I set up a subscription after the last issue so I'm expecting my copy soon. It looks to be a good one.

[tom-nook]

Got my subs copy today.

Another great issue but the highlight for me was on page 108 (sorry Darran!!!).....The Making of Blast Corps coming next issue!

Now if only Rare would do the decent thing & release a 360 version then I'd be in hog heaven

Pce section, absolutely fantastic, this is indeed a magnificent magazine.
And a quick column on Radiant silvergun! Brilliant.

Should be good for the mortal kombat fans too, although i'm yet to read that.

For the mere fact that you said "Goriest" and not "Best" ... I have to respect the magazine even more.

I hope there's a little box, which shows Way Of The Warrior 3DO, and says it's wayyyy better than the yawnsome Kombat series.

The PC-Engine article should be good. Splatterhouse too

Damien's PC Engine article is excellent. I also really enjoyed the Mortal Kombat piece. Good issue, but then they pretty much always are good issues.

Smaller than a packet of crisps...LOL

CVG quote?....think it was in a competition blurb maybe?

[Duddyroar]

Twas inspired by the picture in CVG of the PC Engine and CD-ROM2 with a packet of skips on top. Behold!

[Big Seany]

I might have known some old magazines would come into it somewhere. Let it go, Damien!
