PC Game

Activity#18 (Ruby Portillo)

There are many types of NBA games on PC, but the most famous one is the NBA 2K series. The NBA 2K series is a basketball video game that is released every year. It began in 1999 and that time, it is only exclusive for one video game console, the Sega Dreamcast. The game was originally made by Sega and is released under the label Sega Sports; but now, it is changed to 2K Sports. The game is usually released on the month of October.

The first series of NBA 2K was only available on Sega Dreamcast. It became available to GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox on the third series, the NBA 2K2. Then, it became available to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on its eighth series, the NBA 2K7. On the tenth series, NBA 2K9, it now became available to PC. Later it became available to PSP, Wii, and even on iPad and iPhone. Last year, the NBA 2K11 sold over 5 million copies and received over 20 Sports Game of the Year awards. Michael Jordan is the cover athlete on the NBA 2K11 and the game includes new features dedicated to Michael Jordan such as the “Jordan Challenge” and “MJ: Creating a Legend.” Last February, it is announced that for the first time, the NBA 2K series will release a Game of the Year Edition of the NBA 2K12. It is common for video games to release a “Game of the Year Edition”, but the NBA 2K12: Game of the Year Edition was a blast. The NBA 2K series became really famous because there are many basketball enthusiasts around the world. I know that I’m a girl and I play this kind of game, but it’s my choice and most of all it’s fun.
