It's In the Game

Boomshakalaka!!!  He's on fire!!!  From downtown!!!  If you ever had a Sega Genesis you know where these phrases are coming from and the fact that they are coming back simply makes me a happy camper.  NBA Jam was one of the best video games I ever played as a kid and now it is back...unfortunately for me it is for PS3, XBox 360, and Wii of which I own none.  BUT I'd totally go out and buy one of these platforms just for this game.  I'd also kiss a lot of butt to play on someone else's system!!!  Now I just need to find someone that has one.  I'll even buy the game for them, that is how badly I want to play this game again.

You cannot beat a game where you get to A) play basketball 2 on 2 with your favorite players B) Unlock secret characters like Barack Obama or Rufus the Bobcat (Charlotte's mascot) AND C) Dunk a basketball while on fire from half court???  PHENOMENAL (official word of MY day today)!  Back in the day I would like playing as Dee Brown while blindly dunking the ball over my opponent's head but if I wanted to go for a sure bet I'd always go with either Chris Mullin of Golden State or the tandem of Malone and Stockton because it's all about the 3-pointers man!  The new version lines up pretty much every major NBA star out there with the option to choose 3-4 players from each team and even go old-school with a legend or a mascot as well.  I can't tell you how awesome it'll be to decimate Queen James and his cohort D-Wade with the tandem of KG and Rondo.

And while I will probably never get to play this game, I'm extremely excited for the next generation of gamers out there that will get to experience one of the greatest games EVER invented...The nail in the coffin!
