Fight Night Round 4: Coming Soon

The article I chose to talk about this week again has to do with Microsoft's Xbox gaming system. Again I would consider myself to be somewhat of a "gamer and one thing I look forward to is the release of new games. One of Electronic Arts' flagship games and really a huge title for Xbox since the system came out has been a boxing simulation titled "Fight Night". Fans of this game have been waiting for a new release since 2005 and this summer the game is set to debut. This article is a question and answer session with some of the creators of the game discussing new features and expectations. One thing that every boxing/video game fan has been looking for since Nintendo's Punch Out game is Mike Tyson's character being included. Finally, Fight Night Round 4 features the pre-delinquent Iron Mike, one of the more feared and respected boxers of all-time. The game promises to contain a much more realistic and in depth career mode, where players create themselves and can fight their way through selected weight classes in route to a title belt. Other features being promoted are a larger roster of boxers from current stars to all of the greats. The game promises to be the most realistic boxing simulation of all-time, making players use stategy to win, rather than stand toe to toe and unrealistically slug it out. Just looking at the promo video at the start of the website has garnered some excitement from me and I am excitedly awaiting its release this summer. Xbox and EA continue to push the boundaries with their games and excite fellow gamers.
