The NHL2KX hockey series used to be the best in the business until two years ago when EA passed them with their superb skill stick. The folks at 2K Sports know this which is why they`ve gone back and re-tooled the game quite a bit for NHL 2K9 which went gold today. Ben had some reservations about the Xbox 360 demo but the demo was a little too short to get a good feel for everything in the game. I know he`s also stoked about the Wii version of the game as he`s been anxiously waiting a Wii hockey game for years. I guess we`ll get to see how good the idea is when it`s released on September 9th.
