I'm playing as Larry Bird for that 3-point contest.
2K Sports has produced the definitive official NBA simulation games for the past couple of years. Beginning their domination with their Jordan-centric NBA 2K11, they expanded upon the formula a year later with an entry that included a plethora of NBA legends. Jordan even shared cover duties with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
Insert Top Gun reference here.
City Interactive is delivering some arcade-style shoot-em-up goodness later this year in the form of Dogfight 1942. Originally titled Combat Wings: The Great Battles of World War II, the game had been intended as a retail game. However, along with the name change, the game will now be a downloadable only title that will be available on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Steam when it's released.
Vita and 3DS reboots seemingly come out of nowhere.
The Spy Hunter franchise holds a special place in many an old-fogie-gamer’s heart. The car/motorcycle/boat combat arcade game was known for being incredibly difficult and incredibly fun. With a modern reboot happening in 2001 and a feature film that at one point had Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson slotted to star going nowhere, no one would blame you if you figured you’d seen the last of the iconic franchise.
Revealing almost nothing, it nonetheless confirms the game's existence.
Way back at E3 2010, Atlus announced that the popular Shin Megami Tensei series would eventually make an appearance on the Nintendo 3DS. Since that time, no details have been revealed about the title - until now that is.
Available now for the PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and on the PlayStation 3's PSN.

What else are they gonna dip all those chips in?
DrinkBox Studios turned a few heads at PAX East with their reveal of Guacamelee!, “Mexican themed co-op-multiplayer dimensions-swapping Metroid-vania beat-em-up platformer” starring a “down on his luck Mexican anmed Juan Aguacate.” Just from that sentence alone, you can see why people were intrigued by this bizarre, yet beautiful game. At least someone from Sony noticed enough to make Guacamelee! a PSN exclusive for both the PlayStation 3 and the Vita as part of Sony’s PlayStation Pub Fund Program.
That Kickstarter Shadowrun game has some unexpected competition on the horizon.
CD Projekt Red has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success with its popular Witcher RPG series and fans have been clamoring to find out what the Polish studio’s next venture would be. Although most thought it likely that the team was working on a third entry in their tent-pole franchise, CD Projekt Red has revealed via its live Ustream summer conference its new game; an adaptation of the Cyberpunk pen-and-paper RPG.
The F.E.A.R. devs will bring us LOTR MOBA Style.
The MOBA (Massive Online Battle Arena) genre has become the new go-to genre thanks to League of Legends' impressive critical and finical successes. Many developers have tried their hand at developing MOBA titles, but perhaps no world has been more suitable for a MOBA take than Lord of the Rings. Warner Bros. announced earlier today that Guardians of Middle-earth is the next big MOBA game on the way. The title is being developed by Warner Bros. Monolith Productions and slotted to be released for both the Xbox Live Arcade and Play Station Network sometime this fall.
