EA Mobile has recently released some great games for the iPad. Dead Space was just an amazing game that blew Eastbayri.com away on what a mobile game should look and play like. They're not a huge sports game fan but with EA's previous successes, they had to get their hands on NBA Jam.
Like Eastbayri.com said, their not a huge sports fan but this franchise is one that they remember fondly of when they were in their teens. NBA Jam started way back in 93 as an arcade game. Eastbayri.com spent many hours and quarters battling their friends. What was so striking about this game was it's high action-packed gameplay which made other sports games so boring.
Now NBA Jams has come to the iPad.
People have work, family, school, and other important things that prevent them from playing basketball on a court. Some people like the sport, some people don't. However, when it comes to basketball video games, even 5 or 10 minutes can bring out people's basketball skills in a video game.
Nice article. I would add Tecmo NBA Basketball for the NES to this list. I liked the focus on NBA Jam, though!
Thank you and I'll see what I can do.
I will do my best to add it later when I have time.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): It appears publisher Electronic Arts is in the spirit of giving. Either that, or it wants to dominate the App Store charts.
Regardless of the company's true intentions, you'll be happy to know that all (and we mean ALL) EA published iPhone and iPad games are now $0.99 (or free) for a limited time, which gives you the perfect opportunity to capitalize on its best titles.
With this in mind, make sure you grab these ten games immediately.

The famous "Konami Code", a string of simple commands almost every video game player knows by heart. Although it first debuted in the 1986 NES title, Gradius, the cheat gained notoriety for granting 30 lives in the NES version of Contra, a side scrolling title so difficult most players relied on the code to beat the game.
Don't forget to press Select before you press Start for two players. lol!
