Although it wasn’t out by Wednesday it didn’t take much longer. Backbreaker’s game-remaking “Greathouse” patch is available over both PSN and Xbox Live. See here for a rundown of everything it fixes and adds.
A day after releasing news of its behemoth patch on Xbox 360, the folks who make Backbreaker say its free iPhone version has picked up a Kentucky Fried Chicken sponsorship. Runners will now celebrate with, what else, the Chicken Dance.
This past week I had so much fun tinkering around with a game that I’m almost embarrassed to go back and read my original review. Because I was very hard on Backbreaker.

You’re a halfback, not a soldier, but it doesn’t feel right to call these “turns,” “tries,” “chances,” or “men.” No, these are “lives,” at stake in Backbreaker‘s Tackle Alley, where 99.22 percent of its players have ended up “dead.”
Rob Donald called it back in May: “I am totally expecting to see … a perfect recreation of The Last Supper in someone’s end zone.” The Backbreaker producer hasn’t been proven right yet, but one artist is hard at work.
505 Games, fresh from putting out the unlicensed pro football challenger Backbreaker, will bring an unlicensed mixed martial arts title to E3, one that promises action more brutal than the UFC or Strikeforce-branded games.
