Facebreaker Audition Videos
EA Sports has released some new videos promoting Facebreaker through character "audition" videos. Molotov, Voodoo, Steve, Socks, Spin, and Brick are featured. As of yet there is no footage of the monkey, which I amuse myself by thinking up the possibilities of combining with Photo Face. Also some more "celebrity" additions to Facebreaker are now known. Spencer and Heidi of The Hills fame and the members of From First to Last join Kim Kardashian and Peter Moore. Considering the significanc...

Facebreaker Discussion in the Forum
While the demo for Facebreaker offered a unique opportunity to try out the Photo Face feature, ultimately it was only a snippet of what to expect from the full game. While I started to see the strategical nature emerge after multiple play throughs, being limited to 90 seconds of intense gameplay wasn't the ideal way settle into the full experience. Todd Batty, who previously headed up the highly acclaimed NBA Street: Homecourt, is the lead designer for Facebreaker. He has expressed a desi...

Facebreaker Demo Impressions and Videos
With the arrival of the Facebreaker demo comes the first opportunity to try out the fast paced action title that EA is banking on to be a hit. While the game looked to have potential as a throwback to the arcade boxing games of the past there really was no way to judge whether the game would truly until being able to play first hand. Make no mistake about it though this is more a fighting game than a boxing game and is not meant to be a replacement for Fight Night as Round 4 will be out next...

Facebreaker Demo Coming Soon
The demo for Facebreaker is expected to hit XBL and PSN on Thursday July 31st. Considering the arcade style fighting game doesn't release until the first week of September that is unexpectedly early. One round of action (90 seconds) will be featured in the demo, with three playable characters and two arenas to choose from. The best part though is that they've included the ability to upload a face. While you'll be limited to placing a face on one of the included characters, with the full gam...

Facebreaker in action
Facebreaker has seemingly gone from an intriguing concept to uncertainty as of late. The interest in an arcade style boxing game is out there, but the character profile videos have been somewhat offputting. In this video Peter Moore goes up against Geoff Keighley as themselves, in the process displaying the first realtime gameplay footage. From this video I definitely feel more encouraged about the game in general. The photo face feature is going to be especially fun to use along with the a...

At this point if the game is going to make its release it is at least in the certification process, if not already having gon...
