Game Entry #2
Gameplay
This game is great for hockey fans and to play two player, against or on the same team, with another person. It’s easy to reenact your favorite hockey teams and players. All the trash talking that is done in the NHL can be talked or brought up while playing this game. The most frustrating part of this game is being faked out or pressing block to soon because your player dives on the ground and the opponent gets a break away. The best part is scoring because it takes some skill to quickly pass and get a shot off.
Design
This game is played inside a hockey arena and there are different camera angles to choose from. My favorite one is facing up; where the camera is behind the player and moving up the screen to score and down to defend the goal. Just like sports on TV whenever a team scores a goal or a player does an outstanding play, there is a replay of the highlight. These are fun to watch after scoring or at the end of each period. Controlling the puck is something the player can really do by moving the sticks of the hockey players, this way they can fake or avoid having the puck stolen. There are wrist shots which are good for up close shooting, but for farther shots you can do a slap shot which is a hard shot for the goalie to block.

Game Entry #1
Summary
The goal of this game is to use your team of players including a goal tender to score a hockey puck in the goal of the opponent’s team. The person with the most goals at the end of the three periods wins. If the score is tied at the end of three rounds, meaning both teams have the same amount of goals, then the teams play in a short over time period. Whoever scores first in the overtime period wins the game. Otherwise, the game continues in a shootout, where teams’ players take turns shooting at the goal tender until one team eventually outscores the other.
Gameplay
This game is fun because it requires players to think quickly about how to make it passed the defenders and score goals. The players can do fakes before shooting the puck in order to trick the goalie. On defense it is fun to check people and push them into walls. However, if you do something the referee might give a penalty which means a player has to sit out for a little while. During this time the other team has an advantage by having more people. It’s frustrating like in any sport when the referees slow down the game by making penalty, offside, or icing calls.
