Worth Playing Review: MLB 09 The Show

Worth Playing:

Ever since the first PlayStation console hit the shores of North America, Sony has been trying to create its own series of sports games that would rival the ones published by Electronic Arts’ sports division.

Things looked so bad that the company decided to overhaul every sports series it had in order to turn things around.
