Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and it's also one of the more popular video game franchises for EA Sports. The interactive entertainment company recently released the latest version of its soccer game, FIFA 10.

Dan Evans of PCmag.com says the new game has a lot more details that makes it seem like players are really on the soccer field. "What's great about the new FIFA is it plays more like real soccer," he said. "Now, soccer video games get kind of easy after a while. ... They've changed all that in the new game. Now, you have to concentrate on individual dribbling, doing little tricks to get away from your defenders because the defenders play like real defenders."

FIFA 10 is available now for all the major video game consoles.

After years of waiting, The Beatles' music is now available online but it may not be for long. A Web site called bluebeat.com is selling the Fab Four's entire catalog for the low price of 25 cents per MP3. The Beatles have famously kept their songs off-line and it doesn't appear they've licensed their music to BlueBeat. Their record labels are looking into it.
