Hurrah!

I haven't watched it yet, or read the magazine (post came three minutes ago) but, according to the box, we have, "46 new game demos, including DS games, the new Goldeneye game, RE4, DK Jungle Beat, Zelda" etc etc

Running time, approx. 95(!) minutes.

Even with the multiplayer I didn't find Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow that great.

Was a real disappointment as the viewable demo of the Live mode made it look really cool.

I wouldn't bother if I was you. Without the multiplayer Pandorra Tomorrow is really average, it's also a hell of a lot shorter than the original which was pretty short anyway. It's far too linear and begins to grate after a while.

The only bit the original SPlinter Cell team worked on was the multiplayer, the single player was handled by a different team as the main team were busy with Splinter Cell 3. It really shows as well, there are some excellent moments, but for the most part it's too easy and pretty boring.

I've seen most of the stuff ont'internet - but it's always nice to have everything there for you, and on a decent sized screen.

Haven't looked at the actual DVD yet - just came in from work - but I saw some of GoldenEye 2 running off a PS2 DVD. It didn't look that great, to be honest - there wasn't any bullet-tracer line thingies that I could see, and I like me lines for quick re-aiming.

They are doing an overseas subscription offer at the moment, of £40 for 13 issues delivered to your door, month by month. That works out at around £3 per issue, when it costs £4 in the shops anyway.

Mmmmm that DVD is HUGE. So many GC games, and the Bonus Feature Kitts-Cam is so excellent. Watching someone play Resi 4 really makes me want it bad.

The magazine isn't half bad either, with a helluva lot of news, but only 2 reviews (where is SC:PT? I've got it on GAD and it better be good).

I played Spiderman 2 yesterday and NGC are definitely right about it - you really feel like spiderman when you play it.
I also enjoyed the Zelda Timeline thing, even if they did do it only about 10 or so issues ago.

I see the cheeky tykes have pushed the price from £3.50 to £3.99 recently, probably with the DVD in mind. Only 4 issues until the big 100.
