Def Jam Vendetta is a professional wrestling video game that combined hip hop with pro wrestling. It was released for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube. It was Electronic Arts' first attempt at a wrestling game since the widely-panned WCW Backstage Assault. The game's engine was originally designed for use in a sequel to EA's WCW Mayhem, but EA lost the WCW license when the wrestling company was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation in 2001. So far two sequels have been released; 2004's Def Jam: Fight for NY (which had its own spin-off, 2006's Def Jam Fight for NY: The Takeover) and 2007's Def Jam: Icon.
