  • The Space Jam Game You Always Wanted Is Now A Mod For NBA 2K14

    NBA 2K14 isn’t a game you’d normally associate with mods, but the PC version gets mods nonetheless. Most aren’t exactly newsworthy, but they are when every child’s favorite basketball movie from the 90s is involved.

    MGX, a modder on the NBA 2K series of games, has released a Space Jam mod that adds the characters from the classic Michael Jordan/Looney Tunes crossover to the game. With the mod, you can relive that classic game that pitted the Toon Squad versus the Monstars sans Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd.

    The fun thing about the mod is that it has to work within the confines of the game’s engine. That’s why all the Looney Tunes characters are freakishly tall while the faces are just grafted onto player faces that were already in the game. It’s at times horrific, but it’s mostly funny.

    If you want to recreate Space Jam on your own, you’ll need a copy of NBA 2K14 on the PC and the mod which you can find here. Here’s hoping Bill Murray gets added at a later date as a late game substitution.

  • NBA Rush Is The Weird Spiritual Successor To Space Jam You Never Knew You Wanted

    Space Jam may just be the best film of the 90s. Sure, it was pretty awful if you look at it objectively, but it’s just so much fun to watch. Michael Jordan teaming up with the Looney Tunes to take on the Monstars with a soundtrack inspired by all the best/worst music of the 90s came together to give us something truly special.

    Unfortunately, we’re never going to get another Space Jam. We’re coming ridiculously close, however, with the release of NBA Rush. The latest mobile title from RenRen Games puts players into the role of 90 NBA players as they protect the world from invading aliens with slam dunks.

    Let me repeat that – you kill aliens with slam dunks.

    Outside of this new and truly innovative gameplay concept, NBA Rush is your standard infinite runner. Players will run forward on a set path avoiding obstacles and collecting coins while killing aliens with their boom shakalaka-inducing slam dunks.

    While there’s no gameplay yet, here’s a screenshot that gives you the only reason you need to play this game:

    NBA Rush is currently available only on iOS. There’s no word yet if this amazing title will make its way to Android, but there’s a solid chance it will.
