Well, I got it about 3 days ago. I suppose you're all just lazy feckers.
There's only 4 reviews (of GC games) - the main one being, of course, Resi 4 which gets 97% and 16 pages (15% of the magazine, 'tis a skinny issue.) And for some reason Leon steps in as 'guest editor' of the magazine.
Also, NBA Street V3 (with the Mario characters in it) gets 90%, and Mario Tennis 91%.
Nothing else of particular excitement - they still exclaim that Starfox will be teh 1337 despite growing evidence on the contrary. There's some award thingies, and a quite amusing EA snakes-and-ladders game, letters page gets upped to 4 pages. Plus other stuff.
Generally meh, and you get some amazing Resi 4 .... wait for it ... stickers!111 omfg!1 woo
yup

Sounds like NGC are going a bit NOM - free stickers?
And I've heard lots of disappointing things about Mario Tennis - it certainly doesn't sound like a 91% game.

Great scores this issue! Some top games are a coming. And I do have hope for Starfox. I hear it is short but being a wealthy owner of games as I am, I fear not.

Scary games are great. Anything that can get your heart racing and your palms sweating must be good. There are few that actually do though. Doom 3's intensity was lost because it was very repetitive and predictable thus making it very unscary.

No, better.
Its four opinions (expert ones) molded into one verdict. Much more accurate, I'd say.
Then again, it'd probably be better to do five 20/20's.
Meh.

Funny how I could watch those human dissections with absolutely no problem, but one glimse of a fake computer creature in the shadows and I can't stop shaking for a week.
As with a load of other GC games in Europe - with a half-decent ad campaign this could be exactly the game to get the console back on form.

(note to self- 1) buy new underwear. 2) buy resi 4)
The only game to scare the wit out of me was the original half life, when a face hugger jumped me when I was walking along a bridge.
Doom 3 came close, silent hill 2 just got me confused.
you could pick up the console and game for near enough 55 quid.
this should help to boost the sales for the GC and show gamers it can be a mature machine.
plus it kicks sonys sorry behind graphics wise.
