Fucking dumb ass Japanese. Quite possibly the dumbest pack ins for a game ever.

If I had the scratch, I'd like to have one of these:

Thought I would run a COD night but apparently my copy of COD 4 means jack shit now.

Is the 1.40 patch supposed to utterly stop the game from running?

God damn these games were fun.....ruined NBA jam for me thou

Med, I know we were chatting about those games the other day but I was wondering, do you like the one that release on 360/PS3? Homecourt I believe? I remember it being decent.

I might have to pick those games back up (not sure why I ever traded them in) when GS has another B2G1 sale.

Completely hooked on Red Dead Redemption right now. Still just at the beginning of the game but it's awesome

So frustrated last night. Rode into town, ran over a dog, suddenly was wanted, didn't know what to do, went to Sheriff's office, paid what I thought was the price of my punishment (it was a bribe apparently), and lost 400 honor... Great one

Yea NBA Street homecourt, I didnt love it..

I liked a few things that they did with it, The Trick remix feature was pretty cool..but the Game had no soul...
And What I mean by that is, Vol.2 and Vol.3 captured the streetball atmosphere, that Rucker park event in the summertime atmosphere, btwn One of the Best Soundtracks ever in gaming, bobbito garcia on commentary, graffiti inspired art direction, streetball legends, it All added alot to the experience....

Homecourt kept the over the top moves, got rid of the legends, went in a more realistic art style, got rid of commentary, had a forgettable soundtrack and ended up not really feeling like NBA street anymore...

The moves and the dunks were still over the top and fun...but the atmosphere felt generic...

...

yawn...

I didn't know you could bribe officials, but the places to pay off your wanted level legitimately are at the train stations IIRC.

I enjoyed NBA Street.

I plan on starting up my Xbox version soon. God I love that game.

I think you summed it up nicely. Homecourt was fun but didn't have that "it" factor the previous game had. I couldn't recall but Homecourt took out the Legends? Lame. Homecourt did have online though. But I'm guessing since it's EA the servers are down.

I'm sure it would never happen because EA now has the NBA Jam license, but a NBA Street HD trilogy would be awesome. I have to admit that the latest Jam is pretty damn awesome though. I can't stop playing it.

After a few failed attempts at finishing a gold match in Mass Effect 3 with randoms, I decided to start yet another game of Max Payne 2. Hopefully, I'll be able to plow through it by Monday.
