I'm not exactly on the cutting-edge but these are the games monopolizing my time in order of most to least:
  • Madden 07 (PS2)
  • NHL 07 (PS2)
  • MVP 06 (PS2)
  • NASCAR 07 & Hot Shots Tennis (PS2)
Hopefully NBA Live 08 (PS2) will be added to this list this weekend.
 
I'm actually enjoying Madden 07 and NHL 07 quite a bit right now. There are no game-killers flaws that I've noticed and the better I get at each game, the more I enjoy them.

So, NHL 08 is supposed to rock on the 360 and 2k8 was given lower scores, but both DB and Web are playing 2k? 

Why do you prefer 2k?

NHL 08 is great for multiplayer, but against the AI, I prefer playing 2k8.

Both games have their strengths and their issues, but in two areas that really affect how much fun I have with a hockey game, 2k8 wins:
 
1)It plays more of a variable, organic style of game.  Each trip up and down the ice is more varied in 2k8 than in 08, and though 2k8s AI doesn't always take the best shot, I feel it takes different shots.  The AI in 08 is robotically predictable.
 
2)Putting the puck on net is more fun for me in 2k8 than 08.  The goalie animations are better, they are more human in that they make more mistakes and more desperation saves, etc.
 
I think they are both good games, and I will still play 08, but I'm enjoying 2k8 more lately.

Are you enjoying Flatout, Adam?  I've been a fan of the series for a while.  While not fantastic games, I think they are lots of fun, and deserve more attention than they seem to get.
