Atari’s new arcade boxing game “Ready 2 Rumble Revolution” for the Wii is the latest in the series that has a colorful history of characters, from cover boy Afro Thunder to Michael Jackson. The newest iteration of the game doesn’t have any of the classic characters, but introduces a whole new cast of fighters – many of which appear to have taken their inspiration from well-known celebrities. For example, take the two boxers in our exclusive trailer below, Sweet King and The Puglitator, one appears to be based on Vanilla Ice’s worst nightmare, and the other looks like one of the best dressed men in comedy, but I’ll let you be the judge of that. Check out this exclusive look at “Ready 2 Rumble Revolution” for the Wii.

Sup folks. With 2009 blazing by we are right on the eve of an important month for Black people, Black History month. With all the change that has come and the many more to go, TrueGameHeadz have decided to take a look at the state of the gaming industry and see how black characters are being represented in the industry.

Not too long ago, we wouldn’t be able to make it to 20, but i’m happy to say that I’ve actually had to leave some characters off the list. First here’s the criteria to make this list.

You cannot be a representation of a real person, so no Michael Jackson Moonwalker, or and Sports characters like Tiger Woods.
The character needs to have a meaningful role in the game and not just a cameo.
I’ve generally left our 2d characters from the SNES generation and focused on the more recent iterations.

That’s it, feel free to debate and argue about who should be on or off as we reveal a new character every weekday of February.
