Organization: RenRen Games USA

You would think that the life of an NBA player is stressful enough trying to figure out how to dethrone LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and the Miami Heat. But no, we're asking them to fend off alien invasions too. If you think I'm just babbling incoherently, you need to check out NBA Rush, a competent but unspectacular endless runner made notable mostly by the unusual premise I just laid out.Granted, RenRen Games could have made this just another sports-themed runner, so the devs get props for coming up with something different. Yet it's never really explained why NBA stars would be the proper people to help fight off the aliens, except, I guess, that they look more like super heroes than mere athletes thanks to the game's angular, stylized art.No matter. The game gets you right into the action with controls very familiar to anyone who's ever played anything in this genre: swipe to either side to switch lanes, swipe up to jump, and swipe down to slide under certain obstacles. Notice how your player keeps his dribble going at all times? You wouldn't want to be called for traveling or double dribbling, even under these dire circumstances.Along the way, you'll be looking to pick up coins, but also to defeat the aliens whenever possible. The ones on the ground can be defeated by jumping on them, which also gives you a boost to get on top of otherwise unreachable places. Flying aliens are a little trickier, as you have to wait until you find a "DUNK" icon to be able to smash their flying saucers with some seriously aggressive jams.
