Gaming This Weekend: 5.18.07

MLB 07 The Show PS3What a week of gaming news! First the 'Halo 3' beta goes up, down, and up again and then Sony dumps a boat load of amazing upcoming games on us. What more could we ask for?

'MLB07: The Show'
Sony's first-party baseball game finally hits the PS3 this week, and the wait was definitely worth it. With crisp graphics, solid game play, and a thorough franchise mode, 'MLB07' finally gives PS3-owning baseball fans the hardball heavyweight they've been waiting for. Check it out and get your fix of some SIXAXIS-friendly baseball. And, yes, Boston fans, Dice-K is on the Sox's roster.

'Halo 3' Beta
Surely you've heard about the 'Halo 3' beta, both the good and the bad. This week (and now until June 10), millions of lucky people are testing out this massively popular shooter form Bungie, due September 25. If you're one of the lucky ones, enjoy the crazy weekend and take out some blues (or reds) for us.

Sony's Mega Announcements
Those who thought that the PS3 didn't have any must-have exclusive titles were sent to the quiet corner this week when Sony demonstrated more than 30 upcoming games in San Diego at Sony's Gamer's Day event. Titles we can't wait for include 'Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction', 'Warhawk', 'LittleBigPlanet', 'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune', 'Heavenly Sword', 'SOCOM Confrontation' and the trippy-looking 'Folklore'. Good stuff ahead for PS3 owners, no doubt.

Coming Next Week
Next week looks like it's going to be a bit of a wallet-buster with a couple of titles we're looking forward to, so you may want to save your money if you're not a huge baseball fan. 'Odin Sphere' for the PS2 comes out on May 22nd, combining RPG and 2-D, old-school side-scrolling elements in what looks to be an instant cult hit. In addition, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End' brings action-adventure of the finest kind to virtually all consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP, PC, and Nintendo DS).
