Real Boxing is free this weekend on the App Store, so if you want to spend the next couple of days whomping on some digital sweaty men, it's probably worth a look.

We weren't super enamoured with the game when it first came out. It had its moments, and the controls were pretty impressive, but a few niggles held it back from being a knock out.

At review we gave it 6/10 and said "Real Boxing looks and plays nicely, but flawed countering and training systems unbalance a promising beat-'em-up."

Still, for nothing it's definitely worth a punt. And there's a ridiculous motion-detecting mode if you fancy swinging your arms around in front of your iPad.
