ButtonMasher: NHL 12 is a great game on the ice. Off the ice, he’s a wife beating drunk, or something. Actual fans of the NHL and other minor leagues will no doubt get a lot more out of the various modes, but unfortunately interested parties without the background knowledge backing them up will find it alienating and frustrating. Fantastic if you intend to play against friends either in local play or online, but a questionable experience solo that will probably frustrate the knowledgeable just by how clunky the UI is.

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!
