  One of the bigger gaming news stories this year so far is that George Hotz (or Geohot to the internet at large) , the justifiably ego-driven hacker du jour found, and released the PS3’s root keys. What’s are these root keys, you ask? It’s a set of largely incomprehensible numbers that Sony uses to digitally sign licenced software for …

Fight Night Round 3 is the boxing game that always comes to mind as soon as the conversation moves to fighting games. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of that game and still go back to it on the odd occasion when I feel the need for a bit of fun fighting.
