Great for a No-Name Brand!
This has great sound for such a lightweight speaker. I love the features of having volume control and being able to use it in the shower or outdoors in a slight rain as well. It charges fast and is very versatile. It's also very durable as it can be dropped from table height with no damage. My other speaker fell from table height and cracked and fell apart after a few incidents with our kids, but not this one! My only complaint is the hideous color options. I got the "construction orange" only because that was the cheapest available. But I would've preferred any lower profile color such as gray or black. Sadly those didn't appear as an option at the time of writing this review.

This Is To Basketball What Madden Is To Football

GRAPHICS: A better looking game than NBA Live. Most importantly, the game runs pretty smooth during gameplay (not so much during replays).
GAMEPLAY: Isomotion has returned, and it functions are as good as ever. This is basically controlling all you player's motion, even shooting, with the analog sticks (I still prefer the face buttons myself). The interesting thing about this feature is that you can pick up and play the game, having read nothing about the functionality, and do a serviceable job in a game. Waggling that analog stick in respect to what you see happening on the screen is just a more intuitive way to play the game. Once you dig in and read all of the specific moves you can execute with the feature, it really opens up the experience. Free throws work by the same principle. Simply pull back on the stick and release at the right moment.
Defense is pretty solid this year. The CPU makes smart decisions when playing with you and against. If and when anyone stepped out of bounds, it was because of the intense defense I was pounding the opposing team with (toots own horn). I saw AI driving players to close open lanes to the hoops, confounding easy lay-ups and the like. This means players won't just steam roll their way to the goal with each possession. Thinking about and running real plays and getting the ball to the open man will have a lot to do with how successful you are. This made the experience feel genuine which is what any basketball fan can appreciate.
For those that love tinkering and strategizing more intricately with their teams as they play, the added feature known as "on the fly coaching" is a welcomed tool. This allows users to make subs and pace decisions without pausing the game. You manage it all from the D-pad. It comes in handy by minimizing the interruption of your experience with the game.
The Association was designed to satisfy the hardcore NBA fan base. It's here that you control every aspect of the team you choose. During the simulated calendar year, there are free days that you can use to build your team. This means you can assign different practices to the entire team or individual player, which gains attribute boosts , but impacts fatigue. You can also go through a variety of individual player development drills like post defense and offense, for example. In the offseason, you can do predraft workouts with potential draft picks, and really get a sense of what the real NBA shot callers experience. This feature is insanely deep and worth the attention and time commitment.
AUDIO: The commentary by Kevin Harlan and Kenny Smith is ok. Just be prepared during a full 82 game season that their comments get a little repetitive after a while. As for the soundtrack, it's hip-hop heavy from a bevy of hot acts. This game has the most soundtrack options that I have ever seen on any game.
OVERALL: I’m happy with how this game turned out. I saw some weird things like arms passing through players, and some weird things happening with the animations at times (odd collision issues) but overall, the game plays quite well. It’s not hugely different from what we saw last year, but the advancements that were made were solid enough. NBA fans that own current gen consoles can hold out a little longer before they upgrade. NBA 2K7 on PS2 gives nice bang for $30 bucks.

Buzz! Is Sony's Answer To Nintendo's Mario Party Series
If you've been looking for all the fun and excitement that kids enjoy on Mario Party, but in an "adult" package for the Sony Playstation2 (or 3)... then look no further... Thankfully, Buzz! The Mega Quiz has arrived to make those oh-so-boring parties a thing of the past. Packed with eight multiplayer rounds, five gameplay modes, 14 avatars and a bunch of buzzer sounds, Buzz is making its U.S. debut this year after taking the U.K. by storm with a handful of sequels and spin-offs.
If this is your first introduction to the world of British accents and spiky blonde hair, let's get you up to speed. Buzz! The Mega Quiz thrusts you and up-to-seven friends into a winner-take-all game show hosted by an Aussie/flapping-head Muppet named Buzz and his lovely assistant Rose. Each round Rose explains how you'll play, Buzz asks you some questions, and the losers squirm while the winner celebrates.
As if the fact an assistant has to tell you how to play every game didn't tip you off, Buzz doesn't use a traditional control scheme. Packed with the game are four controllers/buzzers -- more can be purchased if you're planning on having an eight-player free-for-all -- that are tethered together and get plugged into a single PS2 USB slot. The simple design is reminiscent of an oversized remote control -- there's a large red button followed by blue, orange, green and yellow buttons -- and it serves as your gateway to getting granny, your 5-year-old niece and your best buddy to play the same game.
Buzz asks a question and -- depending on the round -- you slam down on the red buzzer and choose the correct color-coded answer.
This mix of straight-up word questions and photos is interwoven through most of the questions. You'll need to look at two photos of athletes and decide who was the youngest in his or her debut, identify tunes as they play on your TV and answer word problems. The "rounds" are so diverse, somebody different is bound to look like a genius in each round!
Even when you get a written question, it's rare to see the game just toss up questions without some sort of gimmick. In fact, eight separate rounds keep things interesting by changing the rules and objectives. "Point Picker" has contestants picking the next category of questions off a large wheel, "Pie Fight!" lets the person with the correct answer hurl a pie in an attempt to knock his or her opponent out of the round, and a person who answers a question correct in "Globetrotter" gets to pick the next country questions will originate from. Don't like one of the mini-quizzes? You can choose to start a custom game and eliminate the bothersome round from the start. There's even an instrumental cover of Europe's classic "Final Countdown" when Buzz introduces the Final Countdown round.
And that's just scratching the surface of what's on this disc. Beyond the multiplayer game show -- and the various difficulties -- you and some friends can go at it in Team Play (a mode that has you passing the buzzers amongst teammates), Quickfire Quiz (choose the number of questions you want from a list of 10 to 100 and see who has the fastest fingers) and Quizmaster (one person vocally asks their own questions, the players buzz in, and the Quizmaster uses a PS2 controller to tell people if they're right or wrong). Got no friends? The single-player mode tracks your high scores so that you can monitor your progress while weeping in your friend-less depression.
A must have at any party!
