NBA live 09 read before you buy

Advantages: NBA 365 really does make the game relalistic, Plenty of game modes mean there is plenty to do
Disadvantages: Gamplay is sloppy, player visuals are not great for lesser known players

...Dissapointed is all i can say really. This game had huge potential, the NBA live 365 was ingenious, and i was so excitied about this title i even pre ordered it. The idea behind it had potential, the hot streak and updated trade as they happen, really made the game feel like a real franchise. But the gameplay is sloppy and feels slow, for anyone that plays or watched basketball regularily this would be a waste of your hard earned cash. The game just doesn`t do justice to the the real thing, obviously i wasn`t expecting mirracles, but still it just is not relaistic enough, running through players, clear travels towards the basket. The pace just isn`t speedy enough either, i had to pump the game speed option up to almost full to even get a sense of realism. The graphics are nothing to write home about either, the big names are almost...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Live Review

Advantages: Play with friends all around the world.
Disadvantages: Only lasts for 1 year.

...The live 12 month gold card enables the player to play online for a year. When i first received it i accessed it very quickly and was surprised to see how easily i was able to get online and play with millions of people all around the world. All i needed to do was enter the code and i could start playing. The benefits of going live is mainly playing against people all around the world and making new friends. But if you are a hardcore gamer, this is the perfect place to be as you get to challenge the best around the world and you even get ranked. What's more is that you can even download exclusive things only from the xbox live marketplace where you can't get from anywhere else. Overall: A must get for all xbox 360 owners. It completes the console and makes the xbxo 360 that much better....

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox live

Advantages: Online gaming, good value, networking
Disadvantages: Some lag, temptation to spend more money on extras

...Xbox Live is good value compared to some other online subscriptions e.g. World of Warcradt or Everquest as with these you pay everymonth just for one game, whereas with xbox live you only pay once to go online with pretty much all your games. You then get tempted, however, to pay for extra online contect such as extra levels, characters, backdrops for your xbox live dashboard, arcade games etc. etc. So it's never as cheap as it seems! The service on xbox live is good and it's rare to have connection issues so gameplat online tends to be smooth. Occasionally you may shoot at someone only to find they already moved- lag is rare but does happen and can be annoying. The range of games that can be played online is excellent, and isn't just shooting and fighting! Guitar hero plays online brilliantly with options for guitar battles...

Realisation of Real Lives

Advantages: Hits an emotional connection, Realistic, True to life
Disadvantages: Not a traditional 'entertainment' video game, Lack of sound/graphics

...Real Lives is a simulation game which has been created by Educational Simulations and is a simple mostly text-based PC game where you can pick a person to be from any city in the world and live-out their lives year-by-year until their eventual death ? whenever that maybe. The game isn?t primarily for ?entertainment? purposes but as the companies name suggests more of an educational reason. When you begin a new game you will have everything simulated for you ? full name, gender, country & city of residence, siblings and some basic personal attributes. This goes along with the reasoning that just as in reality, you cannot choose any of these things, and instead you are just born in the conditions you happen to be born in. Depending on the country and city you are living in there will be realistic effects on aspects in your life, the main...

Xbox Live is all Gold!

Advantages: the best online community ever!
Disadvantages: the playstation 3 is free for online play

...On purchasing an xbox 360 console you are given a free months xbox live gold membership which can be used once for each xbox live account that is created.

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox Live - It's another world

Advantages: Superb experience
Disadvantages: Its not free

...Introduction Xbox live is the name of the Microsofts online service for the Xbox 360. This service gives you access to a vast array of content, some of it free, and some of it at a price. There are 2 types of membership available, namely Gold and Silver. Silver is a free membership which is available to all Xbox owners. Silver allows you access to most promotional video and feature content via the 360 dashboard but does not allow you to play games online. So what is so special then about Xbox live? The Playstation Network is free, the Wii gives free access to its limited catalogue of online games and seeing as the Silver Xbox Live is also free, why bother paying what seems like a high amount for the Gold membership. These were my own personal sentiments when I first bought my Xbox. Coming from the Wii, I was horrified when...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox live super fun.

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: Expensive

...If you have a Xbox 360, chances are youll be wanting to purchase one of these! Xbox Live is the leading service for online experiences on gaming consoles, there are tons of arcade games you can purchase, films to rent, tv episodes to buy - the fun is endless. It should be noted that in order to use this code you need to be able to connect to the internet with your xbox, either by wireless or ethernet. This 'card' contains a code which you enter on the xbox to enable you to play online with thousands of other gamers. It costs around £35, unlike the PS3 which is free to play online. But as I and many others agree Xbox Live is far superior and worth every penny. A word of advice, go careful when scratching the code, scratch too hard and code becomes unreadable (There is no way to get your money back!) This card is for gold membership...
