The Early Days of NBA 2K13 Have Been Particularly Encouraging
2K Sports has a history of trouble, particularly online-related, with the NBA 2K series during each year's respective release week. Generally online has been the high profile culprit but widespread freezing in various modes or other bugs have arisen early on that required immediate attention. In starting to pull together impressions on the game outside of one issue in MyCareer mode it has become clear that NBA 2K13 has avoided many of the pitfalls of year's past. (more…)...

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Represented Within Madden NFL 13

NBA 2K13 Loading Time Evaluation
One generally overlooked aspect of sports titles, where the in and out of games can result in significant time spent waiting around, is the efficiency in loading times.

That is the case yet again with NBA 2K13 which has brisk loading times and still even benefits some from being installed on the Xbox 360 hard drive.Ă‚Â ...
