NHL 2K11 Early Impressions

With a few days under the belt to give NHL 2K11 a run-through, I feel I’ve had enough time to draw up a few conclusions on the game (and the state of the franchise), thought – to be fair – I’ve yet to dive headfirst into the deeper modes (like franchise). My impressions are strictly [ READ MORE ]

NHL 2K11 Gameplay Video

2K Sports’ hockey series has had an interesting life. It debuted on the Dreamcast as NHL 2K, a game that broke ground graphically and turned a few heads away from EA’s by-the-book NHL series. In later years, the 2K series actually set the standard for hockey gameplay, with the series early PS2 and Xbox installments [ READ MORE ]

Back…with a vengeance??

Yeah…so I’m still here… Why did I leave for awhile? Oh let’s count the ways. Actually let’s make that 1, 2, THREE jobs in the summer. I’m finishing up school as well. Hanging out with friends and family when I can. Needless to say, TSG went on the backburner. That, and as much as I love [ READ MORE ]

Ryan Kesler covers NHL 2K11

2K Sports was very quick to pull the trigger on its NHL 2K11 cover announcement – soon after confirming plans to go ahead with a Wii exclusive release. Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler will be gracing the game when it hits shelves likely in September. While 2K didn’t go with my original prediction of Ryan Miller, they [ READ MORE ]

NHL 2K series not dead after all

Somewhat surprising news out of the 2K camp is that the NHL 2K series will not be put on hiatus – it will only be put on Wii. That’s right, NHL 2K11 will be a Wii exclusive, something that crossed my mind as a possibility for the franchise, if only because of the unpredicted success of [ READ MORE ]

Sports shorts

Just some nuggets that didn’t command full blog worthiness, but are worth mentioning nonetheless… Word is that new NHL 10 roster sets have gone (or will go very soon) live. I imagine this is the planned set that will include updated national teams just in time for the Vancouver Olympics. EA’s NBA Jam Facebook page is up, [ READ MORE ]

TSG Best of the Year – #4 – NHL 10

With our No. 4 game of the year, we’ve officially cracked the top echelon of sports gaming goodness. While Madden NFL 10 may be a borderline buy for some (though I do recommend it if your on the fence), these games are no question must-haves. The NHL series has grown steadily into what it is today [ READ MORE ]

Is the invetiable end of the NHL 2K series a bad thing?

A few of you may already be familiar with NHL 2K11 not appearing on the fiscal 2010 report for 2K Sports, causing speculation that the series is all but dead. While I hate to jump to conclusion on the matter, 2K Sports Bryan Lam told Kotaku that, “We are currently in the process of evaluating our [ READ MORE ]

VidHit: NHL 2K10

Here’s one kinda outta the blue…I passed over NHL 2K10 based on the negative pub it was getting (I did pick up the PS2 version – which actually defied my expectation, as it was just as solid as its precursors). Then came Gamestop’s Cyber Monday deal. For $19.99 they were selling 2K10 for the Xbox [ READ MORE ]
