This is the last update of this FAQ, although small updates continue as I get
this FAQ posted on other sites besides GameFaqs. Summer is nearly here (6
weeks for me at the time of this writing) and it's gonna be great. My counter-
strike faq is coming along nicely and may make its pre-summer due date. My
next FAQ after my CS one will either be Medal Of Honour or Battlefield 1942.

E3 was pretty cool, I didn't get to go but I was practically sitting on my
computer on the gamespy home page hitting the F5 key waiting for stuff to come
in. HL2 is looking amazing so does Battlefield 2. I wanted to see more from
GTA san adres though besides screen shots. I liked Warhammer Online also.
Anyway E3 was cool. Well that's all for me, Zakaloot out.

|| (iii) Why Buy This Game ||
|| ||
||==========================================================================||
||==========================================================================||

Seeing that NHL 2004 is out and the reviews are raving it, why would anyone
buy NHL 2002? There are a few reasons actually some are:

Non-Realism- EA Sports saw the success of Sega's NHL series EA changed its
entire franchise to realism instead of semi-realism with NHL 2004. Many fans
of the franchise like the semi-realism taste to it but can't get it. NHL 2003
was mediocre (I've only played the demo I'm getting this from reviews) so the
next one in the series is NHL 2002 which in my opinion is a fantastic game.

Price- You can pick this game up for about $10 Canadian (you do the math) at
most stores.

Low Specs- NHL 2002 does not need a monster computer to run it, a decent
computer can run it fine and at a good resolution with good graphics.
