Let's have a look at the news that made headlines on our Xbox 360 blog. We've still got Left 4 Dead 2 taking the top spot with the most number of news items released this week, thanks to the constant barrage of updates from Lombardi and the rest of the Valve team. There's also a couple of profile trailers for the ladies of Tekken 6, announcements,updates... But the treat of the week (at least for me) would be modder-extraordinaire Benhecks' resurrection in the scene with the release of his latest concoction, the Xbox 360 Portable Revision 5.

Taking the spotlight in this week's edition of our On Shelves post, the 2K Sports baseball franchise returns in The Bigs 2, which is now out in stores and waiting to be bought by baseball and sports game fans. The Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, and Wii release is accompanied by this Opus Launch trailer, which you can catch after the jump.

What you're about to see is the Albert Pujols trailer from The Bigs - the latest baseball offering from 2K Sports. This isn't your average run for the pennant in more ways than one, and we'll let you see for yourselves just why:

Unlike other baseball franchises such as MLB which focus on bringing gamers the most realistic baseball experience possible on a console, The Bigs delves more on style and flash. The developers are trumpeting eye-popping graphics coupled with arcade-style play. Power-ups and other fantasy elements are at hand, so expect the unexpected when you get outta the bullpen.

Players can either play solo or take their business online and compete with the best of them. The game is set for release on the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii, and the PlayStation Portable come the 25th of June, 2007.

Suddenly I feel like having a corndog. Watching a ball game and pigging out, listening to STP... Yeah, who can blame me? The Stone Temple Pilots are plugging into the tunes for The BIGS (PS3, 360, Wii, PSP). The soundtrack for 2K Sports' baseball game has just been revealed, with STP stepping up to the plate.

Check out the full playlist below:

Stone Temple Pilots - Plush
Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost You
Jane's Addiction - Ocean Size
Killing Joke - Millennium
Rollins Band - Tearing
White Zombie - More Human than Human
Midnight Oil - Dreamworld
Fu Manchu - Hung out to Dry
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
The Stooges - Down On The Street
Primus - Jerry Was A Racecar Driver
Blue October - Somebody
Satellite Party - Insanity Rains
Highbench - Satisfied

Rock on, huh? The BIGS is scheduled for a release this summer across all platforms that it's coming out for. With that said, let the beer caps flow, the crowds cheer, and baaaatter up!

Not set to be another MLB game, The BIGS from 2K Sports and Blue Castle Games (PS3, Xbox360, Wii, and PSP) is bent to set itself apart from all the other baseball titles. With outrageous power-ups, and special effects for fielding, pitching and batting, the upcoming title is shaping up to blaze up the charts.

2K Sports' president of visual concepts, Greg Thomas had this to say about the title:

With The BIGS, we want to take the baseball genre to new heights and redefine what a baseball video game can be. The BIGS has the fast learning curve of an arcade game coupled with deep play mechanics, amazing visuals, and hero-like presentation of real MLB players that will keep gamers coming back for more. The BIGS will showcase dramatic highlight reel moments at every at-bat, creating a truly epic baseball title.

We'll see how the visuals go in this baseball multi-platform videogame, hopefully when 2K decides to give us more than screenshots (*cough* videos *cough*). The BIGS screens today feature the different MLB stadiums - fans should recognize some landmarks on them - and the players. Anyway, there hasn't been any news of the exact release date but we'll keep you posted. For the meantime, check out the screenshots.

The rest of the screens right after the jump!
