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.

It was an alright issue. The list of ten things to do in Mario Power Tennis's cut-scenes was so funny it makes you realise how sad you are.

For the record, those ten things were:

1. Shout your mum to bring you a Jack Daniels and Coke (and easy on the Coke!)
2. Ponder briefly what it must be like to be an aardvark
3. Call your dog over and then spit at it
4. Smack your front teeth with the wavebird and see if you can loosen one
5. Draw a pentagram on your forehead with permanent marker
6. Squirt ketchup all over yourself and then lie on the floor so it looks like you've been mauled by a leopard
7. Check if you have the power to make your sofa turn into a massive pile of money just by staring at it with a menacing face
8. Look out the window and vow to hunt down and execute the first animal or person you see
9. See how many swear words you can scream out, preceded by the words 'Nan is a...'
10.Phone 999 and whisper that a burglar is IN YOUR HOUSE

I thought the runner up drawing was better than the winner but they were both very impressive pieces.

The only good Nintendo magazine I read was Super Play.

Just saw the whole thing, oh dear, there are some morons about. Double Dash at 12?

It further depletes my faith in the average (see: retarded) gamer.
