High Heat Baseball 2000 and Requiem on MSN Gaming Zone is the story today, and it is the kind of late-April 1999 news blast that makes the pre-E3 season feel like someone kicked the hornet nest. Microsoft today revealed that High Heat Baseball 2000 and Requiem: Avenging Angel, popular new releases by The 3DO Company, are now available for free multiplayer matchmaking on the MSN Gaming Zone. High Heat Baseball 2000 takes advantage of both Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball gamers Association licenses, creating a highly realistic gaming experience. the title packs in a Pitcher-Batter interface with nine different batting swings and the ability to Guess Pitch. This option allows gamers to bat the way real Major Leaguers do by predicting the pitch, then timing their swing and choosing their bat location with multiple discrete swing positions.

Bottom line: if this is your kind of game, start watching the download pages and store shelves. April has been stupidly busy, and this one just joined the pile.
