Myarcadeplanet takes a look into the newest EA hockey title.
Positives: Great improvement over last years game, game play has been improved by leaps and bounds, the game is so deep you could drown your cat in it, and the added extras are great.
Negatives: Presentation is plain and unfulfilling and having to go to work rather than playing this game really sucks.
Learning Curve: one hour or so, depending on past experiences with hockey games.
The NHL games need more mini-games, so you can actually see and control the action, do this and the game might become fun.
Two of the reports are really just opinions, just like this article. Why report someone for having an opinion when your report is nothing but an opinion? That's called being a hypocrite.
Buy low, sell high. It's a well-known phrase in the stock market and it applies equally well to videogame traders. The Goozex Report breaks down which Xbox 360 games are currently dropping in value so that you don't buy high and sell low.
When it comes to hockey on the 360, you have several choices. This article makes recommendations on which hockey game to choose along with a review of NHL 08. This blog is especially useful for gamers who prefer to trade games as opposed to spending cash. When you trade for games, you're not always playing the latest-and-greatest, sometimes you have to settle for last year's game.
I agree, NHL 08 is a great game. I am tired of hearing all of this 30fps vs. 60fps stuff....blah, blah, blah. I have it on the PS3 and if it is running at 30fps it still runs perfectly smooth and if someone didn't tell me it was running at 30fps I would never know. Online play also has no lag at all. Great game no matter what platform you buy it on. You are missing out if the 30fps talk is keeping you from picking it up on the PS3.
NHL 2K8...but good to hear that EA is getting better at PS3 implementation..
