The Call Of Duty franchise has reached that stage where it’s so popular that people like to criticize it. But in this first extended look at the newest installment, Call Of Duty: Ghosts, it’s hard to feel anything but excitement. The new, next-generation Xbox was revealed yesterday, and this trailer came soon after. Read More »

During the third quarter of Golden State’s series-clinching Game 6 win last night, Stephen Curry was on fire. So it was only fitting today that we get a replay of his incredible shooting run backed with an audio track from the legendary video game, NBA Jam. Everything about this video is on point… except for the flames. If they could’ve had the nets light on fire, this would’ve been the best video of the postseason. Read More »

Just hours after Grand Theft Auto V dropped three mini trailers detailing the game’s trio of main characters, the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts unleashed its own teaser trailer. Right now, there aren’t many clues as to what the “ghosts” will entail, though we can expect a new game engine. At first glance, based on this teaser, I thought we were about to get all Medieval. Apparently not. The game’s world premiere is arriving on May 21 so stay tuned. Read More »

It’s almost that time again. We’ve been waiting on Grand Theft Auto V for years and come September 17, the series will finally be returning. Earlier today, Rockstar Games released three specific mini trailers for the game’s main characters (Michael, Franklin and Trevor) and I can’t be the only one getting a little giddy. There’s only so many times you can scheme your way to a 2:1 kill/death ratio in Call Of Duty‘s multiplayer before you start to yearn for GTA again. Read More »

For every issue of Dime Magazine‘s print edition, who gets to be on the cover is decided only after a lot of discussion. It’s not something we dole out lightly and it’s why we’ve given some of basketball’s best their first national covers. Luckily for everyone who isn’t tearing up high school, the college ranks or the NBA, you can snag a cover of Dime via 2K Sports for the second straight year. Read More »

After almost a year hiatus, Bidding Basketball is back. Every week we will scavenge eBay’s “infinite inventory of NBA junk” for rare, memorable and/or quirky basketball memorabilia. One person’s trash, as they say, is another person’s treasure. Given the release of NBA 2K13 (in stores today), this week we take a look at a pair of vintage basketball video games: Team USA Basketball and NBA Jam: Tournament Edition. Read More »

The NBA 2K franchise has been the perfect supplement to the basketball fandom experience for many people for quite some time now. It’s not always perfect, but we love it nonetheless. It amps us up to see the new crop of rookies and gives us the first shot at dominating with Dwight in a Lakers uniform. This year’s edition, NBA 2K13, looks to be one of the best editions yet. Building on the success of their MyPlayer game mode with a new MyCareer mode, introducing an Ultimate Team style MyTeam mode, and continuing to incorporate basketball legends into this year’s game, is 2K poised to dominate yet another year of sports video gaming. That being said, there are always some things we’d all love to see make it into the game. Some are realistic and some are absurd. Unfortunately, none on this list are in the game. Maybe next year… Read More »

Some of the Dime crew was at the NBA 2K13 launch party last night in New York City, and apparently, the game was so attractive, a few of the guys said, “I think I’m coming out of video game retirement.” We’ve seen it all so far from 2K Sports, but in this video, we take a look at a long overlooked aspect of the game: the sneakers. Sure, you could have the greatest game in the world, but if the gear isn’t right (and seeing the same generic sneakers over and over again gets annoying), then it takes something away from the product. Thankfully, it sounds like 2K13 won’t have this problem. Read More »
