More on the MLB 10 Pre-Order Bonus
As first noted last month the classic stadiums being advertised for MLB 10: The Show are actually being provided as downloadable content and won't be included in the game. Not only has the pre-order bonus of a code to download the six stadiums reappeared on Gamestop but the same offer is now being made on Amazon. No word on how much these stadiums will cost otherwise or whether they'll be available individually or only as the full group. Generally I wouldn't see anything wrong with extra st...

MLB 2K10 Fixes Advertising Altered Stadiums
Last year a controversy arose when MLB 2K9 attempted to extend the space for advertising by altering some wall dimensions and adding signs that didn't exist in the stadiums. The two most egregious examples were the left field wall in Nationals Park which became a mini-"Green Monster" in order to accommodate one large ad and Wrigley Field which had a non-existent billboard erected in center field. While more of a just a nuisance there was also some discontent over the sheer number of ads being ...

First MLB 2K10 Preview
Earlier I posted up the full features list for MLB 2K10. Now IGN has released the first hands-on preview of the game.There is a distinct tone of discouragement carried throughout which is not typical of most previews which tend to be glowing or give the benefit of the doubt on issues. Included in the preview is talk about the My Player mode which appears to be primarily focused on clutch situations, the formula for pitching with the right stick being made more accessible, a defensive swing ...

MLB 2K10 Features List
With less than seven weeks until release the first information on MLB 2K10 has finally made its way out.

While this is the complete features list it doesn't appear to represent everything new or improved for this year. Instead it introduces the features that will be most heralded for 2K10. Work the corners – Based on each pitcher’s mechanics and offic...

MLB 10: The Show Demoed in 3D
The first gameplay video of MLB 10: The Show came out of CES late last week. Being demoed at the same event were Sony prototype 3D TVs with a handful of their games including The Show. Obviously this video isn't going to display itself in 3D but it does offer an opportunity to get a look at it in action and listen to the comments of those in the room. It's clear that this is a technology that will be integrated into games in the coming years as consumers adapt 3D capable TVs. What interest ...

#3 of 2009: MLB 09 The Show
The ranking of games in the best of 2009 list is based primarily on the personal amount of enjoyment had with a particular title. Some other factors include whether advertised features were fully delivered on, post-release support, community interaction and communication, overall gameplay experience, feature set, and online play performance. Again this is a personal take on the games. The analysis is weighted largely towards those which I had the most fun with while considering them as a who...
