Looking forward to new OOTP Baseball

I’m looking forward to the latest version of Out of the Park Baseball; the company behind the game recently contacted me and offered to send my review code. Since I enjoy reviewing PC sports management sims, I gladly accepted.

Out of the Park Baseball has improved every year I’ve had the pleasure to review it, extending all the way back to m days with Dignews.com. I’m sure the OOTP team has some new wrinkles up their sleeves for this season’s version, and since it’s already quite solid, my hopes are high.

But we’ll see; I’m also very demanding, so if there are issues, you can be sure I’ll offer up an honest opinion. Still – yay! – it’s baseball season. The Twins are in Target Field, a new version of OOTP is on my hard drive… I’m ready to play ball, and that’s not just the testosterone cream talking!

The game I’m reviewing… revealed!

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.
