2KSports announced a new version of Major League Baseball 2K8 for the Nintendo DS. You may be expecting a typical port down from the major consoles, but this one is different. Looking like it was ripped from the old saturday morning cartoons, this MLB for the DS is all about the cell shading, which seems to be the fad lately. In any case, MLB 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars "...features
starting lineups from all 30 Major League Baseball clubs, a variety of
exhibition and tournament modes, All-Star training mini-games, along with wild,
fantasy-themed baseball stadiums. The game utilizes the functionality of
the DS touch screen to control the power and technique of their swings and the
speed and accuracy of their pitch by performing specific gestures and intuitive
usage of the stylus. Fielding, baserunning and other controls will also
utilize the DS touch screen, as players drag and trace lines to execute these
specific baseball actions. Players will also have the ability to obtain
special ?power ups? to complete incredible batting, pitching, and
fielding performances."

You can expect this to come out to the DS on April 14th.
The historic takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which could come as soon as this weekend, moved to the forefront of the presidential campaign Saturday.
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
