Well, it seems NOM have listened to their customers and produced a new look mag again. It's a lot better than the old one, in my opinion, and it's actually pretty damn funny now. You'd do well to pick up a copy, if only to see which new direction the mag's taking.
Whatsmore, I'm in it! Page 32 - the first comment in the "Miyamoto Knows Best" box. That's me, right there! Ed Carter! Whoop! Rickoss is also in the mag - under the name of Richard Lambeth, on page 32 and 36. Good going mate! The review scores are pretty good too - they're back to percentages, and actually gave Product Number 03 a 56%! Controversial!
Give it a look, eh?

Gah they added possibly the most annoying word ever to one of the sections I wrote. Wicked.
Anyway, I've found the original things I posted before they were edited:
1. What do you think of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire doing so well since its
launch last Friday (it has sold a staggering 500,000 copies across Europe so
far)?
Whilst Pokemon's seen many shameless cash-ins, Ruby/Sapphire put the series
back on track. Features like the Pokemon Contests add to an already superb
game.
2. Are player likenesses important in football games?
Regardless of the fact that they don't directly affect the gameplay,
likenesses do add to the authenticity all Football games should have.
3. Would you buy a retro arcade games collection (Midway will be releasing
one soon to include the likes of Paperboy and Gauntlet)?
If they include games like those seen in Sonic Mega Collection, playing
retro classics would be great, but compilations like Sega Smash Pack are
pointless.
4. Would you buy a limited edition GameCube colour if they were released in
Europe?
Whilst consoles with certain game themes, like the Pikachu N64, are novel
and fun, new colours wouldn't give me added incentive a buy a 'Cube.
5. Are you pleased Rare is still working on Game Boy Advance games?
After playing classics like Banjo and Goldeneye, Rare have shown their worth and titles like Diddy Kong Pilot could give Nintendo owners their overdue
fix.
And the Poll thingy which they only used one line of:
3: Is Killer 7 cool, or is cel-shading old news?
Killer 7 is possibly one of the most unique, and gruesome, looking titles ever to be seen. As we've seen with Zelda: WW, there are so many different types of cel-shading, and compared to Sly Racoon and Cel-Damage, you wouldn't know Killer 7 was even on the same graphical boat, so to speak. The mix of ultra-violence and cel-shading works like a dream.

I heard an advert for NOM on Kiss FM at 8.30 tonight, a bit of prime time advertising, well done EMAP.
Wow, Rickoss, a published writer now, eh? I've missed alot. :-)
What happened to your old account, TW?
:-)
:-)
Hiya mate!
It must have been deleted cos I didnt use it for a while. So I cleverly added an 'I' and an 'A' to the end and its as good as new. Apart from this stupid red name.
Anyway, hows it going AJ?
