The Bigs 2 steps up to bat

Jun 19th 2009 7:16PM (Joystiq Xbox)
I am a huge Bigs fan and play it online to this day. I've played The Bigs2 demo and I think they've done a great job with the sequel. However, a couple of things to note: the camera has been zoomed in quite a bit, so you don't get as good of a look at the whole field as you used to, but this does add to the cinematic action. It is A LOT easier to hit home runs this time around, seeing as how some players hit automatic "no-doubters" with no turbo, so I think noobs will be grinning more often at their "amazing skills at this game" when A-Fraud hits a homer. I have a small TV, and the game seems to be built for larger flat screens seeing as how I can't see the game's score at the top of the screen. I'm still getting used to the new button-press mini games for making wall catches and the whole "wheelhouse" concept (I feel like the computer instantly hits it every time I throw a perfect pitch in the wheelhouse). Overall, the game is a blast and I really like the addition of the Big Slam, because it can destroy a pitcher or several batters in a matter of seconds. I hope there is a better way of playing online, because I got sick of waiting forever for someone to play with while listening to the same old songs over and over. One thing I would love for them to include would be an online co-op where you can play with your friend who happens to live in Texas, and both be on the same team. We'll see when I get the full version. I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun destroying fools who pick the Yankees every time online in this action-packed sequel! Seriously, 8/10 people I play against pick the Yanks. Have some originality. Go Braves!

2K Sports reveals The Bigs 2 for this summer

MLB 2KWhatever=sucks, MLB "The Show"=sucks and boring, The Bigs=fun because you have real-world players with superhuman traits and abilities. "Realistic" baseball games are boring as crap and too complicated to pick up and play. Give me a game without a 2 hour learning curve please. The Bigs control scheme is brilliant and simplistic while also offering a challenge. Can't wait for this game. I'm actually gonna buy a second baseball game in my lifetime...the first one was The Bigs.

I'm sorry gentlemen but FALLOUT 3 clearly deserves this award. Never have I experienced such an engrossing game with such a large amount of replay value. I have never played Oblivion, I have no idea what it is, but Fallout 3 has so many story arcs and options at your disposal that you often find yourself inundated with several enjoyable paths to travel down. You are sure to be pinned to your chair wanting more and need to set aside at least 4 hours each sitting for this game. I am 60 hours into it and am still finding new things around every corner (not to mention the DLC coming soon!). If you haven't played it, then you can't just cast it aside. It is more sophisticated than the mainstream GTA IV or Saints Row 2 or any of those crappy cookie-cutter sandbox games. Do yourself a favor and try it out now.

Reminder: win BioShock, play it tomorrow morning! [update]

I hope you guys have the stamina to sift through all those comments (so you can find mine of course). But regardless of results, this put a slight glimmer of hope within me. After playing the demo 8 times, reading all the reviews and your little "giveaway," you've officially increased the hype-o-meter.

Also, ironic how you mentioned Tolkien given your name happens to respresent a portion of his intellectual property (But I bet you realized that from the beginning and have some logical way to defend it).
