As it looks more and more like at least part of the NHL season will be lost to millionaires playing an elaborate game of financial chicken, hockey fans no doubt get more and more upset.
One of the few things hockey fans can look forward to this fall is the September 11 release of
NHL '13. Make sure you visit Gaming Nexus on the 11th to read our review.
In the meantime, new information continues to trickle out. This time, it's the game's soundtrack. EA Sports game soundtracks are always fascinating to me because they try to appeal to everyone while at the same time trying to strike a balance between relatively unknown artists and artists are probably well known but not exactly oozing with mainstream popularity.
This year's
NHL '13 soundtrack, which you can see below, seems to follow that template exactly.
