Protect the net in NHL 10

As a very smooth gamer who specializes in playing NHL 10 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, you've probably been dreaming of crushing your opponents each and every game. Of course, you're also hardcore and there's nothing better than facing off with rivals in heated sports video game competition. Now it's time to show your skills to the rest of the video gaming world, as you strive for another notch in the win column when you take to the ice for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 NHL. In a hockey game, the other team is always going to be voicing their superiority and trying to say you don't have what it takes. But you'll show them they're wrong, of course, by winning game after game online in Xbox and PS3 video game tournaments. Still, it takes a lot to be victorious against the very best of the online gaming world, so you'll need to learn to fight back. Not literally, of course, but with your Xbox 360 or PS3 gaming controller, to send your rivals home empty. That sort of strategy may be your tried-and-true approach for picking up women at a bar on a Saturday night, but this is serious stuff - the video game world is far less forgiving. So make sure you know all the moves, offense and defense, body checks and dekes. If you don't, and your rival does, well, there's nothing colder than a humiliating defeat.

 

So, here are a couple of quick defense tips for PS3 and Xbox NHL 10. Though your first instinct is to vigorously chase your opponent when he's in possession of the puck, this isn't always the best way to go. It could backfire in a big way. Once you lose control of the action on the ice, you'll give your opponent just the opening he needs to score a goal. So, make sure you don't skid out of control when chasing after your opponent. Another great idea is trying to lie down and take some rubber off your body. In other words, try to block your opponent's shots from the point. Sure, it might hurt in real life, but you don't have to worry too much about your virtual defenseman's bodily functions. Trust us, he'll be ok, and your goalie will thank him later.

 

So, it's time to play NHL 10 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, as EA once again provides a chance for hardcore gamers to clash head-to-head. When you're ready for the absolute best, check out sports video game tournaments for cash against plenty of online rivals.
