Review

In reality, boxing is a highly methodical sport, requiring the ability to think tactically under immense pressure and not forget the threat of your opponent's massive fists ready to machine gun your face into a bloody pulp. Boxing games on the other hand are largely the opposite. Unfettered scraps with little or no tactical framework, failing to capture the true feeling of the sport. EA's Fight Night Round 4 transcends the stereotype, delivering an intense and truly immersing experience.

For the love of...Punch-Out!! by Dave Cook | 22-04-09

With a Wii remake coming out soon, we reckoned it was high time to revisit this superb 1987 boxing classic. Originally released on the NES, Punch-Out!! may look like a simple title, but it has heaps of character, a fun fighting system and larger than life characters. Playing as rookie boxer Little Mac, you must rise up through the ranks of the World Video Boxing Association with the help of your faithful trainer Doc Louis. It's a real rags to riches underdog story as Mac battles his way against the odds to the win the world title.
