Dodgeball used to be one of my favorite activities to play in gym class. Yes, I am old enough to remember the pain of the red balls to the face and body. I remember reading that they have banned the game in gym classes to avoid making kids feel bad. It’s a shame that the youth of today will miss out on the fun we had.

Yukes just sent me word the Double D Dodgeball is going to hit the Xbox live arcade as an exclusive this summer. Best known for their wrestling titles the game sounds like it should be interesting. The game will feature the eastern and western rules of play. Want to know what is the difference of each? I have listed them below along with the features. We will have more on this one closer to the release date.

  • Eight-person multiplayer
  • Four modes: Exhibition, Player Match, Ranked Match and Tournament
  • GamerScore achievements and online leaderboards
  • Four ball types with multiple playing surfaces
