FaceBreaker, a new EA boxing title
I posted earlier in the message boards about this new title from EA Sports. It’s called FaceBreaker and it’s an arcade style boxing game which is light years away from what we’ve all grown accustomed to in the Fight Night series. The website for FaceBreaker has just gone live a day ahead of the initial target. Here’s a new screenshot for the game that no one else has seen outside of the official site.
“We’re very excited to announce FaceBreaker, an all-new franchise from EA SPORTS that is fun, fresh and innovative,” said Peter Moore, president, EA SPORTS. “FaceBreaker reinvigorates one of the great genres in sports videogames. Arcade boxing takes me back to my roots in this industry, and this game signals our shift to adding more approachable fun to our product lineup. In no time at all, you’ll be picking up the controllers and knocking your opponent around the ring, smashing faces, and having a riot.”

IF this game can capture the light hearted boxing that punchout and super punch-out had, I’m going to have a hard time prying my fingers away from my controller!

I don’t think I’ve played a boxing game since Punch Out for the Nintendo, should I look and see if improvements have been made? Not sure how I’ll do with out a wire green boxer to select from. LOL.

Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?
Very impressive that this blog is syndicated through Google and is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?
Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..
Boxing greats you should write about next!
