  • Scrapped Facebreaker Venues

    Thanks to the official Facebreaker website we have two examples of concept art in planetarium and skate venues that didn't make the final cut. Pretty neat ideas and makes you wonder what type of venues they'll have in the game if these didn't make the final cut. Click the thumbnails below to view the two images. For some reason I hadn't even thought about the idea of fighting in non-traditional environments. It does fit the over-the-top nature of the game though and will add to the fun fact...

    2K Sports has released nine new screenshots from the upcoming Don King Presents: Prizefighter for the Xbox 360. These screens can now be found in the gallery along with the three that had been out previously. Also the first officially released footage of the game will come late Friday night on the GameTrailers TV show and be available soon after on the GameTrailers website. It'll be interesting to compare it to the video that was found on Don King's website for a short period of time a few ...

    2K Sports has released a new screenshot from Don King Presents: Prizefighter that shows off an arena and the surrounding fight atmosphere. They've also revealed the final box art for the game which is now (officially) set to be released on June 10th for the Xbox 360 and later this year for the Nintendo Wii and DS. You can view the images by clicking the thumbnails below or check out all of them in the screenshot gallery. ...
  • Prizefighter release date practically official

    Yesterday I speculated that Don King Presents: Prizefighter appeared to be headed for a June release. Later in the morning retailers such as Gamestop, EB Games, and Gamefly updated their release date to June 10th for the 360. The Wii and DS versions of the game apparently won't be coming until later this year as they have a September placeholder. While 2K Sports has yet to give a specific date for the game (likely won't see that until it is attached to a press release) there is little rea...

    Back in January it looked like Don King Presents: Prizefighter was headed towards an early-mid spring release. Not long after discussing that possibility Gamestop moved the date back giving it a May placeholder essentially signaling that they anticipated a May release but were not given a concrete date. Generally 2K Sports promotes one title at a time with the games being spaced out at least three weeks or month apart. Right now the focus is on the bizarre Nintendo DS game MLB 2K8 Fantasy...

    EA Sports has sent over 10 new screens from their new arcade boxing title Facebreaker. This now makes for 25 total officially released screens from the game which appears to be headed for an early November release. These screens feature three fighters (Romeo, Ice, and Molotov) that have been seen previously. Below are a couple that you can view the full size images of by clicking the thumbnails. The remaining new screens and all others can be found in the gallery. ...
  • New Facebreaker Screenshots

    EA Sports has released a set of 13 new screenshots from Facebreaker. Thus far the screens that have been released have been relatively basic having shown off only three of the characters in what appears to be a training gym. They have a nice clean look to them and the exaggerated style that is to be expected. Considering how long there is to go until release it's interesting that so many have been made available already. That is in addition to the blog style official website which is worth f...
  • First Facebreaker impressions

    With EA Sports Facebreaker still a long ways away (tentative November release) it was somewhat surprising to find that MTV got the chance to get a talk about what they had seen of the game. Obviously at this point it is far to early to evaluate it but there were some new nuggets of information mentioned. I've pulled a few of the more noteable quotes from the article below. You can read the entire piece by clicking here. I was told that each character would be unique and have a great back...
