The bodacious Kim Kardashian makes an apperance in EA Sport's cartoony boxing game, Facebreaker. The celebutant, known from her reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians (and a well-publicized sex tape), shows off the game's Photo Game Face mode, which allows anyone to scan their faces into the game using an Xbox Live Vision cam or the PlayStation Eye and then stick it on a customizable avatar. See the first screens and trailer of her appearance.
The FaceBreaker Demo is now available on Xbox LIVE, and will follow on the PlayStation Network on August 7th. The demo features characters Sparrow, Ice and Steve going at it in the fast-paced boxer, as well as the game's custom face generator called Photo Game Face. Photo Game Face will allow gamers to upload a cartoon likeness to the FaceBreaker online boxer gallery at EA SPORTS World. Created boxers will all be available for download – and can be shared with the world - when FaceBreaker ships to retailers on September 3. Players can use an XBOX LIVE Vision camera or a PLAYSTATION Eye camera to upload themselves – or someone else - directly onto their consoles, or alternatively use a regular photo. Transform your created boxer with 60+ customization options to play with, a full color palette and a closet full of costumes.
DarkZero: The Xbox 360 demo will be available on Thursday July 31st and the PS3 version will be arriving a week later on August 7th. No reason was given for the weeks delay on Sony's console.

Buttonmasher writes, "While previewing Face Breaker at the EA booth it was mentioned that Peter Moore's face had been scanned and entered into the game using the boxer editor. The face, which is creepily accurate, can be attached to any of the bodies and manipulated. Peter asserts that he suits a more chiseled look but the demonstration featured him as a blue monkey."

NBA Street, SSX Tricky and NFL Street were staples in the EA BIG stables, but it looks as though EA wants to change up their image and go with a different name.
EA has released the first proper in-game shots from its toon-ed up Fight Night, FaceBreaker, which is still looking very much like Ready to Rumble with Team Fortress's pants on. Get a look here.
