WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 beefed up for mobile

Did you know, ex-Baywatch star Carmen Electra is involved with something called the Naked Women's Wrestling League? No, really. We got sent a press release about it the other day. If that's not proof the world's going to Hell in an increasingly wobbly handcart, we don't know what is.

In contrast, the traditional WWE doesn't have any naked female wrestlers, although if TV ratings begin to slide, we wouldn't put it past them to try. So hairy-handed wrestling pervs among you won't be that interested in WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008, which is coming out later this year.

The rest of us will, though. The game will let you create and customise your own WWE wrestler, as well as featuring 12 real-life grapplers – Cena, Orton, Triple H, Edge, HBK, Lashley, Snitsky, Bandito The Flying Mexican Banana, Corvon, Batista, Mysterio, Kane and the Undertaker. (We made one of those up, can you tell which?)

The game will come in 2D and 3D versions (the screenshots above are from the latter), and will let you fight in regular, hardcore or cage matches. Publisher THQ Wireless also says the controls will be the most accessible yet in a WWE mobile game.

Click 'Track It!' to get the naked truth when we review the game. No, not that kind of naked...
