    With just one month to go until release the first gameplay footage from Don King Presents: Prizefighter has finally appeared. Up until now the storyline has seemed intriguing (despite it being linear) but there have been questions around the gameplay and why no videos had been shown or hands-on time been given. In a demonstration done on the Gamespot program "On The Spot" executive producer of the game Matthew Seymour walks through some of the aspects of the story mode and fighter creation ...

    It appears that Facebreaker will be the next EA Sports game to get a price reduction. This follows the releases of March Madness 08 and FIFA Street 3 ($50) and NFL Tour ($40) which all had an initial sale price lower than the standard. Gamestop has now updated Facebreaker with the new information ("price drop" of $10) which turned out to be the first indications for those previous releases as well. As of now it looks as though Facebreaker will sell for $50 which is the same as the upcoming ...

    As I alluded to yesterday it appears that Facebreaker will be releasing for the PS3/360 earlier than originally anticipated. The dates have been moved up to the first week of September. I don't know if that'll stick considering NFL Head Coach 09 is releasing that same week and NHL 09 soon after but seeing the possible release move nearer does explain part of why EA has been showing so much of it so early. There are now four additional screenshots (found in the gallery) and a new video which...

    Eurogamer has posted up their preview of Prizefighter. You can check it out in full here. This follows the IGN preview which expressed some gameplay concerns but seemed encouraged by the story mode and presentation. The alarming thing that came out of this preview is the news that losing a fight will result in your career being over. As interesting as the documentary style of the game is, it's also a somewhat limiting factor, since the developer hasn't created any branching storyline eleme...

    IGN has posted up their early preview of Don King Presents: Prizefighter. Some of the areas discussed include the story mode, aspects of gameplay, the controls, and the soundtrack. You can read the full preview here. From what I've read I really like the sound of the story mode and the overall presentation. 50 fights would be more than enough for me but I'm sure some people out there will wish there was more to it. Still beats what you could get out of Fight Night's career mode. As to co...
