MLB 08: The Show obviously doesn't compete with the PS3 version, but it does a lot with the system's power. Players look as close to their real-life counterparts as the system allows and even showcase a few new animations. Stadium landmarks like Fenway's Green Monster are also around. Aside from a few clipping issues, it is hard to really pick out any major issues in visual presentation. There are a few crowd issues and the PS2 version doesn't showcase the smaller feature that make the PS3 version such a stand out game, but those are incredibly picky issues that are out of the system's control.
Whereas the visuals lack certain smaller features, it absolutely nails the audio stuff. Fans heckle and cheer along with other recognizable ballpark sounds. Special attention is also given to the on-field sounds like slides, the crack of the bat and player chatter."
The MLB: The Show franchise exclusively on PlayStation platforms, has driven baseball simulators to the next level with the most realistic and detailed games from the sport. Today TheGamerAccess.com is glad to announce that they have one of the Senior Producers of MLB 09: The Show with them to answer some of their questions.
Well, coming from a developer which contributed to the finest sports game I've ever played running 1080p native + 60 fps, I believe every word he's got to say.
nice interview, the game is looking great and I know there is more power on the PS3 that they can pull out.
If not THE greatest.
MLB: The Show is simply a must-have for ANY baseball fan.
This isn't opinion, it's hands-down a fact.
Sony could make an NFL franchise right now if they wanted. 2K sports has an exclusive hold on the baseball franchise rights but since The Show is not 3rd party it can be made, same with an nfl title
Professional sports have dealt with doping from track & field, to cycling, baseball, pro football, wrestling, boxing, and just about any sport you can think of. Taking that information and looking at many of athletes that have existed in the gaming world has resulted in suspicions that maybe some of these digital athletes were doping like A-Rod and the real players.
Without further ado, here are 10 game characters suspected of using "power ups" to enhance their game.
It won GameStooge's Best RPG of 2008, Best Xbox 360 Game of 2008, and Best PC Game of 2008, and it captures the overall prize. There are so many factors that made Fallout 3 so special: the look of the game, making even a post-apocalyptic desert beautiful; the theme and setting; the storyline and voice acting; the VATS system and action; the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and Karma roleplaying game elements; from beginning to end, Fallout 3 felt like an event. Kudos for Bethesda, who have the unenviable task of trying to one-up their own creation.

Fallout 3 is an amazing game. Can't wait to get this on the 360 with the exclusive DLC.
Fallout 3 certainly should get GOTY! Awesome game with so much to do and good replay value.
Homicide I also can't wait to get that DLC :) 3 in the next 3 months! Though for PC you could also get the GECK dlc which is a map editor and sounds pretty dang sweet but I don't have a gaming PC anyways
