Launched late in July, Touch KO is the first realistic boxing sim I’ve noticed in the App Store to date (for a different take, check out Smack Boxing Lite). In the game, you start out as a rooking ready to take on all-comers from around the globe. Controls are easy and intuitive, and let you duck, bob and weave your way around opponents’ punches, while accurately throwing jabs, hooks and uppercuts of your own. There’s a ‘Quick Play’ game for those that want to get right down to business and throw a few punches… But for those that want a longer experience, the ‘Career Game’ tracks your progress, allows you to progress through training routines, create and edit your own character… and much more.

So far Touch KO is getting quite positive reviews, so you best head on over to the App Store (iTunes link) to check it out for yourself if you’re a fan of the ‘sweet science’. I wish there was a ‘Lite’ version to try this one out before purchase… sadly there isn’t… So if you want to step up to the ring and purchase, it’ll set you back $2.99 (iTunes link).

Side Note: An official UFC game can’t be that far behind!? *fingers crossed*
