NHL 2K7 - Microsoft Xbox 360

The face-off controls are surprisingly intuitive, making battles for the puck feel more strategic than in past versions. I've been playing through a full season and the AI goalie actually reacts to my dekes instead of cheating. This is easily the most fun I've had with a hockey game in years.

The stick handling feels incredibly responsive on the Xbox 360, making one-timers actually possible. I've been playing through a full season and can't believe how smooth the puck physics are.

The season mode keeps me hooked for hours, and the player physics feel way more realistic than I expected from an older 360 title.
