New 'fitba' soccer/football game for Xbox 360 download

fitba football soccer video gameFitba, the football (soccer) game that's not afraid to innovate is out now on Xbox 360 Community Games.

Triple B Games is delighted to announce that Fitba, the football game with soul, is out now on the Xbox 360 Community Games channel.

Fitba brings genuine innovation to one of the most tired and staid of genres, the football game. Twin stick control gives the player the freedom to move one way and pass another. Aftertouch means that putting the ball in the top corner is a matter of skill, not just building up a power meter to the right level. Fully customisable teams allow the player to create whatever team they can imagine and take them online through Xbox Live play.

Fitba runs at a blazingly fast 60fps to deliver the smoothest gameplay experience yet seen in a football game.

Fitba is available to download now for the price of just 400 MS Points.

Triple B Games was set up in 2007 in Dundee by industry veteran Jonathan “Fritz” Ackerley (Harry Potter’s Quidditch World Cup, Shadowman, F1 2002, Actua Soccer 2). The company's aim is to show that great games can be delivered without any of the traditional ‘AAA’ baggage of vast teams & overblown production values. Taking a punk approach to games, developing fast and using free tools wherever possible, Triple B have now launched Fitba on the Xbox 360 Community Games channel. A response to the bland, formulaic approach of current football games Fitba is real football, football with soul, a kick about with your mates rather than the vapid commercialism of the Champions League. You can queue Fitba to download next time you log into your Xbox 360 here. Or find the game via the Dashboard in Game MarketPlace->Community Games->Browse->Sports & Recreation. And it's only 400 points, that's less than the price of a track pack for Rock Band...
