I got the new issue of the new look NGC magazine in the post this morning.
The new looks not too bad, though the mag is a little 'wider' than most.
There's a nice free dvd with this issue that contains many videos of cube games such as Rogue Leader (even though i've got the game I watched the video and was still amazed at how cool it looked!), Wave Race, Monkey Ball, ISS2, Smash Bros, Pikmin, Star Fox and many more.
There's a nice 8 page feature on Resident Evil, Mario Sunshine, Turok & Soul Calibur 2 previews, and some pictures of a really cool looking game called 'XII', a sort of cel-shaded FPS.
Lots of news and rumours.
Reviews of Rogue Leader (87%)
ISS2 (83%)
Gauntlet (25%!)
Smash Bros (95%!!!)
James Bond Agent Under Fire (70%)
Sega Soccer Slam (76%)
And a few more rather 'average' games.
Rouge Leader & Luigi's Mansion guides & Tony Hawks hints.
The usual letters page.
A nice little feature on the Gamecube launch & exploring the GC's various features (control pad, menu screens, disk size etc.)
The best bit is on the last page. A hilarious mock-up of a Shigeru Miyamoto doll. It's a really funny picture!

Sorry, that game is called 'XIII' not 'XII', wouldn't want to cause any confusion:)

A cell-shaded First Person Shooter!! *SHUDDERS*
Fear not! It looks really good, a cross between GoldenEye & Project IGI.
I bought a copy of NOM for the first time since when I originally got my N64 and I have to say i'm quite impressed with the new look, there's a lot more info and I didn't see a single mention of Greystation or Dreampants.
Argh thats a crying shame, if only they had a few hints for some of the expert levels on SMB.

Well the US don't have demo disks so I can't see us getting any soon!

What do you lot think the best Gamecube magazine is. I ask because I bought an issue of Cube and thought it was rubbish, too many pictures and the review scores were all way too high to be trusted. Which magazine seems to have the best reviews in?
