"With various sports titles coming out every year, there is one sport that is consistently overlooked in the sports genre scene, Cricket.
Ashes Cricket 2009 is fully licensed by Cricket Australia, the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club, the world's most famous cricket club and owner of the Ashes urn), providing the most authentic Cricket game ever.
The Australian Team recently had hands on with the game, and going by their banter and impressions, I'm sure we can expect a top quality Cricket experience on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
Some of the great features of Ashes Cricket 2009 include..."
It appears Sony is making changes to the PSN backend in order to pave the way for future cross-platform releases across PC and PS5.
If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.
If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.
First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has received a bunch of new DLC, including two new gameplay modes, for free.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
Not a huge cricketing fan, but it is great to see the games advancing like this. Especially when sportsmen do make valid comments about the gameplay.
It will be a hit in Europe and UK as well as India I'm sure. As that is the heart and soul of cricket.
but i just cant look a cricket ball in the eye and say 'no' its just such a good game, that, and cricket balls dont have eyes, lol
cant wait to play this, i hope its as good as you guys say
But I'd love a good cricket game and this looks like a great improvement with much more depth on the bowling/fielding side.
Would also love the resurrection of Jonah Lomu rugby from PS1 days. I loved that game to death. :D
It's nice they include this sport but where is the 360/PS3 Rugby League game? :)
