Yeah, just saw this on a lesser forum. Hopefully it'll be in the shops soon. How is the magazine selling by the way? I'm really starting to get in to it now and I'd hate for it to go the way of Arcade.

Do not worry about the sales, they're doing well and we definately won't be going the same way as the great Arcade.

Wow. What a fantastic cover. Silver and shiny with PGR2 on the front.

If that doesnt sell out then i dont know what will.

As for the content thats top notch. I especially liked the article on PGR2. Can you tell i am a big racing game freak?

BTW i was going to get Outlaw Volleyball but your review has completely put me off it.

Glad you like the cover, we were going to do a diffrent cover for every car in the game, but thought it might be a little too excessive

Lol so you had to settle for the new Ferrari on the front. Tsk the problems people have eh?

I know it's wrong, but I love talking about scores without reading the review

From that Warhammer game featuring on the front of MCV with lots of quotes saying "OMFG 92%!!!" I knew it'd be a bit of a turkey...how so?

Glad to see the GBA doing really well, with a few 8's up there. Ironic that something so diminuitive can beat the home consoles eh?

Too be honest mate, I've not played Fire Warrior, so I can;t really comment (I spend most of my spare time playing Retro stuff and Top Spin Tennis) All the GBA stuff though is definately top notch and well worth looking out for

Hey, no fair... how come some of you have the mag before we do? That's just plain unsporting, I tells ya.

But it can't be rubbish - it's a Halo beater. All the mags that gave it a good score said so.

To be honest, I thought it was horribly linear, unimaginative and managed to steal all the good ideas from other decent FPS games before making them crap. It's just not fun... hope that doesn't offend anyone (not that anyone here will be, of course).

Are you allowed up this late Mart

[Tom Salter]

It's a shame with such a massively rich background plot + backstories, like our very own Gari is making me look forward to Stalker more than I was before, a decent backstory really can bring so much more from a game.

Remember the original Shadow of the Beast? That had a good 5/6 page long prologue to it, and it gave your whole player purpose, even if the game was relatively shallow by itself. Half the reason I play RPG's, the battle systems usually suck ass but you gotta love the plots most of them have...anyway, I digress :P

The Simpsons Hit And Run (XB) 5

Thank **** you didn't score this one high. GTA for the kiddies? Meh :\

[the shape]

See, the thing is Mart, Will's just after telling me that Fire Warrior is rather swish. I know he's always been a bit odd -- and he's got worse since he ran out of money and started eating microwaved dogfood at home -- but whom should I believe? It's worse because he knows I'm gagging for a good FPS right now.

Also seems Will has given Warhammer quite a nice score in the next issue of his mag...

Humph. Not getting free games anymore: a blessing and a curse.

(Also, no more moaning. My copy of games? won't arrive for another ten days.)

Huzzah, Mr. Shape has arrived (and don't diss microwaved dogfood, it's ****ing oishiiiiiiii).

[PeteJ]

Is that The Shape who sits on the page before Caco? Welcome

The magazine is one year old next month, scary how time flys eh.

The Simpsons Hit And Run (XB) 5
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds (PS2) 4

Hmm. So much for the two games out of that lot I vaguely looked forward to. But then I am a Buffy and Simpsons fan.
