With Fight Night, FIFA and Tiger Woods all benefiting from Xbox 360's shiny new visual tricks, the NBA Street series is the next in EA's sports line-up to make the jump.
Whether it's the eerily lifelike character models (complete with all-important next-gen coat of sweat) or the hyper-saturated lighting making its courts look like a scene from CSI, NBA Street Homecourt certainly looks the part.

How it plays is another matter; while its urban stylings probably can't undergo as interesting a next-gen revolution as EA Chicago's plans for Def Jam, we hope EA can use the power of 360 (and PS3) to bring us a few surprises before the game's yet-to-be-announced launch.
