Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Backbreaker: Vengeance, the minigame sequel to the more popular elements of last year’s Backbreaker, will release on Xbox Live on June 29, but won’t be coming to PlayStation 3 outside of Europe.
Backbreaker’s addictive Tackle Alley minigame put you on the field as a ballcarrier juking and spinning his way through 100-yard touchdown runs. Backbreaker 2: Vengeance puts you in the game on defence, blasting those showboats out of the water.
Backbreaker’s iPhone version – a port of the popular “Tackle Alley” minigame from the console title – flips the script in a sequel that tasks players with stopping the computer runner. New moves and “super showboating” will also be featured.

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.”
