Streamed Game of the Day - Smackdown Here Comes the Pain

So I guess I should first share you with all I'm a big fan of WWE wrestling. I've been watching it since the 80's and 90's. I was there when the Shockmaster fell through the prop akwardly, I was there for the great Hulk Hogan heel turn, I was there when Undertaker threw Mankind off the Hell in the Cell. I love wrestling. I subscribe to the WWE Network for .....NINE NINETY NINE! With that being said I've also loved playing wrestling games. Mostly the US wrestling games have sucked throughout the years except for the AKI games on N64. In the early 2000's I found myself mainly playing Japanese wrestling games like AJPW Kings Soul for PSX and Fireprowrestling for Dreamcast and then PSX. I saw the Smackdown games from Yukes coming out but never felt any interest. Well recently I decided to get Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain because I saw so many people saying what a great game it was... and boy are they right!!! This is an amazing wrestling game! You can repeat moves... its not just a button masher if you know what you're doing. Guys stay down when you perform a big move on them. There are so many wrestlers and modes it's unreal. I was up until 3am playing this game last night. It's absolutely unbelievable. You can purchase the game from Ebay or maybe a local game shop that still has old PS2 games. 

If you don't have a PS2 you will need PCSX2 which is a PS2 emulator for the PC. On your Shield, you can either setup PCSX2 to run directly from GeForce Experience, or you can add the executable to Steam. Some people have issues getting the controller to work but I haven't had any issues. I'll add a how to video to get this emulator running in the very near future. Check out the video below to see Here Comes the Pain in action. Til next time!
