MLB Stickball coming to XBLA

360 News | Tomorrow.
This week's new Xbox Live Arcade candy will arrive tomorrow - that would be Wednesday - in the form of MLB Stickball.

As you might have guessed, at heart, MLB Stickball is a baseball game. However, it isn't quite baseball as we know it, with developers 2K Games putting an 'urban' slant on the whole affair. Rather than have the action take place on a baseball field, players will take to the beaches, streets and other strange locations spread across the United States. They also seem to be playing with a cricket stump, rather than a baseball bat, which is slightly odd.

Given the nature of these locales, players will have to take into consideration various environmental factors, such as cars and fire hydrants, which will either get you out or help you make runs.

All thirty MLB teams are represented in the game, with a total of 120 real life players to ogle, though one would be forgiven for being slightly intimidated by their rather large heads.

MLB Stickball will come with a price tag of 800 MS points when it hits the Arcade tomorrow.

Damn I hope this is good, sounds like the baseball game for me. Cheaper, and I don't have to go through a 162 game season...

Will be getting the trial as soon as I get home tomorrow.

No stickball for us Aussies.

This Wednesday we've only gotten Beat'n Groovy and some Tenchu game.

I like Beat'n Groovy (more properly known as Pop'n), although I wish it had more songs =/ I also wish it looked less like it does.
