    2K Sports just dished out a new trailer for their upcoming game, MLB Superstars, and it's pretty much like the other updates we've had on the game. Instead of looking at ridiculous screens, you get to look at ridiculous screens in motion. This trailer focuses on the 'Whack a Wall' minigame.What do you all think? Still just a bunch of minigames thrown together, or do you see something you like here?%Gallery-31217%[Via press release]

    Click image for new screens If you're asking yourself why we're continuing to cover this game, know that it's sort of turned into a sick obsession for us. Taking widely recognized baseball players and making their likenesses compete in minigames that are anything but their sport of choice is like taking a gardener and asking him to build a rocket and land on the moon. It's just plain silly.But, then there are small, tiny rays of hope that manage to break through the thick protection of cash-in that is the outer crust of MLB Superstars. That ray of hope? The Philly Phanatic. It can't be all* bad now, can it?%Gallery-31217%*Yes, it can. And probably will be.

    Click for new screens 2K Sports has dished out a few more screens from their upcoming game, MLB Superstars. In these latest shots, we see some of the titular superstars tackle one of the game's hybrid minigames, Baseball Golf. We're not sure how it works, beyond what is shown in the screens. The real question is whether or not these new screens make the game look more appealing than the previous batch?%Gallery-31217%[Via press release]

    We think one of our readers said it best. When the game was originally announced, we thought it was going to be a train wreck, and these first screens of one of the minigames in MLB Superstars, Baseball Bocci, show that not only did the train get derailed and crash into a building, but that building was also full of babies, puppies and all of the most delicious candy in the world. We hate to be so harsh, but come on. It's baseball. Why would you try to combine it with bocci? Why?%Gallery-31217%[Via press release]

    With October right around the corner, everyone's got baseball fever. We must admit that we're even caught up in it a bit, cheering our favorite team onto victory. And 2K Sports is trying to capitalize on the madness by unveiling their newest baseball title for the Wii: MLB Superstars.MLB Superstars is being developed by Deep Fried Entertainment and will be a party title (see: minigames), featuring games such as Baseball Golf, Baseball Pachinko and Baseball Bocci. It will also feature minigames that aren't even in the realm of baseball, such as Mascot Dance (you can probably imagine what this is) and Green Monster, where players must break down a wall with a baseball bat.[Via press release]
