NBA 2k17

NBA 2K17 cover art.jpgNBA 2k17 is the best NBA 2k game that I've ever seen. The graphics is so unbelievable that it's probably the best graphics I've seen in 2k. The game was released on September 20th for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. The game comes with two covers on it. One is the regular edition of the game and one is the legendary edition of the game. Indiana Pacers superstar Paul George is on the regular edition of the game, while Kobe Bryant is on the legendary edition of the game. NBA 2k17 also features historic teams such as the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls with Micheal Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman, the 2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers featuring Kobe and Shaq.
They also added the 2016 Team USA Olympics, the 2016 Australia Men's Olympics, and the 1992 Dream Team. The commentary has also improved in 2k17. They added a bunch of new people such as Chris Webber, Shaq, David Aldridge.
One of my favorite thing about 2k17 is MyCareer because you have an option to create a random player or create a player that looks like you. Once you've created your player, you start from high school, then you get to choose a college that you want to play for. After college you get to play for Team USA, then you get drafted to the NBA. From there you can upgrade your player to the max to make him the best player in the league.
NBA 2k17 is a very great game to play, and I can't wait for NBA 2k18 to come out!

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is a game that is made by a company name Infinity Ward. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is one of my favorite Call of Duty games of all times. The game was introduced on February 11, 2007 but the game was actually released on November 10, 2009 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Microsoft Windows. One interesting thing about this game was that the official trailer of the game along with the multiplayer was released during the 2009 NBA Eastern Conference Finals. The campaign of the game is so fun, the further go get in the game the more excited you will be to play the game even more.
The online is the best Call of Duty online games that I've played yet. Is so fun, all of the maps are gigantic expect for one. The online is so easy to play. The more you play the faster you'll level up to unlock every single weapon. The fun part about the online is that I would always play with my friends every single day so that I would level up faster.
One thing was good at on online was sniping the opponents with ease, no matter how far or close they are. The amount of kills I got was so unbelievable that I couldn't believe my own eyes.
This game back then was so awesome, I hope they can make a remastered version of the game sometime soon in the future.

Need for Speed Underground 2

Need for Speed Underground 2 is my favorite Need for Speed game of all time. The game was released on November 9, 2004 for Playstation 2, Xbox, PSP, and Mirosoft Windows. I love the game so much that I wished they could've made a re-mastered version of the game. It's so fun because you get to choose different race modes such as drag, drift, circuit, and sprint. A circuit race is a regular race that involves four cars that drives around a track that loops back to the starting line. The race is a total of four laps. A sprint race is similar to the circuit race, but the track does not loop back to the starting line. The race also requires four cars just like the circuit race.
Drift race is known to be the easiest race in the game, but it depends on what the difficulty is on. Drift is a race where you and other competitors get points for doing a perfect drift without hitting any walls or other cars. Drag race is where you just do a normal race and whoever comes in first place will be awarded money.
The cars in the game are so fun to drive. They have sports car which all are based on Japanese models. They even have SUV's in the game. It was the first time that a Need for Speed game had SUV's. 
The game also had multiplayer for a while until it was shut down by EA games. Overall it is still my favorite Need for Speed up to this day.

Mortal Kombat X

Image result for mortal kombat xMortal Kombat X is one of my favorite games ever. I love the fighting in the game because it really gets me hype all the time. The action in the game is so intense it makes me want to puke sometimes. The game was released on April 14,2015 for the Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. I wasn't really interested in the game at first until my dad told me a lot of stuff about it. I told him "that really sounds interesting.'' After I was finish with VBS I went home to watch some videos on the games. The more videos I saw about the game, the more eager I was to get the game.
On July 14th my parents and I traveled to Miami for two days. After the two days in Miami we drove to Tampa. My main goal was to get the game before we come back home. On the third day of our vacation we went to a mall. I told my parents that I wanted Mortal Kombat. My dad and I walked around the mall for a while, before we went to GameStop. When we reached GameStop I immediately found the game. I was going to but, my dad got for me instead.
When I got the game I could not wait to play it. I was so impatient because I wanted to play the game so bad. On the last of our vacation was I was as excited as a puppy. The plane landed and I was so happy to be back home.
When we left the airport and we went straight home. When we reached home, I rushed inside my house to play the game. The game is so good that I can play it for the rest of my life, that's how good the game is

The 1998 Chicago Bulls

The 1998 Chicago Bulls was the elite team back in the 1990's. No other team in the NBA couldn't stop them back then. Even the Bulls lost Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan carried the Bulls on his shoulders. When Pippen returned for the second half of the season the Bulls continued to dominate the league, making it look easy. Pippen's return spark everyone including the leader of the Bulls, Michael Jordan to play at a even higher level. During the season other teams in the NBA would fear the Bulls because they had so many tricks up their sleeves. They will always find a way to win whether they're having a good or bad game. At the end of the season the Bulls won 62 games total and was first in the Eastern Conference. Michael Jordan was named MVP. It was his fifth MVP trophy overall.
When the playoffs started Chicago made it look easy throughout the first two rounds. In the Eastern Conference Finals the Bulls was forced to a game 7 against the Indiana Pacers. It was a do or die game for the Bulls. In the first half the Bulls were struggling to find a shot. In the second half they started to heat up and make all of their shots. In the end the Bulls won a close game and advanced to the NBA finals to face off against the Utah Jazz.
In game 6 of the 1998 NBA finals the game was hard fought game. When came down to the final seconds of the game, Jordan came up huge and hit a game-winner to win his 6th championship overall. He also earned his 6th finals MVP.
That was also Michael Jordan's final game as a Chicago Bull, which would meant that he retired from the game of basketball.

Cleveland Cavaliers

My favorite team in the NBA is the Cleveland Cavaliers also known as the Cavs. The city of Cleveland is located in Ohio. The players on the Cavaliers are LeBron James (King James), Kyrie Irving (Uncle Drew) , Kevin Love (Lil Kev), and Tristan Thompson (Double T). LeBron James is a player who is willing to play is heart every night for his team and that show his determination to win. Fans saw that in the 2016 NBA finals when the Cavaliers from a 3-1 deficit. LeBron wasn't the only who stepped up. Kyrie Irving also stepped up to deliever the city of Cleveland their first Championship in 52 years. It was the first time that in NBA history that a team came back from a 3-1 deficit.
My favorite players on the Cavaliers are LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. I have been a LeBron James fan since I first started the NBA. He won his first two championships in Miami. When he returned back to Cleveland for the 2014-15 season, he led them to the finals, but they failed to accomplish there goal due to injuries. Kyrie Irving got injured in the first game of the 2014-15 NBA finals and the team couldn't get it done without their superstar.When the 2015-16 season started Kyrie bounced back from injury.
