When gamers think of boxing, they think of Fight Night Round 3, the most recent EA Vancouver creation to put players inside the ring for fisticuff fun. Now the Canucks are trying their hand at a different type of brawler with FaceBreaker. While Electronic Arts and their new Freestyle brand, for which FaceBreaker is the flagship title, maintain that it is indeed a boxing game, when you first get your hands on the over-the-top arcade title you realize that it's actually something else entirely. Whether that means that the gaming community will latch on to its zany gameplay and caricatures for fighters, only time will tell.
The ultimate reason is both shocking and disgusting.
From the article:
"Real Steel is, believe it or not, one of the top 10 best selling games on XBox Live Arcade. Considering the prevalence of the DLC, and the number of people playing, it’s a safe bet that Real Steel has become a surprisingly steady source of income for Yukes."
So a company is continuing to update and support a popular title.
