Farseer Physics weird collisions

I'm starting a game, and I'm using Farseer as the physics engine. I have setup a few boxes acting as terrain tiles, and a box as the player. The collisions between these two are very weird, they intersect and slide when it's not a "direct"…

Farseer or Box2D? Top-down shooter physics implementation

Which one of these would fit a top down shooter better? I've heard that Box2D performs faster, but I've also noticed that it lacks wider community support for XNA (it rather seems to be used for flash - for a reason unknown to me). Farseer is…
