PSU: EA Sports has nailed another hockey game this year. At this point in the NHL series, it’s getting hard to improve upon the solid gameplay and plethora of modes, but somehow EA Canada manages to make enough tweaks to previous installments to warrant yet another purchase. And in NHL 12, you’ll get just enough updates to keep diehard hockey fans cooped-up for the next several months. Improve A.I., tighter on-ice action, and a slightly richer presentation are welcome additions, but some of the new features fall a bit short. Still, NHL 12 is yet another terrific hockey game, and well worth the attention of any puck fan.

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!
