MLB Stickball for XBLA tomorrow News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

7 October, 2008

MLB Stickball will be the Xbox Live Arcade game released tomorrow, Wednesday 8th October, as Microsoft says we've been asking for baseball game for a while now.

Oh have we.

Anyway, Stickball isn't quite baseball; the characters have got oversized heads for a start, and they go at it in famous urban areas from around the US: San Francisco, LA, Chicago, etc.

Each of these has specific rules to abide by, like hitting cars or surrounding objects with balls to earn points.

For those that do follow the sport, there's also 120 Topps cards of real-life players to unlock as you go.

MLB Stickball is handled by 2K Sports and costs 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

Look out for our thoughts on the game soon.

Looks just like that flash game that was doing the rounds not too long ago.

I'm the only one on the entire planet who wants retro-games to come back to XBLA. :-( I'm still waiting (no doubt, in vain) for Gauntlet II - or Boulder Dash! The Virtual Console has Boulder Dash, why can't we have Boulder Dash?

Anyway, sorry, that was slightly off-topic.





Or Golden Axe II? No? Oh.

Brilliant. Major Nelson is reporting that this for Canada and the US only.
