Although Spring training is in full swing, baseball season begins today for video game fans. The popular baseball game MLB2K10 goes on sale. It is the tenth anniversary edition of the game and PCmag.com's Dan Evans says the game has come a long way from its early days. "MLB2K10 is a very deep game for baseball enthusiasts, but it also has elements of arcade style baseball, so if you want to get in there, hit a couple of home runs, you can do that," says Evans. For those who prefer to play over a longer game, Evans also says, "If you also want to play a full 162 game series, you can also play it out that way. I recommend it to both baseball fans and baseball strategist alike." The game is available for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

In 1998, it changed its name to Topikachu after the Pokemon character.
