EA has done it again--Hands down the best NHL hockey game ever.

User Rating: 9.5 | NHL 08 PS3

I thought it would be hard to dethrone NHL Hitz 20-02 as the best hockey game ever...but within 10 minutes of having my hands on NHL 08 for PS3, my mind was easily changed. Without beating around the bush, this is the best hockey game that has ever been created.

Pros:
Skill stick control...bar-none best controls in the business
Shootouts are handled perfectly
Playing as the goalie is challenging yet fun
All 29 AHL teams!
Player models are spot-on
The ice looks beautiful, and the crowd animations aren't that bad
If you love hockey...you'll love this game
The rosters are surprisingly accurate
New create-a-team and create-a-player modes are amazing
Editing equipment colors and such is a blast!

Cons:
Controls take a little getting used to
At launch, no new RBK Edge jerseys(fixed soon with a password?)

It boils down to this--if you love hockey, you NEED this game.
