Lloyd, G: Symphonies Nos 2 & 9

Advantages: Deep association mode, great gameplay and graphics
Disadvantages: 2K10 is released soon, commentary is not great.

...draft or trade deadline. Trading players in this game is also a lot of fun. It is also pretty realistic in that you really have to pick your timing of trades or who and where you want to trade to. The success of your proposed trades also depends greatly on your financial situation and the financial situation of the other team. A good addition to the trading mechanism is that you can complete 3 team trades, which is essentially adding another team to the trade. So you could send one player to one team, yet receive a player from a different team. The association mode is definitely the main reason to buy this game in my opinion. I think this because I am a die hard fan of basketball and love the realism that NBA 2K9 brings to basketball video games. Unlike it's rival, NBA Live, 2K9 is designed for realism and strategy and it really does deliver... Read review

This mouse becomes maxed out at 3200 dpi which is more than enough speed... Read review

...compact cameras (35mm and digital) however is not the resolution in megapixels but the lag. In lay terms it's the wait between you pressing the trigger and the shot firing. That moment when Auntie Joy opens the letter telling her she's been awarded an MBE or when one of the grandchildren says one of those remarks that cracks everyone up is lost if you have to wait for the cameras processor and red eye reduction to do its work. Read most online camera reviews or look at the sales spin at the high street store and you are unlikely to see much about the lag time of any particular model - probably because it's usually a negative aspect. The G9 overcomes this - more later. My lovely and long suffering wife is always on at me to reduce the hernia inducing weight of my pro camera bag and make more use of a compact for the non...
