I think I'm the only fan of these ridiculously complex world simulation games from Paradox...but another one has come out:

wowza - I can see how that game can be heaven for some people. So much detail and micromanaging. Hours and hours lost.

I liked the music from the trailers though.

I played the demo through a couple of tutorials and lost interest.

Can you jump over the glass and hit spectators with your hockey stick yet?

Much like every other game they make?  My favorite is still Europa Universalis.  I like to start in 1400 as the Japanese with a goal of colonizing America first, and conquering Mecca, Jerusalem and Rome and converting them to the Shinto religion.

The passing in NHL11 is a lot different and sloppier.  No more perfect passes every time.  The hit physics can be amusing -- I had Toews brutalize Pronger behind the net once.  I've seem dropped sticks, but not broken ones yet.

I like it.  They used to make a hockey version that I really loved.  Once I figured out the "soccer" part I got into it.  I like those GM type financial management games anyway.  I run the Chicago Fire in the MLS.  My key to success - get cheap Brazilian teenagers on loan (much like the Catholic Church!)

Oh, we're in TS playing every night. My xfire doesn't read SC for some reason so it doesn't show. I'll be on in a couple of hours to play, and I'm definitely up for some 2v2 pwnage. I haven't lost yet. :D
