I think the most notable achievement of this review is that I didn’t have a bloody clue what you were talking about, but still came away knowing what made it work as a hockey review.

I really like that there’s an earlier game control mode included. We were talking about something like this the other day when playing FIFA. EA tend to sneak it into a fair few of their long running sports games, and it’s a cool touch.

For us. For them. For you.

Ha, thanks dude. Yeah, I'm excited to see what they've done with FIFA 10.

Bwaaaah?

Oh right. This would make, what, six times I've forgotten now that Masters is a fellow countryman?

I salute you sir.

Good review. I agree with the NHL 94 love, it's one game that I still go back to at least once a year. I'm not the biggest hockey fan and it might be my favorite sports game of all time.

IF YOU WANT MORE BEATS FOR YOUR BUCK THERE'S NO LUCK.

As is polite Canadian custom (redundant?), I salute you right back, Will.

Thanks sportsman.

This is a great review and exactly what I was hoping for when I sent you the game. Your attention to the differences between last year's game and this year's game, as well as your assessment of that value, was especially appreciated. The description of how grit affects play also was handled very well. Overall, the review was easy to read, understand and enjoy.

Here's a sentence that I think you'll want one of us to change, though:

But unless you’re reading this review in your Detroit Red Wings pajamas (sadly, mine are too small for me now), an upgrade from 09 may not be a wasteful and unnecessary move.

This seems to be saying the opposite of what you intend for it to say. I think you mean "an upgrade from 09 may be a wasteful..." instead of "an upgrade from 09 may not be a wasteful..." in that sentence. If you'd like the "not" removed, just give the word and I'll tend to it.

What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

thanks jason. and yes, can you make that correction?
