Morning Shackers. Japan needs to be more creative, the Warhammer MMO pre-launch is starting soon and if you were a fan of Genesis-era Phantasy Star games, well then the depressing news is they clearly only want to make Diablo-alikes, but now on DS !

FIFA 09 Demo Out!

It's up on the UK and Asia XBox Marketplace right now. Not sure when it hits North America. PlayStation Store gets it at 5pm GMT. Here's a vid of some new tricks:

  The demo is damn fun! It's no longer has the niggling bugs or dull play that UEFA 2008 was prone to. Awesome too, they finally let you play TWO halves in a FIFA demo. :D

  Are those tricks only for the console versions?

  I'll give the demo a try on the 360. Those other than the sombrero flick, those tricks looked absolutely useless. I guess I'm just a die-hard PES/WE guy. :(

    You are right, they're just flashy tricks. But if someone gives you the time to start juggling the ball, you'll be able to get past them rather easily. The lift over the head, and the overhead kick are deadly.
