MLB 14 The Show out today, I just picked up the Vita and PS3 version at gamestop (unfortunately have to wait on PS4 version until next month).

This is one of my favorite days of the year, can't wait to get home from work.

Freakin awesome you can now carry saves from year to year, it used to feel rushed to cram as many road to the show seasons as possible before the next version came out, usually skipped defense and baserunning to do it, but now with this feature I'm going to enjoy the experience and play out a full career.

I'm going to buy a PS4 just for The Show at some point in the summer.

I don't think there has ever been an xbox version. xbox users do get RBI Baseball, being rebooted by MLB this year. It's not going to be as deep as The Show but if it's half as fun as the old RBI with good graphics it's something for xbox users I guess.

Awesome. I've become a too cheap to really buy many games new (but have no problems blowing $50+ on a night of drinking after buying friends shots which is just stupid) but love the two free games a month.

I've been hooked on Civilization: Revolutions ever since it was the free game. At least I think it was a free one. If not, I paid less than $4 to download it which is good enough for me. The game came out years ago but I don't care. I played it for 8 hours straight on Sunday and I don't even know how long on Saturday. My weekend was not very productive.

i probably should have downloaded civ but chose not to. the 2nd half game for april is called "deadlight". some sort of 2d zombie game.

i played hitman a bit last night and it seems like a lot of fun. plus, conan reviewed it:

I need to go and see if there are anymore Clueless Gamer reviews that I haven't seen. I love those.

I'll probably download Hitman tonight. I'm definitely listening to that video now.
