Maximo vs Army of Zin - 8/10
Ratchet and Clank 2 - 7/10

Some good scores for some PS2 games. Plus features on EA, Wierd Games and why many games are saved up until Christmas.

I know I shouldn't do this without A; reading the review or B; playing the game but 5/10 for Rebel Strike? That can't be right, surely.
The 1st one was quality and this one looks more of the same but with a multiplayer. Is it the 3rd person bits that have stunk the game out or something?

4/10 for Banjo GBA is wrong too. Although I found it fairly easy its easily the best "new" platformer that the GBA has at the moment. Will try to read the rview though to see why they think it.

Good to see Maximo vs Army of Zin get the score it deserves IMO.

Looks like I may have to go and order SSX3 now, since it seems to be getting solid reviews.

[C']

Indeed, that SSX3 score is really uplifting. I wasn't sure about the departure that the series took (SSX without Elysium Alps and Tokyo Megaplex doesn't seem right) but straight 9's across the board suggests it needs my money.

9/10 for SSX in Edge? Sold!

I'm going to have to pick up Gregory Horror Show too, that looks ace.

[Rabasaurus]

4/10 for Voodoo VInce?

A bit harsh, Im really enjoying it, and im not usually one for platform games.

Agreed - certainly looks interesting

Some good scores there - the Border Down score seems about right to me; look forward to reading the accompanying text.

Yeah Gregory Horror Show was really the only title in the previous issue that attracted me, and now it has had a decent review I cant wait to find out more about it.

I think it is being released PAL side sometime soon (according to gamefaqs) aswell, which is always nice.

Someone over at RLLM imported Horror show a few weeks back and was saying how much quality and charm the game had. I've only just got my PS2 chipped, so unfortuantely I've been unable to import it myself

Is SSX3 coming out soon on PAL (ie, Friday)? May as well pick up the Xbox version if it is, saves waiting for it to be delivered.

edit - just been told that, yes, it is out this week ok PAL.

Well in my copy of the mag it got 8/10 !

Its a mini review but it does sound very good.

Another game on the list then !

[huxley]

6/10 for border down? thats a bit harsh.

[ukplumber]

Sounds like a good month all round for games.
When is the issue in the shops?
I want to read the XIII review. I've just cancelled my pre-order. 7 is a good score. I'll see what they say in the text.
