:bow Minesweeper :bow2

I'll actually get it if the achievements are easy enough b/c it's a good game to kill a few minutes with.

Did anyone ever decide if 3 on 3 is any good or not?

Spent a few minuted with NHL 3 on 3, it's pretty fun. It uses the same engine as NHL 09, so it's was pretty easy to pick up and play. A glitch or two here and there, no dealbreakers, just minor annoyances carried over from the 09 engine. Good game for head to head, I'm thinking. The really odd thing is there's no real teams, just red vs. blue, despite the fact they have the team licenses.

There may have been a clause in the licensing contract which prevents being included in products launched at a value price, or more likely: As a separate title unassociated with the full retail box titles, the cost for negotiating with each of the teams and players was prohibitive to a reasonable ROI.

Minesweeper is only 400 points - at least they got that right.

I must admit, I started playing minesweeper on my PC at work today.  But I think minesweeper is only fun when you're supposed to be doing work.

What's really funny is they show the copyright screen at the beginning with all the team logos.

I've already got all the achievements save one, I have to play an online ranked match with two other people playing on my team locally. In my first (and only) ranked match I raked some poor sop over the coals 10-2.
