NHL 13 demo and NHL 12 with a pinch of Pac-Man

How we pick home ice
Date played: August 31st
Platform: PS3
Session fun rating: 9/10

I played three periods of the NHL 13 demo with a friend. He's a great player and won the first period 2-0 but the other two periods were ties. It seems my defensive skills are much improved by the new physics and stronger poke checks.

We then played a few games online as a team against randoms in NHL 12. We had one win, one tie and one loss. It was pretty amazing to see how much the game actually changed between 12 and 13, it feels like a new game almost. I also played a 5 minute round of the Pac-Man Championship Edition DX demo while my friend was in the can.
