I was super busy for the last week or so and while most people are playing Arkham Asylum and Shadow Complex I've had every console off and havent found time to play much.
I downloaded the NHL 10 demo and well it's still NHL. I really like Hockey and will buy NHL 10 no matter how it turns out but I was kind of disappointed with the lack of changes. From what I've seen and heard the biggest changes are fighting, board-play, post-whistle scrums and Be a GM mode. Board-Play and the post whistle scrums are perfect and i've been waiting for them for a few years. The fighting system is a bit clunky in my opinion and I'd have preferred button controls over stick controls. Although i haven't played be a GM mode from what I've seen it's just Dynasty Mode + Be a Pro mode. One thing that still pisses me off is the defensive play, for those who don't play hockey a good defense-men will almost never be beat 1 on 1, and for sure no NHL player would be beat on an 1 on 1. But in NHL games defense is so frantic and hard to control you can't line up a guy, you can't force a guy towards the boards and you can't really prevent a guy from hanging out in front of your goalie all things that are really easy and necessary in hockey.
On the other hand however I do not like MMOs. I never tried Warcraft or Everquest and the only one I've ever really gotten into is Runescape which is widely considered MMO 4 n00bs. But lately I've gotten really excited for The Old Republic. I always kinda liked the Star Wars movies but i really like the fiction which is why i always liked KOTOR 1 & 2. I really want to get into TOR and will probably be picking it up when it comes out.
Im probably going to play as a bounty hunter because who hasn't wanted to be Jango Fett but im debating whether or not to play as a Sith ... im sorry i just noticed how Nerdy i sound ... oh well ...
