2K just announced that its Top Spin 3 tennis video game for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii has gone gold overseas. The video game will be available in North America at major retailers June 24, 2008.

Top Spin 3 holds to be the most authentic tennis video game available, and offers features such as high-quality graphics, specialized controls and expansive online offerings. Top Spin 3 allows users to choose from a wide selection of top-ranked professional tennis players for their video game experience, such as Andy Roddick, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova. Players have control over every aspect of their character, including a face sculptor editor, customizable swing animations, hairstyles, tattoos and grunts.

The Top Sprin 2 features new Evolutionary Visuals that show the intensity of the simulated game, as the characters sweat, show fatigue and get grass and clay stains as the match progresses. For the more competitive player, Top Spin 3 allows users to create matches online and compete against friends or other ranked players around the world in singles and doubles matches at a variety of levels.

Tennis star Andy Roddick is engaged to “Sports Illustrated” model Brooklyn Decker.

Roddick, 25, proposed to his 20-year-old love last Tuesday. A statement posted on Roddick’s official web site, andyroddick.com, “The couple wanted to tell their family and close friends first but good news travels fast. By the time Andy arrived in Miami for the Sony Ericsson Open, the tournament was bustling with the news.”

“With their hectic travel schedules, Andy and Brooklyn plan to enjoy their engagement and will wait to set a wedding date.”

The couple have been dating since last year, when Roddick had his agent track down Decker’s number.

Roddick has previously dated Mandy Moore and Maria Sharapova.
