Now on the iPhone and iPod Touch for the first time is FIFA 10, which can be downloaded via the App store. FIFA Soccer 10 can also be bought in store all throughout Europe for the PS3, XBox 360, PC, PS2 and the mobile platform.

FIFA for the iPhone is the only full-licensed soccer games in the App Store. It mirrors the 2009-10 teams in real life from the leagues worldwide. It’s very simple to use and allows the user a lot of mobility and accuracy. Added on is different camera angles and slow motion replay. And if ever in the mood for a good challenge, simply uses Wi-Fi to connect with friends.

On the PS3 and 360 the dribbling system has been fine tuned for accuracy. An improved manager mode, new practice arenas, and customizable set pieces. Added features such as Virtual Pro, a mode that allows you to become a pro footballer with many accomplishments and face other pros online. With the weekly pulse as an optional addition which gives real-world info. The weekly pulse being a downloadable content.

On the Wii “The Strike It System” is timing the use of the Wii remote in order to score or defend. Compete and compare with family and friends and ultimately play online with friends in 2v2 online matches and tournaments.

Sorry non-Europeans we’re going to have to wait a bit longer to play this one.

Montreal rockers Mobile will be joined by new member Martin Lavallee when they kick off their Sound of Fiction tour today (Wednesday) in Quebec City.

The band spent the past few weeks searching for a replacement for drummer Pierre-Marc Hamelin, who is trading a career in music for one in law.

Guitarist Christian “Criq” Brais broke the news on the band’s MySpace blog on Feb. 19. “It is with regret that I bring you this news — Pierre, our drummer and most importantly our friend is leaving Mobile,” he wrote.

“Pierre has decided after much thought, that the love for playing music isn’t there anymore and that he wants to go back to an earlier passion — law. It was a tough decision for him and a big surprise for us. Its also been hard for us to see him go. After all, we formed the band in his parents’ basement in Lorraine where we all grew up.

“I, and the rest of the band wish him all the best as he continues on down his path.”

Brais also posted a video of Lavallee in action to introduce him to fans. You can view the clip here.

Mobile are touring the country in support of last year’s “Tales from the City.” The 23-city run wraps April 4 in Saskatoon and will feature opening acts Inward Eye and/or Bend Sinister for all dates. The exception is Toronto on March 12, when the band will be accompanied by Hinter, Default and My Darkest Days.
