"Developed at EA Canada by the team that produced the critically acclaimed NHL 09, winner of 10 Sports Videogame of the Year Awards, 3 on 3 NHL Arcade is a no rules, fast paced, hockey experience that gamers of all types can enjoy."
A very special week! This is about the third week in a row we've had a killer line-up, so be prepared to make your light wallet even lighter, me thinks.
First there's Quantum of Solace (which received a "passable" IGN review), then NHL '09 for hockey fans, Resistance 2 (in a special collector's edition, too, if you fancy that sort of thing), Valkyria Chronicles (which, conversely, IGN quite liked), and Gears of War 2. Meanwhile DS owners get a couple of very special treats (just after Hall...
That's right folks. Another week, another round of new video games being released. Kotaku's put up a list of games we can expect to find on Super Tuesday this week. Among these are Age of Booty and WALL-E for the Mac. The good ol' mystery boys aren't quite dead yet either, as Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft makes its way to the PC this week as well.
"Ive always been torn between the two major franchises in puck blasting games for a number of years and its always a hard one to call when both the 2K and EA Sports games have so many good and bad points to choose from, so Im going to do my best to separate the good from the bad and give you a definitive whats what with regards to the software dedicated to a frozen puddle and padded men hitting the net and each other."
"Sports fans, grab the tissues because the tears are about to start flowing. Users on the official EA Sports forum are reporting widespread disc read error issues with NHL 09 -- over time. Many users are reporting the popular hockey franchise works as advertised during the initial play through but eventually crashes after loading saved modes or regular games once the Xbox 360 reboots.
While EA has yet to release an official statement regarding the problem users have found success with two b..."
Flippin' sweet week to be a DS owner, and well, if you're reading this (as in, on a PC), it's also a good time to be a gamer. Spore comes out for the DS and PC, sports fans get NHL 2K9 and NHL '09 to choose from on all consoles, and DS owners also get Viva Pinata, the fabulously old school RPG Mazes of Fate (finally!), another interesting looking RPG Lock's Quest, a new color for the system, and more.
Any Canadiens fan knows about the Canadiens Centennial event, which will be celebrating the 100th year of the amazing NHL franchise. EA Sports took knowledge of it and are putting in multiple Montreal legends in NHL 09.
Some of the great players that will be included in the game are Maurice Rocket Richard, Guy Lafleur, and Patrick Roy. All of these all-stars will be on one team and will be playable in every game mode. You will also see the players in NHL 09's newest feature: the Centenni...
Last year EA introduced Online Team Play (OTP) into NHL '08 which allowed multiple users to play on a team against other users. This year EA is expanding on that: ow all six positions are playable by human players for full 6v6 action. Except, you are going to play as you, a created player. Instead of whizzing around in the skates of a pro your name will be on the back of your jersey and you will level up your character. You can join teams with the goal of your team winning the EA Cup.
