Detonator is a truly unique blend of an engaging puzzle game with the satisfying reward of the obliteration of empty buildings and skyscrapers.

Here's the pitch on League Series Baseball 2:

League Series Baseball 2 offers you the best of both worlds - firstly you are the king of the dugout barking out instructions, deciding on tactics, moving your fielders around to get your best arm on 2nd base and secondly you are the king of the mound taking all the pitches and hitting all the home runs.
