■ 06/05/08 - Major league Baseball 2k8 You can always count on 2K Sports to provide gamers with a virtuoso outing in the old ballpark as it has been doing on the main consoles for several years now. Its first stab at bringing the Major League Baseball 2K franchise on the PSP was a good try but not anywhere as good as Sony’s MLB series.
■ 21/04/08 - Major league Baseball 2k8 Revolutionizing your control of the five tools in baseball are brand new pitching, fielding and base-running controls and completely overhauled batting interface.

■ 11/04/08 - Major league Baseball 2k8 It’s that time of year again, when sitting side-by-side some drunken lunatic is nothing but a pleasure while both of you ridiculously cheer on your losing team through another year of disappointment and false hope. You know the feeling we’re talking about, when you watch your team make it all the way to the ALCS/NLCS, only to get swept by the opposition and miss out on the big game completely.
■ 03/04/08 - Major league Baseball 2k8 If I told you that Johan Santana’s change up is thrown with the exact same motion as Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball, I would deserve to be slapped, as this is one of the most erroneous observations ever to be made about baseball. But what if I was talking about video game baseball?

The answer is no.
■ 02/04/08 - Major league Baseball 2k8 It’s that time of year again, when sitting side-by-side some drunken lunatic is nothing but a pleasure while both of you ridiculously cheer on your losing team through another year of disappointment and false hope. You know the feeling we’re talking about, when you watch your team make it all the way to the ALCS/NLCS, only to get swept by the opposition and miss out on the big game completely.

■ 22/03/08 - Major league Baseball 2k8 When the Wii was first introduced and gamers got a glimpse of its unique controls sports fans, particularly baseball fans, immediately saw its potential. If a developer could ever marry that control system with the art of hitting a baseball, it could change the way baseball games are played forever.
■ 20/03/08 - Major league Baseball 2k8 Before I start this review proper, I have a bone to pick. I like indie rock as much as the next 35-year-old who wears Adidas to the office every day, but what on Earth does it have to do with baseball? Whose idea at 2K was it to partner with the snobbiest of all music-review websites, Pitchfork Media, to create a hipster-approved soundtrack for the national pastime?
