NHL 13

The NHL series by EA Sports has always been one of my favorite video game series even though I really did not grow up a hockey fan. Living in the South, hockey was not exactly shown a lot on TV and I knew nothing about it. NHL 13 is fast paced and realistic and I love the new GM Connected mode. It is also much more of a challenge this year. I really have to work my ass off throughout the course of the game. Not every pass is completed, not every shot goes in or is on line, and I just really enjoy playing it. When it comes to video games, that is the key for me. If it is not any fun, I quickly lose interest. As far as video games go, there is nothing cooler than hearing a slapshot ring off the post, getting a deflection past the goalie, slamming a rebound thru the five hole, or winning a big fight against their tough guy.
