Well I don't buy it anymore, but I've still been getting them in the form of "sample mags" (basically the magazine without the demo disc), and it's become so blatantly obvious since I stopped buying it - the staff are just plain fanboys. What's more, they boast, whinge and scream like they are fanboys. Here's a typical happy quote from the ecstatic bunch of "professional" writers:
Regarding the footage that a Dutch mag shot of Killzone, whih was released on the net shorrtly afterwards:
"Everyone went suitably mental. We just went back to playing the *actual* game."
Great, and the point of that was?!?
PS2, being the most popular current gen console, has amarket of young gamers and old alike; so surely the official mag should be grafted to suit this?
At this moment it's just "WOWWW!! KillZone!", and they're reviews are hardly consistent either. But then that's to be expected. Gah.

BOOST BAR!
*Creams*
Let me at the mag!
Or not.
It sucks - if it wasn't for the demo disc I doubt half as many people would buy it. Then again, most PS2 owners are whingy, narrow-minded fanboys anyway, so the journalism probably turns them on.

boost bar,
24 trebor mints,
a big cheat book with 10 walkthoughs
free total film mag rrp 3.30
as well as a demo disk with movies, data downloads and about 10 playable games every mag.
