What video game are you playing?

I got Secret of Monkey Island off PSN recently.

I loved that series as a kid, now I get to play the first game which I missed.

Taylor and Tyler holding screenshots of themselves in NHL 11.

I'm gonna play with Edmonton as soon as the game comes out just to see how Hall plays (and c'mon, there's not way they take Seguin).

Don't forget Eberle and MPS too

Edmonton will be a sick team to play a dynasty with though, cause they have such a great young corp and you can easily make that team a contender by getting a goalie. Sign some FA's like Zherdev and Jagr too.

EA Sports has released some more details about NHL 11, and boy does it look exciting. Seems like they haven't made leaping strides like in previous years, but the tweaks do seem like they will make it a lot more fun.

- Broken Sticks will be included in the game. As well as when they are broken, if the puck hits them, it will affect the trajectory, so they will still be in play. Also the ability to hand your stick to your defenceman if it was them who had theirs broken.

- New Physics Hitting Engine: promises to make every hit different. The way you hit someone will directly affect how they react to the hit. Hit them low, they may flip over you. Hit them high, they will go down. To the right, they will spin, and so forth.

- New Faceoffs engine: Ability to kick the puck back. Ability to tie up the other player, gain body position. Lift their stick up. Take shots right off the draw, or just try and win it normally.

- Bringing back the old passing system where the length of time you hold the button determines how powerful the shot will be.

- Disallowed goals: There will be disallowed goals due to highsticking it in, or if it doesn't really go in. The play will be reviewed and determined whether or not it was good or not.

- The CHL will be in it, including all players, as Big Ev mentioned above.

- The Ultimate Team: a feature adopted from the FIFA and Madden series. I'm not going to try and explain it, but instead let you watch this instrumental video, not hosted by a beautiful woman:

Yeah I got them for 360. Still fun to this day.

I'm looking forward to NHL 11, Dead Rising 2, NBA Elite.

EA is releasing a new NBA Jam as a download when you buy NBA Elite 11.

And Nintendo Wii is re-releasing Goldeneye 007. Looks to be updated as they have replaced Brosnan with Daniel Craig. Was the best multi-player 1st person shooter.

anyone playing starcraft 2? just picked it up

I've been playing StarTrek Online and it's ok but it's far from great. I think I might go back to some online role playing games; I used to play UltimaOnline; several years ago. I wonder what's available now in the realms of Massively Multiplayer games ...

Red Dead Redemption. It'll probably end in divorce.

I had to throw away my MW2 game. I was playing it online and my wife couldn't stand the yelling, swearing and mood swings. She made it clear it was her or the game. It was a major decision but the game can't cook.

Actually the game will be released on X360/PS3/PC as well.

That's good because I always thought that 1st person shooter was too hard for a wii-type system

Traded some games in for it today...excited to play. Also picked up God of War 3 and pre-ordered NHL 11.

I haven't heard anything about that, but would like it to be true. Do you have any info on it?

Have you played the demo yet? Seems like a good game but not enough for me to upgrade on NHL 10. My rule of thumb is every two years I get a new sports game. I rotate between Madden and EA NHL. This year is a Madden year. Mind you, I didn't like NHL 10. I found the game play slow and after whistle scrums annoying. NHL 11 seems to be a lot better for these two reasons alone.
