Review: Diabolical Pitch (Kinect XBLA)

Thu, 05 Apr 12 21:23:31 -0400

Baseball season is upon us and with it brings the age-old tale of pitcher Ed McAllister. Ed gets injured, loses his pitching arm, has that pitching arm replaced with a bionic arm, and then uses that bionic arm to kill demonic mechanical mascots by hurling baseballs at them. It�s America�s pastime as only developer Grasshopper Manufacture can capture it. I won�t lie, the concept sounds bizarrely awesome, but did this Kinect Arcade game wind up as something beyond an oddball pitch?
