Got issue #112 in the post yesterday. I haven't had much of a chance to read it yet. There is no coverage of the Revolution. It must have been too late to include anything. But they do have a hands-on article on the Game Boy Micro.

 

Free gift was a A-Z guide to Zelda book.

 

A lot of reviews in this months mag also.

Wow, a free book. Does anyone actually read those things?

 

 

I know, it's pretty pathetic. I'd rather have a lower priced magazine and no books. Whatever happend to NGC-TV DVDs? There were 3 of those and then they stopped :hmm:

Argh I hate how they rate DS+GBA games out of 5.

I know it's terrible. They should be out of 10 at least. I don't see why they choose to score them out of 5.

 

Forgive my ignorance but what is Ouendan?

I have never heard of it either and I have yet to read the review so I'm not much help!

I use to always buy NGC but haven't for a while because I haven't found it necessary, as theres only 3 cube games left i'm buying, and i don't need reviews to influence my decison for them. As it gets close to REV's launch, i'll start buying monthly again.

FIFA 2006: 70%

 

Ouch! That's a pretty harsh score judging by the general vibe. It seems to have been fairly positively received by most people (bar the odd PES purist), and I had hoped it would turn out really good on GC. Especially as my copy's on it's way now, and CUBE gave it a very positive write-up (8.3) saying it was the best Fifa in ages. Out of interest, what's the gist of NGC's review? Is it a poor conversion to the GC, or is it just not so good a game? I'd buy the mag myself to find out, but it doesn't seem to be out yet (well, not 'round here anyways!).

 

Cheers.
