New Backbreaker Details Emerge

While Backbreaker has been largely quiet since being shown to some media outlets at E3 there have been a few things discovered over that time including the publisher and potential release date and price. Now Backbreaker has finally stepped out and delivered additional details on the game. The current release date listed by Gamestop of April 27th would fit in the spring time frame now mentioned and appears to be a real date and not a placeholder. That date has not been confirmed though so it could change. The discounted price of $49.99 seems likely but this has not been confirmed either.

Just in case you were wondering, at the end of the regular season, I'll add up our division winners and tack those onto our scores. Some divisions have already been clinched up, or are very close to being clinched, so a few of your have more bonus points that you don't know about yet.

Here's another NFL comparison that I've come up with. This one includes Viking's team owner Ziggy Wilf (left) and actor Eugene Levy (right) from the American Pie movies and many others.
