    "A definite improvement, EA is making a strong push to reclaim the top hockey game"

    If somehow NHL 08 and NHL 2k8 could be combined we could have ourselves a perfect hockey game. The shot stick feature is still as slick as last year and the addition of the left bumper as the one on one move improves on ... Read Full Review
