Review: NHL 13

 

EA Sports gained a huge advantage in the sports game market this past weekend under less than ideal circumstances. With the NHL and NHLPA unable to come to an agreement about well, anything, they have commenced their 4th work stoppage in the last 20...

With the current state of National Hockey League and players in a flux (they're in talks right now to avoid a lockout, but things, unfortunately, aren't looking good), there's only one other option for hockey players to turn to. Well, wait, make that...

That said, if you're a rookie player, before you start up a match, you'll want to head into the options and tweak the difficulty just a little bit in a few areas. Otherwise you might find yourself overwhelmed – even if you're playing against the New...

Just like FIFA and Madden, EA is slowly turning the screw on its NHL franchise. This latest edition isn't a particularly revolutionary product. It doesn't overhaul last year's formula. Amongst a time of uncertainty for North America's favourite skating...

The new skating mechanics feel natural and allow for some impressive play.

With the NHL in lockout one can?t help but wonder what this will mean for the EA Sports NHL franchise. During the last lockout, NHL 05 saw a drastic drop in sales numbers year over year. However, NHL 05 wasn?t really that great of a step above NHL 04

NHL 13

 

Without a shadow of a doubt, the NHL series is the undisputed king of the ice, and has been for some time. Consequently, the competition has pretty much given up, leaving EA Sports lording it over its virtual representation of ice hockey, like Madden...

Yet another masterful entry in the world-beating series, NHL 13 is an exemplary ice hockey game and the perfect example of how a sports game should be done. The presentation is second to none, the gameplay is nigh-on perfect and the wealth of content...

Yes, hockey fans are a sad bunch right now, what with the looming work-stoppage. But NHL 13 should put a smile on your face.

Double Dragon Neon

 

Since its arcade debut in 1987, the original Double Dragon has appeared on countless consoles, inspired a terrible cartoon show and movie, and spawned a mix of excellent and awful sequels. For Double Dragon Neon, WayForward (Contra 4, A Boy and His...

NHL 13 adds some great new skating physics and smarter AI, although you've already seen a lot of what the game has to offer.

Realistic new physics add tremendous skating authenticity ; Smart new player AI ; Very challenging gameplay ; Ambitious GM Connected mode has promise

Smart AI is sometimes too smart ; Still some rating quirks

NHL Moments Live is pretty much DOA. Just a few historic moments are present, and they are marred by having to re-create history with mostly modern lineups. So when you try to stage Doug Gilmour's big 1993 OT goal against the St. Louis Blues, you do so...

You hit like... a hockey player?

Strong offering of modes are back; Backwards skating!; Tons of content to dive into; True Skater Performance adds another touch of realism

Games modes are being moved to online

In the case of the good, the bad, and the ugly, NHL 13 has it all. It's not award-winning but it's still plenty of fun to go around. Just don’t trade in those NHL 12 copies just yet. If complete roster updates and fancy new game modes don’t have you...
