• How Do You Like Your Boxing Games?

  Games always come in two's. For DJ Hero, there is Scratch. For inFAMOUS, there was Prototype. Now you've got two boxing games that will be competing for your affection and savings.

  

  In the red corner, we have Punch-Out, a reboot of the franchise designed for the Nintendo Wii. The game features a lot of rival boxers from the original Nintendo game and seems to cater to the old Nintendo crowd: simple controls and cartoonish displays.

  

  In the blue corner, we have Fight Night Round 4, EA Canada's stab at the realistic boxing game, which of course features classic boxers and more real-world physics. According to Ryan McCaffrey of Official Xbox Magazine, "You will get punched in the face, and you will love it."

  Both games are well-reviewed by critics, but to say the games are the same would obviously be erroneous. You might have both games, but for those of us who are being selective about things, the battle might come down to whether or not you like your games true to life or not. So, we at HardestLevel ask:

  Punch-Out or Fight Night? And do you prefer it because it's more or less realistic?
