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.
