NBA LIVE 09 has been REVIVED!!!

Since Playstation 3 cds cost roughly around 3000-3500 bucks per game, I am taking precautionary measures before actually buying one. And one of the controversial games in the world of basketball is the competition between NBA Live and NBA 2K. Let me just give you a brief background, NBA Live has been the best basketball game in Playstation since it was released in the year 1995 or 1996 I think. However, with the arrival of NBA 2K, there was an upset. NBA 2K has been dominating NBA Live.

Why is that so? Because first and foremost it has good graphics almost looks like you are just a real live NBA basketball. Secondly, it is user friendly. An amateur player can do plenty of moves just with a flick of that analog stick making it very easy to score regardless if your enemy is the computer or a human. So what it really brings is the gaming experience.

What I really like about the NBA Live is the basketball strategy, the ball movement, the tactics on how to outrun and eventually outscore your opponent. That what makes NBA Live unique to other basketball games. NBA 2K is for AMATEURS. You do not believe me? Well, try me if you can beat me in both games.

I’ve tried NBA Live 2008 and it really let my hopes die that NBA Live will retrieve its rightful throne. It has poor graphics. The gameplay is not smooth. It has limited moves. The commentators are dull. Overall, I can say NBA Live 2008 SUCKS.

But, because Playstation 3’s features where you can download demos straight yo your game console, I downloaded NBA Live 09 and wished that my efforts will not go to waste.

And hell did I enjoy this game. I mean everything from the past that made NBA Live was left behind. Now, with smoother graphics, better gameplays, and those real spectacular signature moves. All I can is WOW. Too bad I can only play 2 minutes for 2 quarters since it is only a demo. 

I am now saving money to buy NBA Live 09. This is going to be a happy christmas for me.
 

Sony Playstation 3 vs Microsoft Xbox 360

Not long ago, I was offered by 2 of my closest friends to buy their game consoles. One is the ever popular Playstation 3 and the other one is the booming Xbox 360. I was doing some research on both the consoles before I decide to purchase.

Now, here is what I discovered. First, let’s take a look at what I researched.

PROS of Playstation 3

One of the things that I like about Playstation 3 is that you can play long hours without even worrying about overheating. Also, Playstation 3 is upgradable. You can upgrade the hard disk anytime you want or you can also purchase your own external hard drive. When it comes to its appearance, Playstation 3 is simply luxurious and elegant-looking. It also boast of its powerful system that dominates the gaming world industry nowadays. And lastly, it has a Universal Voltage Regulator in which you can plug it at a 110V or 220V.

CONS

One of the things that I dislike about Playstation is its limited number of games. I mean I am a certified gamer enjoying any kind of games as long as it is not for a sissy. Also, the Playstation is not maximizing its power. I mean if you compare the graphics of Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 there is virtually no difference at all.

What about the Xbox 360?

PROS of Xbox 360

Games, games and more games. Xbox 360 is proud of having more games compared to the latter. They really made gamers wild. 

CONS

Overheating. The Red Ring of Death. I think this is the greatest drawback of Xbox 360. Why? As a gamer, I don’t want to stop the adrenaline rush while playing. 

Conclusion?

Guess what I bought. Playstation 3 rules. You know why? Even though I am gamer by heart, I am also considering my investment for that game console. Sony Playstation has proven that its console will last for years without repairs. Also, I believe that when one industry is down, th only way is to go up right? This means that I am taking the risk that Playstation 3 will improve the number and quality of games it cater. 

How about you what are your opinions
