Following are some of the useful tips that help you score higher in NBA 2K9 and be a winner.

Defensive strategies
Getting more score is not so difficult in NBA 2K9. But it requires players to devise a strong defense. Before the start of each game, it is important for you to do a little study on your team and assign your best defenders to the best scorers of the opposition. You need to set defensive pressure on each player as well as set matchups for higher rated players so that your defender can easily build up pressure on the oppotion players. There are various defensive pressure and matchup settings in the PC game. For instance, if you set your matchup to Tight, your defender will close out all the way to his man once he gets the ball. When you set your pressure to Sag Off, your man will stay in front of the ball as long as possible, thus challenging the opposition to take the outside shot. Again, if you set your matchup pressure to Deny Ball, it will keep your teammates attempt to stop a player from even seeing the ball. This is relevant for guarding players with high outside or mid range driving ability.

Controls
It is important for you to know your players well before building any strategic plan for the game. Because, the defense skills will only be effectively prepared for players when the strengths and weaknesses of the players are recognized well and worked upon. Note that you need to play to the strength of every individual player as well as of the entire team. Players may find it a common temptation to block very single shot as it is an important part of defense. However, stay alerted and try not to abuse it. Sometimes, you may get called for a foul; you may also get caught completely out of position.

Conclusion
Smart play is the most required strategy for playing safe and strong in NBA 2K9. Once you are clear about the defensive pressure and matchhup settings, it becomes easier for you to pull them all together in order to play to your team's strengths as well as the opposition's weaknesses. Besides, you need to go through the tutorial
mode of NBA 2K9 to know more about these settings.

Guide to Guardian's Crusade

Tech info:
Developed by Tamsoft and Activision, Guardian's Crusade is a role-playing game with single player option. The developers team rightfully deserves all the praises for the brilliant translation and dialogue interaction between characters. What makes an RPG a success story is its narrative, and the developers have left no room for disappointment in the description of Guardian's Crusade.

Overview:
Guardian's Crusade is a wonderful rol-playing game with a young knight and his adventures. The most specific thing about the RPG is its excellent translation from Japanese, thanks to the developers. The dialogue delivery between the knight and the baby monster is really amazing. It is not an epic game, but its plot and the graphics make the game a lot more fun than other RPG games.

Graphics:
Guardian's Crusade contains sharp 3D graphics. The backgrounds are clearly visible. Characters are also bright and colorful. But as you proceed further, you will find the game too colorful. This distances the game a bit from reality. However, this is not a major issue in the RPG as the game wonderfully creates its characters. You can rotate the view to look carefully into every specific details of a room or the surrounding background. You will eventually fall in love with the beautiful backgrounds and the vibrant characters. The baby monster in pink looks really cute and lovable. Indeed, all the characters in Guardian's Crusade are very cute.

Important Specs:
Guardian's Crusade is available exclusively on the PlayStation gaming console. The support functions in the PS game are Memory Card, DualShock Support and Vibration, along with Analog Controller compatibility. You need a processor of Pentium 900 Mhz along with 256MB of RAM.GeForce2MX based graphics card and integrated AC97 based sound card are also required. At $49.95, the price value is not that high.

Gameplay:
Guardian's Crusade includes a very delightful storyline, although there is nothing new in the plot. The story starts with a knight from a Japanese monastery, who is on quest to find an orphaned baby monster named Baby its home. The knight effectively fights against the evil forces met on his way. The monsters are scattered on the map.
The baby monster is his battle companion. He also takes care of the baby monster, feeds it and guides it through the battles. Nurturing of the baby monster is important. Proper care of the baby monster determines how well it fairs in the battle ground. The game boasts of a wonderful camaraderie between the knight and the baby monster.

Another interesting factor in Guardian's Crusade is the choice of battle companions the player gets. There are about 70 choices of 'Living toys' each of which are capable of its own specific abilities. The toys are quite expert in skills like ninja skills and healing, which can be of great help in the battles. The player has to collect as many toys as possible. These toys are quite helpful in the battles. The more you collect them, the closer you get to your goal. It is really interesting to find your enemies shrinking gradually when you become more and more powerful. But the moment you find yourself more involved in the game, it just comes to an end. I am disappointed to say that expert RPG gamers will find it a bit too short.


Sound:
I found the musical scores of Guardian's Crusade a little confusing. The background music hardly complements the sophisticated ambience of the game. Nevertheless, the music goes perfectly alright with the action. There is not even a single situation where the music sounds repetitive.

What makes the game more fun and enjoyable is the interchange of conversation between the characters. Dialogue delivery is pretty impressive.
