Ok seeing as this gets deleted on the official site i think ill post it on here.
A few readers have noticed 2 big mistakes in 2 games that were reviewed this month[issue34]which has bought up the question, do the staff even play the games they are reviewing??
The first was Headhunter which they gave 5.8. They complained about the graphics[funny seeing as they look like Prince of persia sands of time, which they said looked great]. But the big problem was this, 'The odd bike chase succeeds in breaking up the on-foot action' Now anyone who has played Headhunter will tell you that the Bike bits were taken out of the game.
The seconed one is Madden 2005 which they gave 8.5. Saying that there was LIVE play for up to 4 players, again this is not true as the Pal version does not support live play[this is the official mage and only reviews Pal games]. The question again did they even play the game??
Im sorry but how bad can it be if a mag is having to cut corners in their reviews?? How bad is it when Amuze[makers of headhunter] have to wright a letter on the OXM site about the false comments in the review?
I dont know any other mag that does this sort of thing?
Like i said if this sort of thing is posted on the official site they just delete it with instead of being grown ups and dealing with the matter properly.

Has to be said I've experienced these same problems. Not just with Burnout 3, but with practically all EA games. I've owned a good amount of the football games by them on XBox and all of them crashed and got dirty disc errors. But then I've hated EA for awhile, their online "efforts" were just the final nail in the coffin.
The sport sucks but Tiger Woods games are excellent and would be 1000 times better online.
I can understand about the Burnout 3 thing, I was talking about online golf.

Well if you worked hard to earn money that fags like EA are pocketing then I'm sure you'd be a little pee'd off that games are half finished or don't even work. EA do what they do best. Ignore the situation and release an update a year later 'fixing' bugs but adding 100's more.

im not..this is the only game ive ever had problems with on Live.
I'm amazed at how wound up Tiltawhirl is getting. haha
The only problem is EA publish some excellent games so it's really hard to boycott them.

I agree with you and everything. But if gamers boycotted EA, they'd still make a huge amount of money, because well, they don't sell to gamers.
