NBA Live 09 Review

NBA Live 09's gameplay has again seen some improvement, but there are still a few rough edges.

The Good

• Signature playcalling makes running plays a breeze
• New pick-and-roll mechanic is simple and effective
• User-friendly controls
• Marv Albert and Steve Kerr do a nice job in the booth.

The Bad

• Lousy defense leads to lots of dunks
• Dribble moves are too often ineffective
• Be a Pro mode isn't very deep.

  

NBA Live has had a rough transition to the current generation of consoles; however, slowly but surely, the games have gotten better every year. NBA Live 09 doesn't make the same leap forward that 08 made, and the much-hyped dynamic DNA feature has little effect on the gameplay. However, new pick-and-roll controls, as well as signature playcalling, make this Live the best in several years.

• Multiplayer modes that let 16 players go wild across the entire city
• Genuinely funny radio and TV shows, comedy acts, and character dialogue
• Controls are much improved over previous games.

The Bad

• Occasional problems with friendly AI
• Some minor visual quirks.

It's hard to talk about what Valve's The Orange Box offers without immediately falling into an impression of some sort of late-night pitchman for fantasy knives and alternative cleaning products. That's partially because the name "The Orange Box" sounds more like some kind of citrus-scented bathroom cleanser than a video game, and partially because this five-games-in-one package is the kind of crazy deal that almost forces you to shout "Now how much would you pay?" With three amazing new games and two classics all in one package, it's impossible to go wrong with The Orange Box.

You'll need both Alyx and the gravity gun if you want to survive.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare moved the Call of Duty franchise away from World War II and into a modern battlefield. This first person shooter focuses on modern infantry warfare set mainly in the Middle East. The single player campaign puts players in the role of US and British soldiers. The multiplayer mode will include a somewhat customizable class based system of game play simliar to those found in many multiplayer first person shooters.

World in Conflict

World in Conflict is a real-time tactical game (a.k.a. real time strategy) set in 1989 just before the fall of the Soviet Union. However in World in Conflict, the Soviet Union does not fall and the world spirals into conflict. The game contains three game modesl; a single player campaign, skirmish mode and multiplayer mode. Players can choose from one of two factions in the single player campaign (USA or Nato), while multiplayer allows for play as USA, NATO or the Soviet Union.

BioShock - IInd

BioShock is a superb game on all levels. The game play and features are fresh and exciting while the game's environments and graphics are a visual delight to the eyes. However it's the compelling storyline that will captivate, pull you in, and leave you wishing for more when it's all over.
