Let’s get to the biggest attraction in GameCenter — live streaming of every NHL game, in many cases with both home and away feeds. If you’ve used GameCenter on a web browser, you know the interface can be a little clunky at times. Fortunately, the PS3 version is actually fairly streamlined. After loading the app, you get a catalog selection of each of the day’s games, along with viewing options. You can view the home feed, away feed, a condensed version of the game (usually edited down to 10-to-15 minutes), or a highlight package. If you’re joining in during the game, you have the option to watch the game live or start from the beginning, and if it’s after the fact, all of the aforementioned viewing options are available. Note that the highlights and condensed versions do take some time to be made available.

Triggers and shoulder buttons handle aiming, firing and engaging your suit’s two primary modes (armour and stealth). Holding down one of the face buttons brings up a menu of all your available weapons, which are then easily selected with the left stick or d-pad. Cycling through fire modes and switching out attachments are well implemented as well.

While that level of depth and complexity can be considered both a pro and a con, the passing remains a sporadic source of frustration. Icon passing is still the most effective method, but there seems to be a slight delay between input and execution, which leads to passing lanes closing down and turnovers being committed. Shooting is still tremendous while defense is generally strong.

That second-rounder will become a first if the Raiders win a playoff game, so the price to bring Palmer back to the west coast was steep indeed. We find it hard to believe that he’ll live up to his hefty price tag, but Palmer should be fine once he beats out Boller — which will probably have happened by the time you read this. Grab Palmer in all formats and stash him for a tasty matchup.
