SPECS: AMD FX-8300, Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 (2GB VRAM), 8 GB RAM, Windows 10, 10 MBit/sec download speed

GRAPHICS: Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. My rig runs this game 60 fps at most times with all settings on High, only slowing down to 30 fps during cutscenes or timeouts. I've experienced a crash every once in a blue moon, but that's to be expected from a game that just got released. Other than that, no problems at all with running this game.

CONTROLS: Listen, all the people complaining about not being able to change keyboard controls are correct, but you should NOT be playing this game with a keyboard. Even if you could customize the layout, it would be a terrible experience. Get a controller or don't get this game.

MYCAREER: Yes, the Spike Lee career is a bit cheesy at times dialouge-wise, but the problems that everyone seems to be complaining about didn't influence my experience with the mode. I made a white MyPlayer, and sure, it looked a bit weird with my twin sister and family being black, but after the first cutscene I just completely forgot about it. The beginning part of the mode is solid, and the college experience was very fun. However, my major gripe with MyCareer is how low of a rating you start out with and how hard it is to improve from that. You go from dominating the high school/college game to getting 4 pts a game in the NBA if you're lucky. Once you start leveling up your player, the mode is insanely fun.

MYGM: Very much like 2K15's mode, except with Team Relocation and slightly more control over your team. If you liked it last year, you'll enjoy it this year.

MYPLAYER: Creating your player is almost exactly the same, still no Face Scan.

MYTEAM: Once again, just like last years as far as I can tell, but you can customize your court, branding, and uniforms once you get far enough into the mode.

COURT DESIGN: Insanely addicting, spent over an hour creating my team designs for Pro-Am and will probably do the same for MyTeam and if I relocate the Bucks in MyGM. Very customizable, can pretty much do whatever you want.

ONLINE: I played one online game just to test the mode and I experienced absolutely no slowdown. None whatsoever. It's amazing and I love it. In fact, I haven't had any online problems with this game AT ALL, except for a day or two when 2KTV was unaccessible (but who cares about that anyway?). Good job on 2K's part for nailing the servers this year.

CONCLUSION: An excellent game with improvement in nearly every aspect, a few crashes but no graphical glitches or problems to be seen. All basketball fans should pick this game up.

RATING: 9.5/10

This might be the cliche thing to say now, but Portal 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. The storyline is one of the best ever, Wheatley is just as hilarious as GLaDOS, the evil supercomputer of Apeture Laboratories, and the mechanics of the portals is just as good as the original. If you don't own this game by now, you don't deserve to even play a Valve game. While you're at it, get the Portal + Portal 2 pack, and experience the absolute brillance of the original. I give this a 10/10, and the original 11/10, if that's even possible. Get this game now, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
