Not quite the Smash it should have been Obviously with Wimbledon having been on in the last few months, it was a given that a few tennis games would be released. But what was surprising was the fact that for the first time EA decided to add their name to the list of tennis games …
Release your inner maniac EA’s latest offering of boxing goodness is of course Fight Night Round 4.
