Thursday notes
- What do you do when you have a bad day at work? I tend to buy things....which is why I have 3 games sitting in my car.
I ended up with Brutal Legend, Uncharted 2, and NHL10. Not sure if I'll keep NHL10 as I haven't see a massive leap from 09, but Brutal Legend and Uncharted look to be a good deal of fun.
- Started playing Need for Speed Shift last night and really enjoyed it.
It's quite a bit different from my last venture into the NFS series and well worth a look for any racing fan. Part sim, part arcade, but very entertaining.
- More tomorrow, I think. Lots going on over the weekend, but I'll try to get some things posted.

Dubious loves NHL 10. Your thoughts on his thoughts?

Yeah, I’ve read Bill’s thoughts on NHL10, and from my time with the game I didn’t find a vast difference between the gameplay of last year and this year. I saw some enhancements to the goalie controls that were much needed changes, but everything was an adjustment. The board play was nice, but I don’t know if the additions added up to $60 worth of value.
I do love the NHL series and I think that EA does do a wonderful job with it, but I have a hard time wanting to spend $60 a year on the game. I just picked up 09 within the last few months for $10 on clearance at Target and think it will probably hold me over until I can pick up NHL10 for a much more reasonable price.
