Shipping this week: pass that puck edition

While the PC crowd is all about Spore this week, the Xbox 360 is all about hockey. We have not one but two different hockey games up for grabs. What's that? A sports league that isn't exclusive to a single publisher? It's bizarre, we know. So bizarre, in fact, that we almost forgot there are two other games on the list. So, which is it gonna be, hockey, robot animals, or spandex?

I'm thinking about picking up Spore, which will be the first PC game I've bought since Civ 4, which I'm not even sure counts, as it didn't run on my antiquated laptop.

Now, I have a brand new shiny laptop, which I fear Spore won't run on either, but am willing to risk it.

Incredibly pumped about NHL 09 - the annual title that's guaranteed to eat 200+ hours of my time.

Hockeyyyyyyyyyyyy!! Can't wait. Buying NHL 09 tomorrow and getting 2K9 from Gamefly later in the week.

...after worrying that 2K9 might cater for the Wii crowd the comparison of hockey demos changed my mind. 2K9 just has a better feel of real hockey. Gameplay always wins in my book and 2K9 looks to have satisfied those looking for a real hockey experience.

If Zoids Assault is anything like Front Mission, then count me in!

Definitely NHL 09, might also give NHL 2k9 a rent just to see how it plays. I think NHL 09 might repeat as sports game of the year in many publications. It won 7 last year.

NHL 09 FTW!

2K9 is nothing compared to the game play of NHL09. And the Skill Stick wins hands down from 2K's poor attempt.
