Abstract: Okay hockey fans, forget your helmet, shoulder pads, and jock cup, because you're really going to need extra padding on you backside when EA's NHL 08 kicks your butt.EA's hockey games can sometimes leave fans confused as to what to expect. Some are more a...
I’ve seen quite a few reviews that completely rip on 2K’s NHL 2K8 hockey and sing the praises of EA’s NHL 08. The major complaint against 2K seems to be the new control scheme. Which I can agree with – but they provide alternate co...

Abstract: EAs NHL series is one of the most unstable and unpredictable sports franchises in gaming. Some years it attempts to hearken to its glory days of the mid-90s with more of an arcade flair, the kind of game you can enjoy with a few buds and a few beers....
Abstract: Det er atter en gang blevet tid til at skøjte isen tynd og skyde pucken i nettet.EA har gjort det igen! Der er selvfølgelig ikke tale om, at de leveret et mesterligt og revolutionerende spil, tværtimod. De har spyttet endnu en ny sæson ud af et sportss...
