A fun but frustrating experience, MLB 2K12 is more iteration than upgrade.

It's time once again to take gamers out to the ball game with the newest installment in 2K Sports' digital realization of our nation's pastime.

This is a game you will probably want to pay attention to.

Capcom has been quite the news grabber lately, and it has been mostly negative news over the past year and a half or so. Whatever your feelings for the prolific Japanese developer/publisher, it can’t be denied that Capcom has been one of the most aggressive leaders in establishing new IPs this generation.
