Backbreaker Demo Impressions
After much recent anticipation, largely driven by the lack of gameplay videos and impressions so close its release date, the Backbreaker demo arrived for the Xbox 360. Reaction has been mixed with most gamers enjoying the Euphoria physics, polarization on the single camera angle, and the troubling CPU AI leading to the most concern. Continue on to read through my thoughts on the demo so far and leave yours in the comments! (more…)...

Backbreaker Demo Videos
While I'm still working on collecting impressions on the Backbreaker demo (pages of notes already) I wanted to get up a handful of gameplay videos. Overall I've been really impressed with the organic nature of the player interaction and tackling and have found myself enjoying the running game as well as kickoffs.

Backbreaker Demo Update and Talk of Sequel
Maybe the first good indicator in some time for Backbreaker as the demo has cleared approval with Microsoft and Sony. That likely means it will be out next Tuesday. All along the importance of the demo has been stressed for the game and though a week before release isn't ideal it would seem to be enough to allow judgments to be made on the game. Ironically if it does hit on Tuesday it will be up against the release day of UFC 2010 Undisputed. UFC debuted last year and used its demo to prope...

Backbreaker Passing Tutorial
GameTrailers has posted a tutorial video for Backbreaker concentrating on the passing game. Throwing passes requires the use of the right analog stick, focus mode with the left trigger provides higher accuracy, and cycling through receivers with the right stick will probably be the most difficult thing about the system to get used to.

Backbreaker Demo Could Be Coming Soon
Last week through a PR representative it was stated that the demo for Backbreaker would not be out until a few days before release (360) and a week after release (PS3). It appears that they may in fact be working towards getting them out earlier. Considering demos are now released on Tuesdays for both the 360 and PS3 that leaves May 18th and May 25th as the landing spots should it be out before the game hits stores. (more…)...
