If the latter is more your pace, there is no shortage of sports simulations available today. Soccer and hockey fans, in particular, should take a shot with FIFA Soccer 12 and NHL 12, respectively, the latest from EA Sports. Both titles deliver plenty of depth and authenticity, near photorealistic graphics and the option to play with friends or family beside you or via the Internet.
Here's a quick look at each new offering.

Aaron plays NHL 12 and talks about Tomb Raider’s “failure”, the evil that is Quick-Time Events, his new HD capture box, and what it’s been like to associate with Chris Jones and the gang at Big Finish Games.

And this made us wonder; what could possibly go wrong in a video-game when physics engine go insane? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can get some gay stuff thanks to the Impact Engine of Fifa 12 & 13, spinning cars, boobs that can go up and down, and games with non-existent collisions (yeah, we’re talking about the legendary ‘Big Rigs’ game)."
LOL! That freaking Skate 3 video collection was just amazing... I want that game now...
LOLOL THAT was the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! Especially the Skate 3 compilation!!!
