After walking by the line of at least 50 people, the large amount of basketball caps and cargo pants made apparent it wasn't the mediocrity of the latest survival horror (er, action) game drawing them in; it was NBA 2K13.

No, don't stop. We need competition beetween sports franchises in gaming. Push on and don't stop or the 'winner' will become lazy
"Since the release of the first NBA 2K game, EA have arguably been left behind in 2Ks dust in the basketball video game category."
I don't know about that, Nba live was the basketball game to get until Nba live 07 came out.
The last good ones were Live 04 n 05 for ps2 era n Live 06 last gen

"We broke down eight games that use licensed songs so well it’s hard to imagine them without."
The man who sold the world from MGS V? If any song is to be remembered from that game it's Here's to you by Joan Baez/Ennio Morricone. That scene gave me goosebumps.
Stupid article. Music in games should be recognized for their impact like the crossing into Mexico in RDR. Not just tunes on the disc
Basketball is a sport that any child in America has played at one point or another. It was one of the key sports in gym classes across the country, and only continues to grow because it’s accessibility.
All you need is a ball and a basket.
If you’re like me, however, you’ll soon realize that you aren’t that great at basketball.
Despite this, you try and emulate Michael Jordan with the tongue hanging out, or, for kids today, doing three goggles after hitting a bucket. Still, at the end of the day, we may not have a future in the NBA.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the game we love.
This list is a joke, right?
Here is a real list from memory:
Lakers vs Celtics
Bulls vs Lakers
NBA Jam On Fire Edition
NBA Live 1995 Super NES
Konami NBA on Dreamcast
NBA Live 1999
College Hoops 2K
College Hoops 2K7/2K8
NBA 2K13
NBA 2K16
I would add a couple personal favorites from LONG ago. NBA In The Zone...cuz you could play a MJ (though they changed his number and name...which you could change back...it was STILL MJ...and it was before NBA Live 2000). Double Dribble...cuz you could finally see dunks! NBA ShootOut...cuz they finally added a bit of skill to shooting. Oh...and Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird One On One...cuz it's the first one I ever played.
Good to see. NBA2K has really stepped up the past few years, especially considering there was no Live/Elite. I've frequently told people 2k12 was the best basketball game to date, haven't tried 13 yet though.
The demo been out for a week.
anyway, I attended the one at my local Gamestop(I didnt buy it) and it was more crowded than the Madden 13 one a few months earlier. Its also amazing how strangers can get along with each other on events like this.
Not surprised, seriously unless you spend a good bit of time with this series you will never be able to appreciate just how good it actually is. Its not like your normal "casual sports game" they really have mastered the sports genre, I mean they made EA scrap Live 13. You know you are doing something right when EA dont even want to attempt to compete.
Cant bloody wait until Friday (UK launch)
lets see madden do that
