The series that defined this generation is back.

March 12, 2009 - Remember when the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were first announced? The games industry was aflutter wondering what the era of high-definition gaming would look like on our shiny new HDTVs. Then a game called Fight Night Round 3 was shown at E3 in 2005 and our worlds were never the same. On the screen before us stood two of the shiniest, prettiest character models ever in a videogame. Their faces crinkled with every punch, sweat flew around with every jolt of their body and they moved with the type of precision usually reserved for Pay-Per-View. Yes, a new age of gaming had indeed begun. But now we're nearly four years removed from the first time people saw the spectacle that was Fight Night Round 3. EA Chicago is no more, Kudo Tsunoda (Executive Producer on FNR3 and GM of EA Chicago) is now with Microsoft, and EA Vancouver has been handed the reins on Fight Night Round 4; a game many consider to be the biggest sports release of the year.
