MLB Stickball hits XBLA this week

Well this one came right out of left field. After two weeks of big name games hitting Xbox Live Arcade, we are greeted this Wednesday with MLB Stickball from 2K Sports. We know next to nothing about the title, though a pair of screenshots reveal what looks like stickball featuring super-deformed versions of familiar players from Major League Baseball. Gamescore Blog also notes that players can unlock baseball cards and earn extra points for hitting certain objects. So, breaking a window will earn points then? Count us in.

MLB Stickball will be available this Wednesday for 800 Microsoft Points.

I'm really hoping for PA ep. 2 too since it's on the October ad as coming soon.

If this game uses the same pitching and hitting mechanics as MLB 2K8, it's going to be awesome...

I'd like to see the Wii version of Madden on the 360. My children would actually PLAY Madden if that one was available.

Deformed is right...that's down right scary.
