"New NGC"

Yuss, and it has the lowdown on the DS and all that - they aren't entirely impressed. Basically they've relaunched their pocket section and are rating DS and GBA games out of 5 again, which seems a bit cack, but whatever. They also give the dual and touch features the game offers a rating. There's a crapload of reviews and more besides - a genius EndGC too. Oh, and FFF (if I remember his name correctly) got in the Bonus Letters. Hoho. Here are the review scores:

Cube Section:

Zelda: Four Swords: 89
King Arthur: 25
Call of Duty: 75
Prince of Persia 2 - 88
Viewtiful Joe 2 - 87

Pocket Section:

DS
(Touch = T, Dual = D)
Mario DS - 4/5 (T: 2/5, D: 2/5)
Asphalt GT - 1/5 (T: 1/5, D: 1/5)
Spider-Man 2 - 3/5 (T: 2/5, D: 2/5)
The Urbz - 2/5 (T: 2/5, D: 2/5)
Madden 05 - 3/5 (T: 2/5, D: 2/5)
Metroid Prime: FH - 4/5 (T: 4/5, D: 3/5)
Feel The Magic - 4/5 (T: 5/5, D: 4/5)

GBA
Lord of The Rings - 3/5
Ty 2 - 3/5
The Urbz - 3/5
Shrek 2 - 1/5
Shark Tale - 1/5
And Ninja Turtles, Pacman World, Ms Pacman and WWE all got 2/5.

Overall its a pretty decent issue so far, but I'm a bit annoyed at the lack of proper DS percentages.

Ohhhh Four Swords scoring highly.

January 7th by the way. Hope you're all ready to snap it up.

LOL tphi

And in unrelated news Future Publishing announce a DS-specific sister mag to NGC will be launched :D

Yes, that was me.
About the poem that won the Star letter a few months back.

The actual email went on for ages, most of it blaming Geraint's mother.

?/10 is the best rating system.

Anyone who fails to see this is wrong.



?/5 is the worst though.

I find it difficult enough sticking it into ?/10 let alone out of 5. Its a really stupid idea to do this for the DS; its almost like encouraging people to buy a seperate Gameboy/DS mag or something.

Decimals are ok...

Yeah, strangely Cube reviews get ratings in percent, yet the other formats don't.

Which annoys me, as I hate anything other than a percentage rating.

urgh, do it out of 100 you fools :(

I haven't bought NGC in over a year.
I rely on you people to decide what games to get.
Pretty much.
