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!)

Oh SOD it! Meant to put 'Latest' in the thread title instead of 'Last'. What an absolute plonker! :(

Mine came this morning, just played the ROTK demo; it wasn't exactly great.
Although the CoD demo on the other hand is very good. I keep getting shot but it's still fun and very atmospheric.

78% is far from a rubbish score though, and the reviewer Andy Lowe seemed to enjoy playing it. Still, Call of Duty is where my attension and money will be going, sounds great though it's a pity it's supposed to be a bit short.

H&D2 is already out in the shops. I was shocked when I saw it, but I haven't seen ANY reviews or even detailed previews. Seems to have just popped out of nowhere.

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.
