I just tried the FIFA 07 demo. It looked great and the music was really good. In fact, I would mind having a CD of that soundtrack.
Anyway, I didn't know how to properly control the player but it seems like it would be kinda fun one one learns how.
I'm not a sports fans so for me that's sayin' somethin'.

wtf. I just got the 3 red lights and system wont even load all the way. It just beeps and freezes then the lights come in. Took out the harddrive same problem. Unplugged all cables same problem. As I am on the phone finalizing my address to ship me the box it started working again. For 20 minutes straight I had the red lights. I guess I will see how it works for the next few days even if the box arrives.

With 24 people in a game the maps will presumably be a good size and vehicles might be nice to traverse from one side to the other in time to get into the action. I just hope they don't allow situations like in Halo when one team has both Banshees and the rockets and gets a huge advantage on the other team.

Except after West snipes me for the nth time you can be bloody sure if i can drive a mounted howitzer to chase him down i will 
Actually i wonder if in "custom" games you will be able to turn vehicles off? We just might have to learn to contend with them for the "matchmaking" games.

Looks like IGN is starting a new weekly(?) feature where they track what games everyone is interested in. I guess, by your account and what you are watching, wish list and whatnot. The list is across all platforms, but so far the list is pretty interesting:
Here are the top ten games across all platforms for the week of 10/1/2006 - 10/8/2006:
1. Halo Wars (X360)
2. Assassin's Creed (X360)
3. Gears of War (X360)
4. BioShock (X360)
5. Alan Wake (X360)
6. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
7. Mass Effect (X360)
8. Fable 2 (X360)
9. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (X360)
10. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Eight 360 titles and two Wii titles? Wow. Zero PS3 titles. How can you look at that list and not think the 360 is the perfect system to own? Even the "all the 360 has is FPS and racing games" dissenters have no angle for that argument this time around:
1. RTS
2. Action
3. TPS
4. FPS
5. Action
7. RPG
8. RPG
9. Action-RPG

Assassin's Creed isn't a pure action game since it will have platforming, climbing walls, exploring cities, etc. I would say it is action/adventure somewhat like the Prince of Persia games.
I believe Bioshock is actually a FPS/RPG like Deus Ex and System Shock 2.
I am surprised that no PS3 game made that top 10 list though. I thought everybody wanted Metal Gear Solid 4?

Sorry, that's the deal-breaker for me.
I know they're coming eventually though.

Now I would agree that I am suprised not a single PS3 title whatsoever is on their when you do have 2 Wii titles. Perhaps Sony truly has begun to lose their grip on the dominance they once have. While I do not think MS will win this time around it may be more of an equal share in the market which is huge for MS.

I'm shocked by the PS3 angle as well. IGN is just one site, obviously, but probably the biggest and home to the younger crowd whom are generally PS fans. It is baffling.

Halo Wars is not due out for a long time either, but it came in at #1 on that list. I just assumed Halo Wars made the list over Halo 3 since it is a brand new game while Halo 3 is "just another sequel".
I didn't think of it before, but I am surprised too that Resistance: Fall of Man didn't make the list. Isn't Resistance supposed to be Sony's big system seller for launch? I know that game is receiving a ton of hype.

Fable 2 is also on the list, and not a single screenshot or video of actual footage of the game has been released. I would say Fable 2 is a year away from release at best.
