Harsh score for Lego StarWars. I haven't played the full game yet, but did enjoy the demo and for ?17...

[Kron]

Thumbs up for the Unreal Championship 2 and Midnight Club 3 scores, Both have been totally overrated everywhere else.

[Wozza]

Harsh score for Lego StarWars. I haven't played the full game yet, but did enjoy the demo and for ?17...

I'd totally agree with that. I was finished with it in under 4 hours which is unacceptable IMO. It would have been less if I'd played it in co-op. This should have been released with the original trilogy, then the scores ir's received elsewhere would have been justified.

how longs the feature on SFIII?

[mattSix]

great score for meteos - did they have anything to say about 'scrubbing' technique that edge was reporting as it's 'fundamental flaw'?

[Mephistopheles]

Absolutely disagree with the UC2 score. Clocked in over 30 hours on UC2 and enjoying it more than UT2004. It brings a breath of fresh air to online "FPS" games and requires many times the skill of a Halo 2, for example. Hardly overrated.

Just my opinion though, of course.

another average issue of gamestm to be honest, lacking a lot of content. The feature on those plug and play devices was useless because we all know they suck anyway, also ultimate collector should be renamed blokes who pop into gamestation to buy fifa 95 on the md for 10p. I know they had some poor so called collectors in the 'ultimate collector' before but this one was just piss poor, the dude they interviewed only had old sega machines in quite a bad condition, and loads of dated games he got from gamestation, collector-maybe, ultimate collector- well that phrase needs to be changed.

*Yawn*

In the Retro section, is there an article on Popful Mail and an interview with Working Designs? At least there should be......

Yes, we all know that those plug n play devices are ****, but the average gamer doesn't, so it's hardly useless... And besides, certain magazines think these things are incredible, so the actual truth does need to get out.

As for the ultimate collector. Well, It's a little halfpage for the readers to show off their prized collections. Nothing more, nothing less.
You also have to remember that the majority of pictures aren't shown because of lack of space. Joby has a load of machines ranging from the Vic 20 to the Virtua Boy, they just aren't featured.

Granted, the name for some of the collections doesn't always fit, but as I've said before it's just a little bit of fun for the readers. However, I do appreciate that some of the collections haven't looked that amazing in certain issues.

Put your money where your mouth is and show us your own collection then. No doubt it's mega expensive and features lots of Japanese Game Boy games

Yes on Popful Mail, can't remember on the other one as I was flicking through in Borders.

Popful Mail intrigues me.
