The Hockey News
 Hockey News Yearbook I purchased the magizine accadently thinking it was a fantasy hockey magizine but i was blown away by the magizine. it had so much information on the avalanche (my favorite team) and all the other teams, great stories and other stuff. the pictures ar 10+ quality. If hockey news had a dayly subscription for $10000 a year.. i'd definately buy it  Kidz Sports: Ice Hockey $19.99 There are many cool Wii games out there with excellent controls and re-playability (ie. Mario and Sonic Olympics); this game is far from one of them. I was excited to try this game out as the pictures reminded me of Ice Hockey for NES. It's nothing like it, fine, but then there is nothing right about this game. Graphics: mediocre Audio: poor Gameplay: poor Controls: broke The PC is pretty dumb, yet they know how to exploit the game. For example, all they have to do is pass and do a "super" shot, and 100% of the time the goaltender has zero chance. Sure, I could eventually find a way to counter this, but because there is absolutely no joy in this game, I'm not sticking around to find out. Even the "mini-games" are terrible. This is what I remember: For example, playing the goaltender is very restricted as you have only three options to move, and it's not even fun as you simply wait for the "shooter" to fire his shots in three possible places. The most terrible thing about this game is the controls. I followed the instructions to the T, over and over, and yet, there is very little response from the characters itself: passing, stealing, speeding, shooting, goaltender control -- all little or no response. It takes frustration to another level. The only saving grace for me is that I purchased it for $[...] on sale at the Source. Still, I got ripped off. I strongly urge you to not even rent this game. I didn't even let my kid and her friends touch it. This game is the worst of the worst. |
