As some of you will know, NOM are 150 issues old and as all games magazines do on anniversaries, they have compiled a list of the best 100 best. For those that care, the top 10 are:
10. Animal Crossing
09. Metroid Prime 2
08. The Wind Waker
07. Super Mario World
06. Goldeneye
05. Metroid Prime
04. Super Smash Bros. Melee
03. Super Mario 64
02. Pokémon (various)
01. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
God knows who voted for AC and how Wind Waker beat Majora's Mask (which was #11) I'll never know. I won't argue with OoT at the top because it is great though I'd like to have seen Super Mario World. Other interesting entries include Donkey Konga at #31 beating pikmin (#51) and Banjo-Kazooie (#40). Also, Sonic was voted the sixth best game hero.
And the free gift is crap, a couple of covers for a GBA SP. 150th issue and that's the best they can do.

Points 3, 5 and 8 are my personal favs.

NOM is extremely funny.
I laugh at how stupid the magazine is.

I took that chain chomp on holiday and played with it in the pool. I don't know what happened to it though. The mag's funny though.

I have to admit it's funnier than it was a couple of years ago but that's not saying much.
the main reason i buy nom is because its so dam funny! no magazine can beat some of the stuff they write. if you actually take the time to read the reviews, especially the captions under the pictures, you'll end up gasping for air because your laughing so much.
But seriously, the best free gift was the chain chomp ball, ive had hours of fun with that.

Goldeneye should be higher up.
I thought the sofa one was funny :(
No i'm not joking, have you even played it, its soooo cool! You need to play it through all seasons though to make it cool!
I'm not sure if your joking. You better be though.
