U.S. based Netamin Corporation today announced the world's first virtual reality, massive multi-player online sports game Ultimate Baseball Online (UBO) is in the final stages of testing and will be ready for a worldwide launch in Fall 2004. Unlike current video games that aspire to simulate professional sports, UBO delivers a first person perspective online sports experience as real players team up and face off against another team in real-time. In order to ensure accuracy, Darrell Evans, a two-time Major League All-Star ('73 & '74) and World Series winner (1985), serves as UBO's principle baseball consultant.

Superbikes and Supersidecars Announced
09:01 | by Evan
Midas Interactive has announced Crescent Suzuki Racing: Superbikes and Supersidecars, which puts you in control of dozens of the meanest superbikes and sidecars on the international circuit, including the GSX-R1000 of current British Superbike championship leader John Reynolds and the fearsome Super sidecar of 2003 world champion Steve Webster.

It is unusual for a game that has been specifically developed as a budget game to feature such a comprehensive list of endorsements but, according to UK Sales Manager Sam Collins, it is an integral part of the evolution of the budget market: "Midas budget games have always been recognized as great value for money. However as the market matures we are under pressure to both continually improve the quality of our games and also make sure that the whole gaming experience is as realistic as possible. Crescent Suzuki Racing will be a perfect example of Midas meeting both of these needs"

The game will be available in September 2004 for the PlayStation 2.

Customize your baller, build courts from the ground up, throw one down in an all-new dunk contest and go online to put your reputation to the test. In NBA Street v3, you can build your reputation as you create the future of street basketball with all-new moves in environments such as "The Cage" and "Rucker Park" to places like "Venice Beach."

NBA Street v3 is slated to ship on the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube in early 2005.
