"NHL 12 has come to reward the “real” hockey fans. This isn’t a game for your little sister to pick up and say “Oo, look at all the pretty jerseys”. No, no, no, this is for the day-in, day-out hard-grinders who understand the rigors and passion that go into making a NHL season work." ~ Devin Charles, GameRevolution

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.
Every month on Xbox Live, games and add-ons are permanently reduced to a much cheaper price. Last month, we had a lot of reduced content, this month, we don’t see quite as much.
Just Cause 2 is free on PSN+ for anyone thats interested, downloaded it but not got around to playing it yet. Not enough hours in the day!
Best deal on the list imho is Trials HD at 1/3rd off.
Just Cause 2 remains cheaper at retail.
You can get the triple pack of Trials HD, Limbo and Splosion Man for $9.99 at Newegg. All on a single disk!
I do not understand why hockey is not as popular in the States. Here is a sport where blood feuds regularly erupt, where the players are encouraged to weaponize their feet, and wield glamorized dueling sticks.
The Canadians know exactly how it is. :|
Time to cool off.
I know a lot people complain about EA Sports, but NHL is one franchise they know how to do well.
Every once in a while I find myself "needing" a hockey game, so I go out and I buy one... I don't watch/play/care about hockey at all. Still, I enjoy it for a while, and this could be fun.
