I don't know if you've noticed, but they have included several images of scantily clad women in the last couple of issues as well as images from the playboy mansion on the dvd.
How can you read the jap news section? Wouldn't you have to rip off the cover?
Used to buy Play but after scrapping the actually quite good DVD for the bloody cheats disc to help all the mongs who can't complete the impossible game of Harry Potter and the like it went drastically downhill to the point they hardly review games nowadays, just make pathetic jokes then stick a score at the end.
