing custom created graphics & logos from the Skate website*.
SKATE 3 features a deep roster of the world’s greatest skaters including several Thrasher Skater of the Year winners.

THQ Reveal UFC Undisputed 2010 Ultimate Fights Mode And Playstation 3 Exclusive Content
THQ Have announced that the Classic Fights Mode From UFC 2009 has been improved in UFC Undisputed 2010 and is now called Ultimate Fights Mode. Ultimate Fights Mode will give people the chance to play classic matches either single player or two player.
Each fight will start with a introduction from one of the UFC Octagon Girls, Arianny Celeste or Chandella Powell, who will break down the importance of the fight. this is followed by a pre-fight montage.
One of the biggest changes over last years game is that now there are multiple challenges in each fight, and the fights themselves have been categorized to show what type of fight they are. There is even the chance to play as the looser and try to change history by not loosing the fight.
UFC Undisputed 2010 will offer players 20 exclusive Ultimate Fights for the PlayStation 3, while Xbox 360 owners will have access to 15 Ultimate Fights.
The Sony-exclusive Ultimate Fights are:
Ultimate 2009 Category
UFN 18 – Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann
Ultimate Knockouts Category
UFC 102 – Nate Marquardt vs. Demian Maia
Ultimate Classics Category
UFC 60 – Matt Hughes vs. Royce Gracie
UFC 66 – Keith Jardine vs. Forrest Griffin
Ultimate Submissions Category
UFC 68 – Martin Kampmann vs. Drew McFredries
PS3 Exclusive Fights
Press Release
UFC Undisputed 2010
ULTIMATE FIGHTS MODE
Ultimate Fights Mode is the evolution of UFC 2009’s Classic Fights Mode and allows players to relive some of the more memorable fights in UFC history. Players are given the opportunity to play the mode as a single player experience in an attempt to unlock content associated with each fight. Players can also play the mode as a two-player experience, squaring off against friends with special presentation and commentary elements.
Each fight opens with an introduction from one of the UFC Octagon Girls, Arianny Celeste or Chandella Powell, who break down the significance of each fight. Following the introduction, a pre-fight montage is played with comments from each fighter and a brief history on how the fight came to fruition. Once the prefight montage is over, the basic match flow occurs and gameplay begins.
The main difference between Classic Fights from last year and the Ultimate Fights for UFC Undisputed 2010 is the introduction of Fight Categories and Multiple Challenges for each fight. Assigning each fight to a category helps structure the mode and allows players to easily identify each type of fight, while the introduction of Multiple Challenges for each fight adds replayability to the mode.
Another new component is the ability to “play as the spoiler” (or the fighter who lost in real life) and provide additional challenges and unlocks associated with the losing fighter, where players look to “rewrite history.”
Upon completing all the challenges, the player unlocks the ultimate reward – a montage that recaps the actual Ultimate Fight itself.
UFC Undisputed 2010 will offer players 20 exclusive Ultimate Fights for the PlayStation 3, while Xbox 360 owners will have access to 15 Ultimate Fights. The Sony-exclusive Ultimate Fights list is as follows:
Ultimate 2009 Category
UFN 18 – Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann
Ultimate Knockouts Category
UFC 102 – Nate Marquardt vs. Demian Maia
Ultimate Classics Category
