August 18, 2008 - For a few years now, the wrestling game business has been a one company show, but Midway will change all of that this September when the men and women from TNA elbow drop their way onto your favorite console. However, it's been hard to get a good look at TNA iMPACT!. IGNers have played the game at events, but we've never had the chance to just sit down and tear this game apart.
Thankfully, TNA-Listers is going to fix that and bring you along for the ride. iMPACT! is now in the office, and we're going to show you every wrestler and every finisher while giving you a little tidbit of how the day's brawler played. Look for updates Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week as the TNA-Lister battle it out in the game's armory venue and across the pond in England.
Ring the damn bell.

What is there to say about Sting? He's the man.
For more than 20 years, Sting's been tearing dudes apart on TV screens across the world much to the delight of professional wrestling fans. His career started with a man that would go on to become the Ultimate Warrior, he was the face of WCW, he's battled the biggest names, and he's been the TNA champ twice. His career is the stuff of legend -- a tale that's summed up with a black bat and some face paint.
Although TNA iMPACT! -- at least in my office build -- doesn't have character-specific taunts, the game does a pretty good job of capturing the flair that makes Sting stand out. He enters with his black trench coat and bat, his face paint looks intimidating as ever, and after nailing an opponent with the Scorpion Death Drop, Sting raises his hands to his mouth for the traditional battle cry.
Aside from those standout moments, Sting's got a smattering of moves we've seen before such as a belly-to-belly suplex, neckbreaker, and a stiff looking punch. Still, playing as the Sting character feels good, looks good, and is fun.
Wooooooooo!
