Actually, I used to read OPM. I'm pretty sure it's always been called that, too. the old OPM went out of print a while back, so sony bought PSM and renamed it* I actually made a mistake. Its called Playstation: The Official Magazine(Or POM) I just find it funny because about 3 months before the buyout, PSM wrote and article basically saying not to buy a PS3(this was before the price cut). I'm glad I gave up on PSM a while ago. I just couldn't afford a system specific magazine, and GI was getting better stuff out there. I actually miss the old PSM, really. I liked the old crew with Chris Slade and Bill and those guys, and they used to give free shit out all the time. Now, it's a shell of it's former self. And it getting bought by Sony pretty much shoots the pride they toopk of being independent completely out of the water.

Rick Steiner vs Someone I Haven't Renamed Yet Steiner, at the end of the match, grabbed Someone and did the Release German Suplex....right next to the ropes. Someone soared out of the ring, hit his head on the apron for a critical, then bounced and rolled out for the countout. Utterly sick. I <3 Fire Pro. Quite a Holy Crap moment I bet. On the old Fire Pro Wrestling: Six Man Scramble game, I had Rick Steiner going up against Sting. The match went back and forth for like 20 minutes and I hit the Release German Suplex on the Stinger. And in that arena, it sent him flying over the top rope and landing on the back of his head on the entrance ramp. I figured that I had nearly killed him, so I stood in the ring waiting for the count out ... Well, Sting got up and entered the ring and I went for another move ... which got reversed and I got thrown into the turnbuckle and nailed with what looked like the Stinger Splash in the corner. And then I was put in the Scorpion Deathlock and I eventually tapped out. Well, I got this game yesterday and waited for this morning to play it. The match that I want to eventually set up is Vader vs. Hogan in a death match of sorts. And if I have to make the wrestlers, so be it. And I almost forgot ... I think I'm going to make a referee, and his name will be Steve Mazzagati. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Vader is in it.

EGM didn't review FirePeo either. This game is just getting no respect. Gamestop claims its a B-Title and thats why they still dont have it in stock,despite the fact the guy working the counter claims they are getting 50 calls a week on the game. I bet if the game was 50 dollars they would have had it the day it came out. Luckily my copy is sitting under the christmas tree because my ife was smart enough to just go online and order it.

Luckily my copy is sitting under the christmas tree because my ife was smart enough to just go online and order it. i really think a lot of magazines either don't know about it, or feel since it's a budget title, it doesn't need to be reviewed in their magazine. Which is a shame, because this is a very viable alternative to the stagnant SD series. And is better in many respects. So it's lacking in high profile exposure. I'm more disappointed in GI, because they did a short preview of the game, so they know it's there. And they have focused on budget titles before. Also, according to FPClub, apparently the game is being sold in Dollar General stores as well, for anyone who may have one local. Still 15 bucks, tho, not a dollar. ;D

As much as people say that print is dead, it's still good to see an overwhelming positive review out in a venue where more people would casually see it, rather than having to search it out.

I also have to say this game is awesome. Last night, I was having a match featuring two character from an e fed I'm in, which was a barbwire deathmatch. Around the fifteen minute mark, just as the computer was about to use their finisher on me, the timed explosion went off... knocking both of us and the ref down. I was then able to get up first, then finish them off immediately after by knocking him out.

I just thought of something. Let's say you're playing an exploding barbed wire deathmatch, and your finisher is the Ultimate Muscle Buster (the one where you jump ten feet in the air). What if you're flying into the air, and at the peak of your ascent, the ring explodes?

I'm going to have to try that later.

Let me share this with you.
My college is trying for a game club, and during an exhibition of Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, and they were asking for people to sign up, and give their name, email, and also a few of the games they want to see played there. I signed up, and wrote my name and address, and then I saw some of the games other guys were suggesting. The 3 most prevalent names were Madden, Halo, and Street Fighter. I broke the chain, and wrote down KOF XI and, more importantly, Fire Pro.
A few minutes later, I'm talking with a friend of mine, and I ask him if he signed up. I mention the games I wrote down, and the guy tells me that, after I left, one of the heads of the club saw the list and saw that I wrote Fire Pro. The guy was surprised, saying "Who wrote down Fire Pro? I want to shake his hand!" and wanted to know who did it, cause he loved it.
I hope this club forms, cause I want to play some other people in this.
