WASHINGTON (Map, News) - “Prizefighter,” 2K’s answer to EA’s “Fight Night” series, has gone down in the first round.

The facial emotion on the characters is extraordinary, expressing realistic and gruesome pain, but movement is mechanical and the end result is a creepy, sweaty game of Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots.

The campaign mode sports an interesting documentary-style approach, interviewing boxing greats and former girlfriends of your character, “The Kid.”

More God of War PSP info needed said:
Does this version of God of War have the same Quick-Time Events, that require no strategy beyond pressing a designated button when it appears on screen? Does it have those horribly sluggish "climbing" sequences? Those repetitive "flying" sequences? Are the sequences long and common throughout the game, or are they more limited in length and frequency than in the past two games?
