Tape to Tape
The addictive gameplay loop of a Roguelike campaign in a Hockey game? Start with a below-average team and progressively improve it with the choices you make during each successive runs. Unlock new players, buy and upgrade equipment, discover new storylines. Stay tuned, updates are coming shortly with more details!
Gameplay
Tape to Tape combines the fast-paced gameplay of 90s hockey games with the gameplay enhancements of modern games, combining the best from arcade and sim-like games. Modern hockey games are focused on emulating real hockey games. The games are centered around puck possession and slower gameplay. Tape to Tape is much faster with more emphasis on speed and counter-attacks while staying true to the sport of hockey.
On offense, the players’ can easily skate across the ice thanks to the skaters’ high acceleration and maximum speed. With the tap of a button, the player can pass the puck successively for high-speed counter-attacks.
On defense, the speed-burst mechanic allows players to always be in the middle of the action and deliver crushing body checks anywhere on the ice.
The game features hand-drawn 2D player sprites and animations within a 3D environment. The game is visually different from everything else on the market. 2D animation allows the game to have much more personality in its design and animations!
We can’t wait to show more of the game!

Franchise Hockey Manager 7
Received FHM 7 for free as part of a giveaway.
FHM 7 has a few new features which have been pumped up in the marketing, but what they failed to disclose was that for the first four months of this games release, it would be entirely nonfunctional for the multiplayer community as well as not coming as advertised for those wanting to play singleplayer.
The new sim engine
“2D Game Engine: Our game simulation has been rebuilt from the ground up, and now shows games in a top-down, fully-animated view that lets you see every second of the action!”

FHM7 is the best Hockey Manager game out there imo. I’ve logged several hundred hours thru fhm2 until now.. The game is developed by a very small group, meaning it may take several more versions to really make an impact on everyone looking for something in particular they’re hoping for that isn’t already in the game. If your looking for a smart AI, meaning understanding signings, off-season transactions, trades, drafting that occur… and your like me … you’ll be using the commissioner mode to set things right or reverse trades as it happens thru your simulation career. So be prepared to play the game with your own house rules to really give yourself a challenge.

Hockey Manager 20|20
The game is as deep of a hockey sim as I’ve ever seen, however no NHL license is a bit of an immersion killer for me, because I spend more time editing than I do playing. Another downer for me is not having the ability to choose between Euros and Dollars or KG’s and LB’s. When there is a complete overhaul to the US and Canadian teams available in the workshop then I’ll be more interested in playing, but until then it’s FHM for me. If you don’t mind the lack of an NHL license and or editing for months, then the game might be for you. If you’re like me though, I can’t recommend it.

Franchise Hockey Manager 8
I like this game a lot. In my mind, this is the version of FHM that finally eclipses the last EHM that was released, even with the 1.5 beta enabled. It’s a bit buggy (ENABLE WEEKLY AUTO-SAVES!!!) and I’ve had a number of crashes, especially during the 2D sim portion of the game, but FHM 7 was patched up pretty quickly so I wouldn’t let that deter you from purchasing this game if you are a fan of the genre.
The budget system is a very nice addition, and I would imagine if you play in lower-revenue leagues, would present a different facet of gameplay in terms of balancing your scouting and development budgets. The new scouting reports are rife with information that can help you discern between a draft-day bust and a draft-day gem; I picked up a guy in the 7th round that had great mental stats that my scouts reported favorably on, and he ended up being rated as a 4.5 star potential guy after a season. Conversely, a guy I drafted in the second round has completely flopped down to a 2 star potential guy. Those are the kind of features that keep me immersed in a GM sim.

First let me stipulate that there is a lot to like about FHM8 and for someone who has supported the franchise since FHM1 but has more often than not been a harsh critic of past iterations, I am slowly being won over with this current effort. That’s not to say I believe it is a perfect 10, but for the first time I can clearly see that the evolution of this franchise is now showing the promise we all desire.
So to that end, if you are looking for a deep & engaging hockey fix, the plethora of gaming options provided by this game will be sure in some fashion to scratch that itch.

Trivia Vault: Hockey Trivia
Pretty much every game in this series bundle or every game made by these developers comes with achievements already unlocked, you start the game run for a minute close it and all the achievements or the single achievement unlocks.
These games whether it’s the Trivia Games, the Word Search or the Picture search game, they are all reskins of each other, the concept behind these are all plain and boring, no creativity went into any of these games, you buy these games purely for the +1 to your Game and Perfect Game count and nothing more. That is the only reason why i’m giving it a positive review, i knew before hand what these games were about and that’s why i decided to buy them.

You get what you paid for, 5K achievements at minimum price. If you’re an achievement hunter looking to increase the number of achievements on your profile showcase, then I highly recommend buying this. Else don’t waste your money. This is not a game, it’s just a way of distributing achievements.
