Fight Night Round 3 - Image 1More than the screens, trailers, reviews, and videos, it's news like this that can effectively hype up games and convince consumers to go out and grab a copy of a game.

Especially for gamers who put graphics before gameplay, bagging an award for a game's Visual Effects is a sure shot of peaking their interest for a game.

So. The "visuals people" (a.k.a. Christopher Sjoholm, Kat Kelly Hayduk, Rob Hilson, and Celia Jepson) behind Fight Night Round 3 (Xbox360, PSP, PS3) just won the Outstanding Real Time Visuals in a Video Game award at the recently held 5th annual VES Awards. EA faced tough competition from Ubisoft's equally stunning Assassin's Creed (Xbox360, PS3), but at the end of it all, EA still got into the ring and stepped up to the fight (so to speak).

Assassin's Creed's E3 trailer was also nominated for the Outstanding Pre-Rendered Visuals in a Video Game award, alongside Hellgate: London's E3 trailer and a CG sequence from Warhammer Fantasy. But as of this writing, no winners have been announced for that category. We'll keep you posted for more.

This game is great in visuals so it deserves honor in that field. A Wii version should come out. Endless possiblities.

yeah, i like the way the sweat goes off of the boxers' skin.



just a thought, why do we always notice water or other liquids in graphics?

I have a feeling that the PSP version alone would not been good enough to win this award. But hey, if it says PSP in an article, it's gotta be PSP news!

» this is a great game

this is one of my favorite games on psp. it has great gameplay and cool graphics. i dont understand why Jex H. said "Especially for gamers who put graphics before gameplay" when the gameplay is good. if anything, Fight Night Round 3 is better than Rocky Balboa
