Games on the I-Phone are grabbing everyones attention


Hi guys, it's been a while. Now I’m back and will be filling you in with all the new games I have experienced in recent times. BUT I had to write this short compliment to EA who have really got a good understanding on the little device and worked it brilliantly!
Its early days in my testing but it has thumbs up from me all round.
Game play is very good, and so are the graphics, it feels like a PSP game! Nice sound effects, with some clear cut songs. One thing I would complain about is the lack of online game play, this would make it endless fun between friends while they are apart!
Check out here soon for some more updates!

Round 3! here we go, POW!


Well, well, well what have we got here. I remember the days of Super Punch Out (SNES) having my boxing raving family by the TV and giving each other’s blows. BUT MAn have we come a long way. I was always impressed with the first Fight Night on the XBOX by EA, I recall myself thinking “this is the best boxing game ever” which was probably true to the nature of lack of competition, taking nothing away from EA off course.

So we had the popcorn ready, PS3 ready with a crisp Plasma and guess what a copy of Fight Night 3 as well. Boys beings boys there were a few drinks about and jokes going round, some were even smoking outside as we don’t want our PS3 or TV anywhere near smoke! Initially I was very impressed with the graphics! It was giving out some of its own uppercuts on that merit! As I was used to the game play I got the hang of it easily, for newbie’s it can take some getting used to. I felt there wasn’t really much between this version and number 2 other than the visuals and new awesome tracks but the first thing I did was to see if they had IRON MIKE but was annoyingly disappointed. Overall we had a good time; I gave out some HARDCORE beats before calling it a night! My friend Christopher Evangelou was with us and he is an amateur boxer, turning pro soon. I asked him what he thought about it, and he gave two thumbs up!

I wanted to be more critical, what I found was the physics of the game not being that realistic. For example when you power punch the body I expect the muscle to move slightly or the elbow to twitch if blocking, I felt like I was punching STEEL! But I am being overly critical, other than that I felt the overall speed of the game was slightly on the slower side, not like the original. Perhaps all those slick graphics take their toll like a few jabs to the processor.lol What I did like was the coaches tips in between rounds which I found useful. And I’m sure the single player option must be good in career mode if they have followed and improved from previous outings.

But seriously I would give it an 8/10 and recommend it to all my friends, some online showdowns would be fun! Maybe 2k’s Prizfighter will make EA to watch their backs with their new release but I seriously doubt it.

Remember guys Lets Keep It Clean!
