THQ UFC Undisputed 2010

The slick interface, brutal knockouts, and technical sophistication found in last year's title helped turn a legion of gamers into fans of mixed-martial arts, but gamers have even more reason to be excited this year as Undisputed 2010 is a vast improvement in pretty much every key area. It's a terrific follow-up to what was an already excellent game, and it should help elevate the stature of the UFC to untold heights.
