DSP Sports Games of the Year

DSP Baseball Game of the Year
This was no contest with MLB 07: The Show winning easily over MLB 2K7. This is all the more impressive considering that this title isn’t released on the XBox 360. In fact, Playstation exclusives (MLB 07 and MLB Power Pros) won 71% of the vote. Add in […]

Jose Reyes announced as MLB 2K8 cover athlete

Last week Reyes was announced as the new cover athlete for the now 6 year old 2K baseball franchise ending a 5 year domination of 2K covers by the boys in pinstripes.

Review up: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)
