I love EA press releases - they're so full of Joie de Vivre. Today, the company has officially announced its new arcade boxing title named, Facebreaker - I thought this was relevant to my 'games that cheer you up' post below.
"Laugh out loud as you pummel your opponent with a barrage of blows to the face and watch in satisfaction as your progress is illustrated by real-time facial deformation," the release gaily instructs.
Here's a quote from EA Sports President Peter Moore. I have provided translations.
"We're very excited to announce FaceBreaker, an all-new franchise from EA SPORTS..."
He means game.
"...that is fun, fresh and innovative."
It's a bit like Ready to Rumble.
"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."
Lacks depth.
Ha ha, I'm joking of course. And as it's by the team behind Fight Night Round 3 it should be quite good. You can apparently graft a photo of your own face onto the visage of your fighter adding a personal element to the combat. It's heading for Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year. Here is more information.
