While the NHL continues their rebound from the 2004-05 lockout, the world of video-game hockey is thriving in 2K Sports’ NHL 2K7. Every aspect of 2K7 is next-gen style impressive (the sound and the graphics certainly), but it’s the gameplay that sticks out. For those new to the Xbox 360, this will be evident from the get-go. The graphics are supermodel beautiful and the play is sleek and fluid with new skating animations making the action as realistic as ever. If it were to get any more realistic, casual fans may not even care if there was another NHL lockout.
