I just got the sweetest idea: BARKLEY SHUT UP AND TYPE (AKA Charles Barkley Teaches Typing).

They reeeeeeeeeaaaally messed up here. Add this to the Xbox 360 games' problems and you have a horribly botched launch.

And this is why sports games are doomed to fail.

What? This has nothing to do with the game being a sports game. It could have been anything. Still a big FAIL though...

Sounds like my retail copy of Gal Civ 2 gold. I had to email them to get a key.

EA Sports. It's not in the game, OR the box, sorry.

Don't you mean 2K?

Anyway, 2K, TT, whatever, really messed up 2K9's launch.

Sadly, this is 2K's gaffe, not EA.

Yeah, I'm uh.. I'm an idiot. I forgot that 2k made it. A mistake not made EA is like dividing by zero, my brain just looked past it and blamed them anyways.

Valve have absolutely no relation to this game, is it even available on Steam?

If so then I don't see why they're doing it (kindness of heart as they've shown with TF2 updates excepted) - also if they don't have proper permission then what they're technically doing is cracking the game..

I had the same problem with Diablo 2. In retrospect, I probably should have got another copy instead of buying DreamCast games.

You didn't ask WHICH Dreamcast games. I can assure you that they were not very good. I might be thinking of the wrong time, but I'm pretty sure it was Cannon Spike (ok), Evolution: World of Sacred Device (ok), and Pen Pen Tri-Icelon (HORRIBLE).

NBA2K9 is pretty damn sweet! Best B-ball game Ive ever played period. A bunch of friends and I were playing itover the weekend at my friends house for about 4 hours straight. Its really smooth too. Great signature animations, sound/commentary, graphics, just an all around great game. I'll probably pick it up when the price goes down. I know the 2K games usually drop kinda fast so this is a must buy for basketball game fans. Way better than NBALIVE 09

Seriously need to stop with the hidden message CD key thing. It's almost too easy.
