HOCKEY HISTORY
Retro Rangers: Bower and “Gump” Had Much in Common (Part 2 of 2)

NHL 24 Fails to Deliver
The latest edition of EA Sports’ NHL hockey video game series – NHL 24 – is available now on PlayStation and Xbox. Last season’s release was quite disappointing, and our hope was that NHL 24 would represent a huge leap forward and take full advantage of next-generation console power. Unfortunately, it falls short and disappoints again this time, in some even more critical ways.
