The last edition of magazines has been a battle ground of the free gifts, I have or will have bought every Nintendo magazine (the big 3 anyway) simply for the free gift. CUBE offer a free disc that allows us to use cheats for certain games and import Animal Crossing as well as a very nice DVD, NGC in woolworths anyway offers a free demo disc. The latter is probably the best free gift just a little hard to get your hands on one. But of course NOM had their very own counter-strike, the Zelda CD.

Very reminiscent of the Total 64 free gift (that N64 cd... anyone remember?) I picked up NOM and decided to read it. It is so damn well funny and the reviews are actually fair. They are often more harsh than most magazines and calling Starfox 2 and Wario World dissapointing and naff proved to me that they aren't all Nintendo ar$e kissers. Also the comedy is great, under a picture of Stage Debut they wrote "That's how we remember school, all cartoon people and japanese men"

When looking at a screenshot of crystal chronicles they said: "After falling into the world of final fantasy graemeLe Saux kept even stranger company than before".

And this, the creme de le creme, of crude but hilarious humour at a Pikmin2 screenshot with the large heart shaped ring in it. The caption read:

"Olimar inspected his friend's ring. It was so big he reckoned he could fit his whole fist through it"

And that's not to mention the brown eye jokes. Probably won't get next issue but I was surprised by NOM, i really was.
