It's about that time of the year again to lace up the skates and take to the ice as the new NHL season draws nearer. As always, EA Sports and 2K Sports have put together their respective titles and we were fortunate enough to receive both games in for review. I've spent the better part of the weekend with 2K's offering, NHL 2K9, so lets get to the review.
