Lately I can NOT get enough of NHL 08, I have started a new dynasty with my favorite hockey team of all time, the Detroit Redwings. NHL 08 is one of the first hockey games that is a blast to play, but is also realistic enough to be categorized as a "sim". This game almost mimics how hockey is played perfectly. There are a few quirks that are easily looked over.

I really hope that NHL 09 takes a lot of what makes NHL 08 what it is, but just improves it, because they have made a very solid hockey game.

So lately the main games I have been playing is Crysis, Bomberman LIVE, and TF2.

Crysis's single player campaign is definitely one of the best I have played in years. Great gameplay, graphics, and story. I was hesitant to pick this game up when it was release because of the steep system requirments. Even though I have a computer that can run it fine... I have a thing with computer games where I don't like playing them unless all the graphic specs are maxed. But my computer ran the game with no hiccups on medium settings... and even on medium settings the game is visually stunning.

If you ever get a computer that can run this game, and you love FPSs, you'd be a fool to not pick up this game, the single player campaign alone is worth it.


I just got into Bomberman LIVE, I used to play it years ago and never really looked into it again. So I downloaded it the other day on XBLA.. and it brought back so many memories. Good ones. And playing with your friends over XBL is a blast (no pun intended). It is one of those games where when you play with friends, that it brings those moments of huge laughter that you talk about weeks/months down the road. I am really glad I picked up this game, it is good to play a simplistic game that is fun/funny to play with friends.

Finally... TF2 (for PC). Saying i'm addicted to this game is an understatement. This is probably the most addicting online PC FPS I have played in 5 years. I don't know what it is. They just did everything right. The visual setting is pleasing, the gameplay is fun and balanced, and there are plenty of those 'LOL, OMG!!' moments. TF2 definitely did justice to its predecessor, and I am so glad it did. I'm sure most of you have played this game and know what i'm talking about. I just wanted to blog it and write about because I haven't yet.

Am I the only one who is tired of seeing idiotic fanboys on every piece of news article Gamespot posts? I really do think Gamespot should just do away with the news comments, it is truely getting out of hand.

I own a beefed up PC, 360, and a Wii, and will soon own a PS3. I like every console that has ever came out since original Nintendo. I see so many kids rating games a 1.0 on one console and the SAME GAME a 10.0 on the other console. How dumb do you have to be to do that?

People should play games to play games, not because you think they are going to win some "Next Gen War". If a game comes out exclusively on one console, play it and enjoy, but if another console has exclusive.. have an open mind and at least play the game before you bash it or rate it. Almost all the BIG exclusives are great games and should be enjoyed by all.

Stop this "Next Gen War" nonsense and just be a gamer...
