GAMES TM Issue 24

[hankwangford]

Or it could just be, forbid the thought, that The Sims 2 is actually a good game?

It's just fashionable to hate anything out of EA, I think.

If people actually cared to look under the surface of The Sims 2 I think they'd find it's as removed from real life as possible... pregnant blokes? Alien abductions? Incredibly deep and addictive.

[Strider]

I can't speak for Sims 2 as I've not played it, but The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is pretty good and that's an EA game. I'm quite enjoying NHL 2005 as well

So what happned with FIFA .

It's a bit silly to compare the sims to the likes of Out Run II. They share nothing in common.

Even if Out Run II should have got a 10

EA can only hand out so many blank cheques as review code

Anywayz, Im only joking GamesTM review scores mean nothing to me. I can make my own mind up about these things.

I love the dragon thing on pages 4&5. :P

No idea what the game is on the back page??

And the porn ads are back joke

Looks a good un.

What page are the porn ads on? I can't see em anyway (it's annoying as I've got bored listening to Mature Maureen).

I thought that'd tickle some of you. Question is, how many of the readers will actually remember Granny's Garden (and have got that far into it to remember the dragons?)

[endo]

I totally remember that game on the BBC. I think it was one of the first games I ever tried, even before I got my spectrum. I remember thinking it was the bollocks at the time.

Even when the review comes after it's appeared in other mags?

*shakes head*

I was thinking it had some relation to the new mortal kombat due out? Probably totally wrong though.

[PeteJ]

I think Granny's Garden was my first ever videogame, which used at our school to teach people to Always Say No To Dragons. I must have been about six at the time, so I don't think I ever got far. It wasn't a violent first person shooter (if I recall correctly), so chances are I sucked at it.

But anyway. I see John Szczepaniak has written in again with an anger-fueled letter; he's so cute I share his frustrations however, as the amount of rejections you get trying to get into the industry when you know you can do the world good is very annoying. I got rejected from every magazine on the planet to be a writer, gTM even rejected me more than once! They is so the bastards.

[anephric]

I got rejected by gTM and I've written for local newspapers about dogs falling over and grannies being gypped by the Post Office and everything...

[Concept]

You should post them in off-topic if they don't get printed. At least it'd be a variation to the seemingly impossible to kill off war/fox hunting threads.
