GameSpot - Why NHL 14's retro-inspired mode is making us pine for the era of simpler sports games.
Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: "Just a few days ago, hockey fans were saddened to see the ageless wonder Jaromir Jagr depart from the NHL. Injuries and a lack of play caused the Czech legend and the Calgary Flames to terminate his contract and soon after to return home to play for the Kladno Knights overseas. As we bid farewell to this hockey great and future Hall of Famer, we also look back at the game which featured a list of all-stars from an era that is now history with NHL ‘94."
EA Sports NHL 18 has hit retail, so we decided to celebrate the release with a list of the ten best hockey games ever made.
I'm so out of the loop, but damn I loved me my couch pvp on NHLPA back in the day!
SNES at my house, Sega at my friend's. All bases covered
Blades of Steel was so funny to play with friends, I loved that game. Damn good hockey game, but having a punch up with someone was the real reason to play it.
There are a few games that prominently feature Canada, so let's take a look at the titles that do the Great White North proud.
First thing to come to mind is bioware in terms of video games
Don't starve are great developers too, their next game is shaping up to be very fun too
enjoy your Canada Day :) (likes Canadia doesn't understand what's up with people in my home country (United States) downplaying them all the time)
I think it's because for some it's dangerous to have a successful, more liberal society sitting right next door. It goes against their narrative that such a country could exist so they need to point out and exaggerate any flaws that they can find.
The fact is every country is screwed up in their own way. Rather than picking on the flaws, we should be taking note of the successes and what we might learn from them to improve our own situations.
That's actually pretty awesome nice throwback!
NHL 93 on SEGA Genesis > NHL 94 on either platform, nevertheless both were the best of NHL games of that era hands down, as Ice Hockey and Blades of Steel were in the NES era.. Although in the NES era there was less competition.
NHL 94 on sega CD
Loved this game had it on the Sega cd. Many hours playing this and sensible soccer.
Good old days.
