Virtua Tennis 3

It's been quite a long time since the last First 10 Minutes, due to the lack of games and of publishers actually willing to send us some (and people wonder why we want to go to Gamersyde.com...). I received Virtua Tennis last week and since I'm still in the process of integrating the new capture hardware into my usual workflow it was the perfect test. A game I really recommend, especially to those who still have friends coming over from time to time. (Xbox 360 version)

XCN has provided us with another great interview, this time with the developers behind the just-released Virtua Tennis 3. I found the demo hard to begin with, as many of you out there, but more and more training made the game really entertaining. Inside you'll find their thoughts about 1080p, DLC, explanation of the online mode and much more.

Virtua Tennis has just landed on the X360 Marketplace. After a couple of hard defeats, I've recorded my performances. You'll see two games, one with Federer and the other with Nadal, against Sharapova and one of the Williams sisters. Hd version should be available later today.

Sega released these images of Virtua Tennis 3, to be released next month on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The following images are all probably from the latter.

Sega released this trailer of Virtua Tennis 3, showing the Xbox 360 version in motion. It's actually running in 1080p, even though the downloadable version is in 720p. Inside you'll also find a low-res video showing some different minigames.

Sega announced a few minutes ago that Virtua Tennis 3 would support the 1080p resolution natively on the 360, just like the PS3 version. But we also get a great bonus with the online mode that our Sony exclusive friends won't have the chance to play. 1080p images also showing the online mode inside.

Sega sent us the last few screenshots of Virtua Tennis 3 unveiling the remaining mini-games. See gallery description for the version they are from.

Sega just sent us these new images of Virtua Tennis 3, showing the training mode called Balloon Smash running on the 360.
