You heard right folks. FIFA 10 has had an amazing launch in Europe and has become the fastest-selling sports game of all time. This news is parallel to the fact that soccer (aka football) is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world (MMA being another). 
Now, if you haven’t acquired the FIFA 10 demo, I strongly urge you to slap your girlfriend (or whoever may be responsible) and download it immediately. The game features all sorts of new content such as practice arena, customizable set pieces (video after jump), animations, 360 degree dribbling, and improved AI.
I gotta say, the FIFA 10 demo feels more responsive than FIFA 09. While I've been playing last year's edition non-stop in preparation for my review, I can't help but jump in every odd minute for some quick glory.

The following is a short tutorial on how to create your own set pieces. The process is very easy and quick to do. This feature will definitely play a huge factor when taking your game online. Check it out!
Is it safe to declare FIFA 10 the best soccer game of all time? Well, we do have PES 2010 hitting around the same time, but with FIFA’s reputation and more-casual control structure, I don’t see much standing in the giant’s way.
