Indeed! Come May 23, you’ll be able to enjoy the athletic antics of a creepy-looking Roger Federer and the ball-slamming serves of a very surprised Andy Roddick. Hey, I’m just going by the box art. Seriously, Federer looks like he wants to stab your dad.
Four platforms can expect the title – Xbox 360, DS, PS3 and the Wii. I’m guessing the PSP doesn’t have the requisite drop volleying skills and the PC’s net game can’t pass muster.
2K Games says preview code should be available later this month. Until code does arrive, I’ll just keep whacking my balls in Virtual Tennis 3.
And so begins the flurry of last-minute press releases as publishers scramble to prepare for the onslaught of both press and public at the Games Convention this week. 2K Games and 2K Sports have just revealed their lineup for the show, and I’d say the Games folks definitely have the edge here. They’ll be showing the intriguing new shooter from Gearbox, Borderlands, as well as Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution, the first Civ game created solely for consoles and handhelds. The Sports team will be showing off Top Spin 3, NBA 2K8 and NHL 2k8. Their press release also indicates that “two new and unannounced games from established and popular brands” will be revealed for the very first time at the show, so keep your browser tuned to Kotaku for details as soon as we get them! Oooo, exciting!
