New Details on Backbreaker
With Backbreaker having started promotion in advance of its May 18th release some previews will be out in the coming weeks. Scans of a new preview in the overseas magazine X360 have emerged. The actual article is written in an overly sensationalist manner so from it I've pulled out just the information on the game that hasn't been touched on before. Created teams being used online will not have the customized logos, jerseys, and field art displayed to opponents. It is implied that the deci...

MLB 2K10 Demo Impressions
From the time the demo for MLB 2K10 was released I've been keeping notes, some of which I've been posting to Twitter along the way.

There are a number of issues though, some of which won't be properly evaluated until the comple...

MLB 2K10 Demo Videos
After a lengthy process my first HD videos of the MLB 2K10 demo are now live. The recording is one of the first times I played through and it was 3am so there are a few quirks. For example there is a stretch where I throw three or four consecutive wild pitches not realizing I was doing the changeup motion instead of the fastball motion. Also I started rushing things near the end of the second video as I was trying to complete the demo within the 10 minute time limit placed on uploads. I'm cont...

MLB 2K10 Demo Now Available (360)
The demo for MLB 2K10 has arrived on the Xbox 360 Marketplace. It features a three inning rematch of the World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Yankees. There is no commentary and no option to change settings such as difficulty or adjust camera angles. The demo for the PS3 will not be available until March 4th. Considering there is just one week to go and only a single inning of gameplay footage out there this demo carries with it a great deal of importance. I will have game...
