    Review: Ballistic Baseball

    As a lapsed baseball fan, all I need is one good game to get back into the sport. I used to like realistic sim baseball — like MLB The Show — but I recently found joy in arcade baseball games, like Super Mega Baseball. This looks like it should satisfy my arcade baseball desire, but does it deliver, or will it strike out? Controls and Presentation Let's start off with the very little good there is to say about this one. For what you are able to do it, it controls well. The re
