Yes, I’m about to reveal the super-secret PC sports management sim I’m reviewing as my first review as an independent videogame reviewer. I couldn’t be more excited about this one.

Well, just maybe I could. I imagine if Apple came up to me and said, “Hey, buddy, here’s a free Apple iPod Touch 64GB and you’re the first person we’re giving one to, so long as you write a review of it,” then I could imagine, perhaps, being just a touch more excited. After all, I do love them iPods. Especially the Touch models. (Hint, Apple… hint!)

But seriously, folks, down to bid’ness.

The game I am reviewing will be: Out of the Park Baseball 10!

I’ve reviewed previous editions of OOTP Baseball, back when I was with Dignews, so it’s a franchise I know well. But props to OOTP Developments for taking a chance on this tow-headed reviewer now that he’s independent, and offering up a review copy to my “fair and balanced” reviews.

I’m not an easy review, but all that means in when I offer up a rave, it’s not because of the free software… it’s because the game is really worth it! Where will Out of the Park Baseball 10 rank?

I don’t know yet; I just got the “gold code” release edition and so I haves some diggin’ in and playing to do. But you can bet that whatever I have to say about it will be the straight scoop on the game… at least in my eyes. Stay tuned.
