    I went ahead and captured a full game which you can view below. It is broken down by period and each video runs approximately 6-7 minutes long.

    I have received my copy of NHL 08. Once I have an opportunity to get a decent amount of time in with the game I'll do what I can to post up my impressions. Those will come from the perspective of someone who isn't a hockey fan. I won't be able to compare the new release to last year's as I didn't play it nor will I be able to answer hockey specific questions. However I will discuss my overall thoughts and whether or not it is a game that would be enjoyable regardless of whet...

    As stated previously, one of the biggest benefits to having the Community Event for NBA Live 08 back in late June was how the game was still at a point in development where feedback and suggestions could be evaluated and potentially implemented. You can read my full impressions from then here. This being a demo and with only the 2 minute quarters it is difficult to get into a flow and fully evaluate the game. However there are some topics which I feel could be compared. Of course it isn'...
