The popularity of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) as a sport has blown up in recent years, amassing a fan following to rival and exceed other full contact fighting sports like boxing and professional wrestling.
As with any popular sport, videogames based on MMA have surfaced to provide fans with another way of enjoying their favourite pastime, and the last few years have seen the release of titles to allow players to step into the famed ‘Octagon’ fighting cage and do battle with household name fighters.
Next week, 505 Games and developer Kung Fu Factory will release an MMA game of their own. Titled Supremacy MMA, this game will aim to offer a little something different to what MMA fans are used to by providing a title that blends traditional MMA fighting styles with brutal arcade gameplay.
Let’s find out more about Supremacy MMA!
Last year 505 Games published Grease: The Game on Wii and DS. The game featured songs and dance routines from the 1978 musical, as well as a variety of entertaining multiplayer modes.
The Wii version was developed by British-based studio Zoë Mode, whose previous work includes the SingStar and EyeToy: Play franchises. Today 505 Games announced that the developer will be bringing Grease to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with Kinect and PS Move integration respectively.

Fans of soccer are spoilt for choice in the videogame arena, with two excellent titles in the form of FIFA and Winning Eleven releasing like clockwork each year.
Rugby fans, on the other hand, have very little to choose from in the way of game adaptations of this sport. There were a couple of rugby titles on the PS2, Xbox and PC but nothing has come our way for a number of years now.
That’s all set to change later this year, when Rugby World Cup 2011 releases for Xbox 360 and PS3 in August to coincide with the official tournament taking place in New Zealand (go Bokke!).
505 Games has popped a demo for American football game Backbreaker on Xbox LIVE. PS3 owners will have to wait a little while for the demo, which apparently will be available soon.
The demo will give players the chance to choose from one of six teams to play in exhibition mode, testing their mettle on the gridiron under different weather conditions in the San Francisco stadium. You’ll also be able to hone your running, passing, kicking and tackling skills in the training camp mode.

505 Games has revealed its plans to release the first Xbox 360 WWII submarine combat game.

For close on two decades now, members of the male population have been left puzzling over their female counterparts fascination with the music from the popular high school musical Grease. And while just the mention of the word Grease has no doubt just caused the words of ‘Greased Lightning’ and ‘You’re the One that I Want’ to come flooding back into your mind, publisher 505 Games has decided to capitalize on the success of this iconic 50s’ themed film by teaming up with Paramount Digital Entertainment to bring Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsen to the videogame arena for the first time.
Having snagged the global publishing rights, 505 Games will be bringing Grease the videogame to the Nintendo DS and Wii. The Grease videogame will allow players to sing and dance in the shoes once filled by John Travolta and Oliver Newton John in the iconic film that was released in 1978.
