MLB 2K9 = The poor man's baseball game. Terrible reviews all around while everyone agrees that MLB 09: The Show is the best sports game of this generation.

The Show = 60 FPS, 1080p native, the most realistic animations in a video game.
2K9 = Lmao.

plus 1080p native at 60 fps -ps3 exclusive
no comparison necessary

gamersden5511d ago

MLB SHOW 09 runs at 1080p native at full 60 fps --something impossible on X360

also it is an AAA - 90% at meta

HDDVD_for_the_win5511d ago

Don't tell them, they'll cry again.

gamersden5511d ago

X360 wont be able to run any game at 1080p native at 60 fps

TruthBTold5511d ago

The Show looks so good I feel I am missing out on a great game if I dont get this. The Show really knocks it out of the park.

jeseth5511d ago (Edited 5511d ago )

This is a baseball fan's baseball game. It is so deep and detailed. I live in R.I. and Fenway Park looks amazing in this game! The way the shadows go across the field is beautiful.

You can make a strong argument that MLB The Show is the best sports franchise this generation. I am a Madden whore but MLB The Show is as close to perfection you can get in a sports game!

P.S. I love how many unique player's batting stances there are in the game too! So many authentic stances its great.

gamersden5511d ago

It supports full HD 1080p at 60 fps

only on PS3

Have no interest in Baseball,but The Show 09 will be my first EVER Baseball game.

It just looks so awesome.

Feature: Toughest Platinum PS3 trophies

BANGBANGTECH wrote; If you're thriving for a gaming challenge there are a few PS3 platinum trophies to collect which might have you pulling your hair out long before you are done…

Trophy support was added in a PS3 firmware update (2.40) in July 2008 and since the start of 2009 they have been compulsory in all full length PS3 releases. Whilst some players are driven by the thought of hoarding trophies, others are content to use them as a way of tracking accomplishments on a bronze, silver, gold and platinum scale.

On many occasions, even after beating the last boss in a game you might have only acquired a mere 10% of the trophies.

Most games are designed to be challenging but there there are a few that really standout when it comes to nabbing those elusive platinum trophies.

If you want your monies worth from a game and its platinum reward, you might want to take a look at ...

Batman: Arkam Asylum platinum was hard?

andron5153d ago (Edited 5153d ago )

Some had problems with the challenges, so I guess it's a bit individual what people struggle with.

I find trophies that make you finish games in a certain time period highly annoying. Take GTA IV for example, who are going to complete it twice just for a trophy...

Dave13515151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

They forgot battlfield bad company 1, i have 36 days (864 hours)of playing time and yet to get it

NotSoSilentBob5153d ago

My vote goes to warhawk or Disgaea3 for the simple fact you have to grind so much in both of those games.

unrealgamer585151d ago

warhawk plat isn't hard just time consuming

Pillage055151d ago

I got the Killzone 2 plat. It would be about a 1000 times easier if it weren't for Radec on the hardest difficulty (well not radec but his waves of minions...I still have nightmares about that level. I think I calculated by my deaths before and after that it took me about 200-250 trys to beat the last level on the hardest difficulty and only around 50 for the rest of the game..on all modes) And the online rank trophy. How did GG think that was a good idea?

Also the R2 isn't very hard. Most people just complain about the 10k kills one cause they don't like grinding trophies. I will admit that it is the only trophy I am short (3.5k to go lol) but its only because none of my friends ever played online so I stop playing relatively soon

Sarevok5151d ago

You got skills. I only have 37% of them and I have about...15 days worth of online play(16k kills and 14k deaths)

Studio-YaMi5151d ago

Are worthless!

unless you're just a show-off or think you're cool by getting them,it gives no good reason to get them!

they should have made this worthwhile...I mean like having extra weapons or infinite lives or stuff like that as a trophy bonus...not just : KILLER TROPHY ...ok what can I do with this;KILLER TROPHY ?

nothing;
and the same goes to XBOX achievements !

Automat5151d ago

games in themselves are pretty worthless! What do you get in real life for finishing a game on hard?

This Week in PlayStation – March 5th

PlayStation LifeStyle: "A common stereotype about gamers is their short attention span. As announcements for new games and hardware come and go it is easy to lose sight of the momentous events that shaped the gaming world. This Week in PlayStation highlights Sony's rich video game heritage which dates back into the 1980's.

Step back in time with us as we put the spotlight on events big and small that have significantly altered the gaming culture."

This is a weekly feature. Every Friday this will go live.

DaTruth5158d ago

Yeah, staring at a screen for 5 hours straight is the mark of a poor attention span!

Who writes this crap???

DoucheVader5158d ago

@ DaTruth

Yes a screen that is constantly changing images so much so that each game has an epileptic seizure warning. Or in other words, optimized for an attention deficit audience.

DoucheVader5158d ago

Don't forget to thank the editor! :) LOL

T3mpr1x5158d ago

Hard to believe only ten years ago we were just barely coming into the PlayStation 2 era...I was also only 11 years old HAH!

PlayStation Vice-President of Epic Footage Kevin Butler: An Appreciation

TechLand: This post was supposed to be about MAG, the ambitiously-huge 256-player first-person shooter that came out today. But after watching the commercial for it, I realized I first needed to give props to the sardonic genius known as Kevin Butler. Generally, he's the spokesperson you see in all of the PlayStation 3 commercials.
