The end of summer marks a holiday for gamers that love sports. That time of year has become synonymous with the release of the biggest sports titles in the gaming industry, beginning with NCAA Football, followed by Madden NFL, NHL and then FIFA. Yes, I know there are other sports games … but these four EA Sports titles account for the largest following.
EA Sports has evolved over the last decade to produce excellent sports titles that promote (mechanics permitting) a realistic, engaging and active experience in which you can play your favorite sport from the comfort of your own couch (I still encourage you to walk outside once in a while since playing NHL from the couch is terrible exercise). Regardless of a lack of hockey game competitors, NHL 13 has plenty to offer us this year that makes it worth game.
Adam Burton of Laser Lemming Writes "
Im in an abusive relationship with EA Sports
There.. I said it.
For some reason I didn’t really want to admit it to myself until now, like some abuse victim who still thinks they can change him for the better. I reassured myself with anything good that I could find and ignored the horror that lay before me, but no more. Today I’ve decided to give them an ultimatum. Change your ways or lose me forever."
I used to be a NHL2K guy and I'm so sad I have to get EA's game.
They're so lazy, I mean, how hard is it to get the in-game player faces right on more than like 20%.
The menus are pathetic and graphics are okay.
No wonder their NBA games are failing.
Anyways, the game is still fun, but it should be so much nicer.
GameInformer: "We try to recreate the biggest sports trades of the past seasons in NBA 2K13, NHL 13, and Madden NHL 13. Which, if any, series gets it right?"
It isn’t even a contest this week as EB Games completely dominates everybody else with their Game Days sale. Since there’s so many deals, we’ll just skip right ahead to the action.
So I can get a White 500GB PS3 with a yr subscription to PS+ and all the free games I can download($299.99). Plus, get a White Assassins Creed PS Vita with the game and memory card($249.99) and then get PSASBR which I can play on both systems ($39.99). Reg Price = $589.97...EB sale price = $449.98.
Thats not bad, saving a $140 and I can get reacquainted with PlayStation before PS4 launches....hmmmm
