Facebreaker character video: Kiriko
EA Sports has released another trailer featuring a character from Facebreaker.

Kirkio joins Ice, Molotov, Romeo, Voodoo, and Steve as the ones that have been featured to date. It appears that every Monday will bring a new character video. So far I'm not really caring much for these characters. Luckily the photo face feature should fill in nicely if that remai...

Many of the Facebreaker characters profiled
A recent TeamXbox preview of Facebreaker included profiles of many of the characters that will be included in the game. There are still some that they weren't shown to them, however they are able to vaguely describe several that haven't been seen in any of the screenshots or videos yet. Personally I'm looking forward to the monkey, though I think overall I'm more interested in the potential of Photo Face than these characters. In total they were able to talk about 11 of them. You can read t...

Full website for Facebreaker launches
The full website for Facebreaker went live yesterday, replacing the blog-like structured site that had been in place since the game's announcement in late January. A new character is going to debut every other week and while I have discussed it previously the site does confirm that the game will be releasing on September 3rd and for $50. Though there isn't really anything new right now it'll be a place to check in on a regular basis as they've shown an active interest in the community and h...

Facebreaker shows off two new characters
EA Sports has released some new screenshots from Facebreaker featuring a character going by the name Voodoo along with a new trailer which puts the spotlight on Steve. While there has been an inordinate amount of screenshots and trailers released for the game thus far they have generally centered around Romeo and to a lesser extent Molotov. The original trailer gave glances at a few more characters to come but this is the first time they've really shifted the focus to others. You can check ...
