NBA Live 08 is EA Sport's newest basketball game for Windows. NBA LIVE 08 carries on the tradition of being the basketball game with the best graphics on any platform. However, graphics is not everything when it comes to sport games. Its competitor, NBA 2K8 is the best game when it comes to playability. However, NBA LIVE 08 is perhaps the only game for PC, so there's no competition there. The main reason why the game doesn't live to expectations in the playability department is because players act like they don't even know what they are doing. Animations are overreacted, contact and crashes are almost non existent. The way players score is not realistic at all. You can go and dunk on 4 guys like every single time, and the dunk will always be the same. There are some nice things about the game, though. It features most FIBA teams. So you can play with your national teams that feature real players from your country. There is the dunk contest, three point shootout and even more mini games to keep up the fun after you get tired of the jaw-dropping visuals.

My XP system seemed to be running slow, and XP Smoker sounded like just what I needed. I downloaded, installed and ran the program. It would be easy for the typical PC user to get themselves in trouble, and the 'help' is very thin. The program seems to do what it claims it does. However most of the settings that are likely to significantly speed up your machine, are unavailable in the free edition. You are repeatedly nudged to buy to 'Pro' version. I didn't see any improvement in my system performance. The real problem with XP Smoker Free is the support. They provide online forums and FAQs that you can search for the answer to any problem you experience. There's not much help there. To ask a question, you have to register for the forums. That's reasonable, except for one fact: No matter what your email address, you just get "your email domain has been banned". I tried several, both common and obscure, and I am convinced that no one can register for the XP Smoker forums, so no one can get an answer to any problem they encounter. My opinion of XP Smoker went from 'mediocre' to 'totally evil'. Use at your own risk.
