Fight Night Round 3 (Xbox 360)

With Creed III in theatres, and everyone from TikTok stars to NBA players trying to step into the squared circle, we thought we'd use this week to play one of the greatest boxing video games of all time: Fight Night Round 3! When it first came out in 2006 it was known as one of the most gorgeous games we'd ever seen. But this love letter to the sweet science used an innovative control scheme to give us what many consider to be the greatest translation of boxing to a controller we've ever gotten. 17 years later, will all of the innovations start to show their age? Or can this game still answer the bell? Plus: updates on our progress with Far Cry 6 and Cyberpunk: 2077!
