And when I read the hands-on impressions piece, it was all “skating physics” and zambonis. All I wanted to know was whether or not you could make Wayne Gretzky’s head bleed. Imagine my shock when I found out that Wayne Gretzky didn’t even play hockey anymore, thereby rendering my expectations for the game, and the previous Swingers reference, completely moot. League Legends mode… indeed. With the NFL lockout over, I just figured everyone went back to watching football and playing Madden 12 anyway. After all, that is the sport where the guys can at least take a hit without it turning into some juvenile schoolyard fist fight, am I right? Relax, I kid because I love.
All you stick savvy rink rats can get your comedically sized goalie’s glove on NHL 12 this Tuesday for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
