"MLB 11 The Show is about bringing the biggest, most dramatic moments in baseball directly to your living room. Ever wonder what it’s like to be on the mound with the big game all on the line? The entire stadium awaiting your next move? Then “Torture” by MLB 11 The Show was made for you. San Francisco Giants Ace Tim Lincecum is in a jam. It’s late in the game with the bases loaded and Phillies Super Slugger Ryan Howard is coming to the plate. Worse yet, with two outs and a full count, he’s got the greenlight to swing for the fences. One pitch is about to change the momentum of the game and the season for both teams."
In many ways, this past console generation was a brutal one for sports video games. While other genres flourished, sports gamers were subjected to an irreversible thinning of the herd, losing MLB 2K, 2K Sports football, NHL 2K, both NCAA basketball franchises, and seeing arcade sports games all but vanish. Competition, which breeds innovation, is weaker than ever. But that’s not to say some standout games didn’t arrive as well.

I know the steam summer deals are awesome, but you are still, technically 0ff-topic, trolling.
Some of those prices are okay, but I got Killzone 3 Helghast Edition for only $40, which had a ton of cool stuff with it.
Beat you. I got Killzone 3 Helghast Edition for $20 at best buy after Christmas. :)
Dang, that is a pretty good deal. I got it for $40, but I also ended up getting the Collectors Edition of Uncharted 3 for $40 as well that day. $80 for both of those fantastic sets is well worth it.
Gamestop has better deals than this piece of crap list. It has team Ico collection for 20 bucks with all the other games on the list but cheaper. Hell motorstorm is like 3 bucks on gamestop while here its 20
The sports genre might be one of the most underrated categories in all of gaming. Sure, they suffer from a yearly release schedule that makes the previous entries obsolete, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t games worth remembering. - PSLS
Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee and its sequel are awesomely fun games. It's a shame no one plays online anymore :(
They're a great tune-up for World Invitational though, which will be a Vita launch game~
i must resist..argghhhh....have ...to buy vita.....only....in... spring...arrrrrrghhhhhhhhh.
MUST ... RESIST!
I am still playing MLB 10 The Show even though I have MLB 11 for my PSP.
Not being able to transfer your RTTS players from one year's version to the next has always been a handcuff for me.
I'm in my 10th year as a right fielder and am on my way to the Hall of Fame. Why would I want to start another guy before I'm immortalized in the HoF with my current guy?
Best Baseball series around by far
