It's not that generic. The camera is sometimes so spectacularly bad it's in a league of it's own. Shame as given the material they had it could have been Kindom Hearts style lovely.
Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. It's too bad they had to ruin such a great license.

I wasn't even going to try this, but I think I might now just to see how bad it is.

Switchball and the imaginatively-named "Word Puzzle" on XBLA this week apparently - both for 800 points. Switchball may be worth a look - I played the PC demo ages ago, and it was rather nice - very solid feeling.

My search-foo is weak at present, and someone mentioned a website which sells Xbox 360s cheap. This seems like as good a place as any to ask so...

Can anyone remember where it is?

Switchball is a lot like Ballance. A LOT like Balance. Is it the same developers?

Given that the ninty thread has the japanese sales figures in it, I'm going to drop this here and risk the wrath of the moderators.

EA sales figures, 3 months upto September

Xbox 360 - $218 million
PlayStation 2 - $73 million
Nintendo Wii - $59 million
Nintendo DS - $47 million
PlayStation Portable - $21 million
PlayStation 3 - $17 million

Given that EA are primarily multiplatform, its... interesting.

Interesting indeed. The 360 figures are very surprising. I'd like to know what proportion of them are made up with EA's yearly sports updates.

Does Balance also have the horrible screen tearing that Switchball has? Although to be fair, having played the demo that's the only thing I can remember about the game. Dull.

I'm not a moderator, but maybe this thread would have been a better place for your post:

rather than this one, which is supposed to be about 360 updates and demos.

Nah, just at work when I should be at home sick with a bad cold, so thought I'd share out the misery.

But doesn't nearly everyone think of this thread as just the 360 discussion thread, much like the Wii and PS3 threads?

I know I do....

Likewise. Doubly so since the 360 discussion one got locked many moons ago.

EA has finally released its Be A Pro: Online Team Play patch for FIFA 08.

This, as you may remember, lets you take the role of a single footballer in a match - joining up to four of your friends on one team as you try to score more goals than your enemies.
