Major League Baseball 2K7 Hands-On
23:38 | by Evan
Our friends over at IGN have gotten the opportunity to have a hands-on look at 2K Games Major League Baseball 2K7 for the Xbox 360. Here's a blurb:
The first thing you'll notice when you get your hands on MLB 2K7 is the visuals. The players look and move realistically, straight down to their jerseys and caps. The first section of a game I played had some high winds which caused the jerseys to ripple realistically as the batter waited for the pitch. Although it may have been a bit overdone in the high winds, this was some of the most true to life cloth motion I've seen around.

Def Jam: Icon Preview
23:01 | by Evan
Topping the bone-snapping, profane, and gritty Def Jam: Fight for NY is no small task. AKI's wrestling/fighting hybrid managed to successfully maintain the precarious balance between street credibility and one of the best wrestling game engines ever created. While critics might not have thrown laurels at its feet, gamers everywhere spoke with their wallets. A version developed by another team would inevitably have some big shoes to fill.
For that reason, EA commissioned its Chicago studio, creators of the ultra-successful Fight Night series, another franchise with mainstream and street cred, to bang out the next installment of the Def Jam franchise. Check out our full preview over at GameSpy!
