Kim Kardashian Joins List Of FaceBreaker "Celebrities"

Add one more face to the list of possibly known faces in FaceBreaker. GameDaily writes today that Kim Kardashian, famous for some reason that I'm unaware of other than having sex on the internet, will join the line-up of "celebrity" boxers in FaceBreaker. GameDaily says she's a "TV personality", if that clears up anything for you. She's also listed as being a "celebutant" which, I'll assume, means she's famous by design.

They also have video of a digital Peter Moore beating Ms. Kardashian, which may dovetail with some EA Sports erotic fanfics you've been writing.

EA Sports Are All About That Wii Sports

It's easy to crack jokes about EA Sports' new "Freestyle" brand - as well as their "All-Play" tags for their Wii games - because jokes either EA Sports or the casual end of the gaming spectrum are a dime a dozen. Get past those, though, and you see new boss Peter Moore's being driven by a single, steely purpose: take what made Wii Sports such a hit, and apply it to every EA Sports brand you can think of. That's what he said at a conference in Vancouver yesterday, telling journalists:
We learned some hard lessons. That was the type of sports experience they were looking for and we saw that and decided we needed to redefine what our sports games were about.
You can fault them for copying Nintendo, maybe, but not for giving EA Sports games what they've needed for years now: an entry level.

EA Sports Kicks It Freestyle

Electronic Arts announced today the latest "sub-brand" of its EA Sports label, a division it calls EA Sports Freestyle. Freestyle is described as representing the "lighter side" of sports, with "no rules, just fun." Yes, I know what you're thinking, "I liked it the first time, when it was called EA Sports BIG." But this is slightly different!

Freestyle is pitched as a more casual, more inclusive, pick up and play brand, one that Peter Moore says is "an easier entry point into EA Sports." Brilliant! Look at Peter shakin' things up!

The first title to fall under the EA Sports Freestyle sub-brand will be Facebreaker, EA's take on Punch-Out!! and Ready 2 Rumble. Two more titles are planned as Freestyle releases in the next year. Press release proof is right after this.

Freestyle Basketball Is Free, Probably Still Stylish

Sierra's MMO basketball title Freestyle Basketball has gone completely subscription-free...or maybe that should be free-subscription. Either way, you can now play the game without paying anything. And while crossing an MMO with a sports may be your digital version of a peanut butter an sardine sandwich, there's surely a market of people who will continually play if only to complain that they "would never pay for this game." Seriously though, it's good to see games become free. Any fans?

Week in Games: Touch the Dead Edition

I've been intrigued with Touch the Dead ever since I heard about it. The concept is bizarre: a zombie killing, jail breaking FPS for the Ds that utilizes the touch screen for it's controls. Sure, the possibility of it sucking is rather high, but I'm holding out hope. Besides, looking at this week's rather anemic list it seems like the best bet for a purchase. Flynn De Marco More »
