This one is seriously, serious wacky

Way, way back in 2010 we briefly covered a game that was being referred to as Codename D, which it has now been revealed will renamed to Diabolical Pitch. This Kinect-enabled XBLA title will feature up to two players pitching baseballs at zombie like creatures in mascot outfits, who are invading their psychedelic baseball pitch. Players may also wield baseball bats, touch fists to unleash fireball attacks, or pick each other up to restore health.

No really, that's all true. I didn't make any of that up. Here's a trailer recap to try and help put it in some kind of context.

It's said that Diabolical Pitch will be released before the year is out, but there's no solid release date as of yet.

Unique... It's almost like they are coming up with games like Hollywood is coming up with movies. Not a bad thing, but it seems like they are throwing anything out there sometimes. I think the gaming industry has a lot more room though to explore than film industry.

This is almost enough to make me buy a Kinect. If you're interested in the concept than try and find a Japanese film called Battlefield Baseball as I believe that that film may well have had some influence on this.

Though I am not a big zombie fan, the idea of this game kind of appeals to me in some strange way.

Crap, someone beat me to name-dropping Battlefield Baseball. Also, I predict it will follow the SUDA51 standard of "quirky concept, sub-par execution".
