In Diabolical Pitch players take the roll of a former pitcher who must battle his way through a haunted amusement park with a magical throwing arm. Sound weird? It should. It's a Grasshopper Manufacture game.

March was jam-packed with co-op games. April... not so much. Hopefully some smaller titles will be announced as the month goes on, or it's going to be a sad, lonely spring. Aw, hell, I guess we could always go outside.

Diabolical Pitch is great awesome great.  Don't believe me?  Check out the header image.  What's it say?  "Great awesome great."  That's right.  Players pitch imaginary baseballs at an assorment of monsters to save the world, or escape a carnival, or rescue their girlfriend, or something.  Developer Grasshopper Manufacture hasn't divulged too much of the plot, not that it's really necessary.  Throw stuff, kill stuff, it's Diabolical Pitch!

Kinect games have great potential for wackiness. Nowhere is this more clear than Diabolical Pitch, a recently-announced XBLA title from Grasshopper Manufacture. How many other games cast players as baseball pitchers who use super-powered throws against armies of monsters in a carnival setting?
