Take-Two NBA 2K9
lcd hdtv, home theater systemThe NBA season is in full swing and I could not be happier the Phoenix Suns are dominating the west coast. Detroit was slaughtered (video recap below) the other night when they came to the desert which was a sigh of relief after losing to the not so good New Orleans Hornets last week. They may only have a half-game lead on the Lakers but their record is 11-3. There is no one else in the Pacific Standings even touching these two teams. I love this time of the year because all the great sports on the LCD HDTV almost every day of the week. The basketball season got me back in the mood of playing my NBA Live 08 video game. At my old place, we were obsessed with this game. Between playing online with random people or challenging each other in head to head match ups it was a great way to scratch the basketball itch when it was too dark to play outside and there wasn’t a game on the LCD HDTV and home theater system.

<--Great Game on the LCD HDTV

I have been hearing great things about the NBA2K series. People are saying it is the leader in graphics when stood up against NBA Live. What amazes me about the new basketball games is how much control you have. Just look at the ISO-motion NBA 2K9 tricks in the video below. Playing hardcore fans of this title is like trying to defend the boards with Tim Duncan over your shoulder.

<--Turn Up the Home Theater System

Since I have an older NBA game, I want something new. I went a competitive retailer called Love’s Electronics at http://www.loveselectronics.com/ to see what they had. At first, I got side tracked looking at their home theater system components but then found my way over to the Xbox 360 section. There was Take-Two NBA 2K9. From what I have read on online reviews, this one is a lot of fun. The product description says:

The undisputed NBA franchise is back for its 10th season. Last year, NBA 2K8 was the top selling basketball game on Xbox 360 and the NBA 2K series has been the #1 rated NBA simulation for seven years running. NBA 2K9 is the premier basketball game for serious players, and will deliver the most realistic, stylistic, and feature-rich simulation experience ever available in the NBA 2K franchise - from game play to graphics, presentation and online features.


This looks like the perfect title to keep me on the hardwood when there isn’t a game on the LCD HDTV. With the holidays coming up, I may just have to email a link to Love’s Electronics to my parents for a gift idea.
