NBA 2K12
Take the court yourself as the NBA champs, or watch this video of the Boston Celtics taking on the Los Angeles Clippers.
The NBA may deserve a technical foul for the way it's handling the labor dispute, but b-ball fans will still need their fix if the season is lost. If you're champing at the bit to get your hands on NBA 2K12, you can download the demo to your PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 today. A rematch of last years' NBA Finals, the single-player demo locks you into playing as the Dallas Mavericks vs. the Miami Heat. Don't expect the full experience, however. The demo lasts only a four-minute quarter, and doesn't feature any commentary.
While you're waiting for the demo to download, check out this new footage of league vets Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett taking on the young tandem of Eric Gordon and Blake Griffen.

As the video shows, developer Visual Concepts knows how to deliver broadcast television style presentation better than anyone else making sports games.
Season or no, NBA 2K12 ships on October 4.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
