To my astonishment, the mag actually turned up yesterday - a whole two days before shop release! Whether or not the mag is in the shops yet I can't say, but I'm chuffed nonetheless. :)

REVIEWS (The ones worth noting)
Call of Duty - 91 (Surprise, surprise!)
XIII - 78 (I told you lot it's rubbish!) ;)
Silent Hill 3 - 83
Anarchy Online Shadowlands - 86
Broken Sword 3 - 87 (Get this game - it WILL be amazing)
Mace Griffin - 55
C&C: Generals - Zero Hour - 87
Vegas, Make It Big - 80
Fifa 2004 - 88

Actually, there's loads of reviews, and a fair few with decent scores as well. :)

DEMOS (Again, the ones worth noting)
LOTR: Return of the King
Beyond Good & Evil
Call of Duty
Operation Flashpoint (Yes, the original)
Halo
Fifa 2004

There's 20 demos in total, although that's on the DVD edition.

Oh yeah, and the mag is 180 pages long (that's about 40ish pages more than normal), with a decent article of the history of PC games.

Next issue - Star Wars: KOTOR review and H&D2 review (finally!)

OK peeps, let's forget about the whole rubbish score for XIII thing. I'm just jokingly emphasising the point that I was disappointed with the demo and that, after several years of hype, the game isn't as good as it was made out to be! Ofcourse it's not rubbish...

And gamezfreak, please don't ever suggest the end of PCGamer again. It made me shiver with fright. ;)

I'll be getting CoD too, must have :) 78% isn't a bad score, it's above average.

I'm not a cheap skate though, and I'd rather have the full, proper version of the game rather than some cut down, virus ridden program from kazaa.

You can get everything from kazaa now. Except Bf CD2 it appears. Oops.

OH I KNOW!
My mate said he would shell out for a TV, but I said to him WHY?
Just go into someone's house and take theirs!
He's such a mug.
