Out of the Park Baseball 14 Impressions
The Out of the Park Baseball series has long been the gold standard of management simulations. Though the release of an iOS version the last couple years has led to some additional exposure OOTP has still relied on word-of-mouth over traditional marketing. That has allowed them to focus on doing one thing and doing it very well - appealing to the hardcore baseball or management fan - rather than diluting the product as most major titles are forced to do in order to reach the largest audience...

Instead MLB Bobblehead Pros makes the list for arguably being the best playing baseball game available on the 360 in 2011. (more...)...

MLB Bobblehead Pros: Hits and Misses
MLB Bobblehead Pros arrived on the Xbox Live Marketplace last week (PSN release upcoming) for $10. Made by Konami, the game basically takes the well regarded Power Pros series and re-skins the player models as 'bobbleheads' for the HD consoles. The series has always been a sim at heart despite the cartooney look and that tradition lives on with MLB Bobblehead Pros. Considering the price point there is a lot of content being offered with the promise of more support coming down the line throug...
