Finally, a polished Boxing seems like a natural fit for the platform. The screenshots look promising and by the description it sounds less like a 5 minute iPhone distraction and more like a game. With all the recent announcements from id, EA, NGmoco and Chillingo the iPhone looks like its finally becoming a full fledged system. I'm stoked.

Oh my God, I was thinking the same exact thing, lmao! What are the chances of that, I was like wow that looks awfully similiar to San Andreas's gyms… Hahah, I doubt it is though, but wouldn't it be crazy if it was?

BOULDER DASH! YIPPEE!

Hey, doesn't anyone think that 'Touch KO' looks like the boxing in GTA San Andreas's gyms? It looks like they just ripped out the code and graphics from that part of the game and ported it to iDevices.

I’m really looking forward to Boulder Dash. Not too sure about the control system for it as from what I could remember you had to be pretty quick in the later levels to avoid getting squashed. The only way I can see this working is with a virtual joystick, but I’ve not seen any game where it has worked as good as a real joystick. Add to the fact that I’ve got fat fingers, it just makes seeing the screen even harder, but this will definitely be bought as soon as it released as I spent ages playing this on the C64 (Level M was fantastic).

ZOMG! Boulderdash! I remember playing this game when I was a kid on my Commodore 64. I'll be buying this for sure since I have been waiting for a good port. I just hope the controls will be good.. Virtual joystick anyone?
