    Gametrailers has posted up the premiere trailer for EA Sports Facebreaker. The arcade boxing title was just recently announced and is tentatively slated to release in early November. The developers of Fight Night Round 3 have assembled the most ferocious boxers on the planet in an epic display of speed, power, and ego.

Considering the release date appears to be late fall this is a chance to get a really early look at the game. There probably won't be much if any actual gameplay footage however i...

That would place it between early October titles such as NBA Live and FIFA and a likely mid-late...
