Alex Ovechkin, left winger for the Washington Capitals, and his beautiful face will be gracing the cover of this years NHL 2K10. According to the Capitals website, a “fists clenched and mouth agape” Ovechkin image has been picked for the game’s cover, the third hockey game to use his image on the box.
Additionally, Ovechkin is participating in 2K’s first ever “public outdoor hockey motion capture session” next week in Las Vegas, taking time out of his trip to Nevada for the NHL Awards Show. Rather than employing ice, however, the session is said to be using a plastic sheet, hopes, and dreams. Unfortunately, this ain’t the hockey game with first-person fighting mechanics, so those of you looking to knock some teeth out of Ovechkin’s head all up close and personal-like may find yourselves wanting for more.

By now, we should have learned never to expect online multiplayer, or really, any online capabilities at all in Wii games, and yet still we hope. Is an online tennis-type sports game too much to ask for? Apparently, yes; Rockstar has confirmed that their Wii version of
Table Tennis will not feature online multiplayer.
So what gives? Why is Rockstar's
Table Tennis port lacking the online mode that graced Xbox Live?
"All the focus is going into making it the most advanced control system on the Wii," said Rockstar reps, in what has to be the most disappointing explanation of the month. It's not like the two are mutually exclusive. The real question here is who's at fault -- Nintendo or Rockstar? -- but we may never know if it's the Wii's basic online infrastructure or lazy developers looking to put out ports as quickly as possible and using controls and "family-oriented" play as an excuse to avoid extra work.
The upcoming Top Spin Tennis doesn't look like it's set to feature online play, either; every time we see the game mentioned, the focus is on that "family-oriented" play, which, in our experiences, means forget connecting with anyone outside your home. We may be waiting a long time to take some sort of tennis or table tennis game online at this rate.

your mind too! Read on for our top ten list of awesome 2008 games that you totally forgot about!
