New Video Games Due This Week

One of our favorite kid's game franchises, Humongous’ Backyard Baseball, releases it's 2009 edition this week with Backyard Baseball '09 (DS, E). The game features animated kid versions of top MLB pros, including cover athlete David “Big Papi” Ortiz, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Babe Ruth (who appears in black and white). Backyard Baseball '09 features controllable elements of pitching, batting, fielding, and running, and the ability to adjust difficulty levels between two teams, which makes it a great game for kids to play with adults.
