"What PS2 Mag to get?"

As I'm getting a PS2 soon, I want to know which mag is best. Does only the official mag come with demo disks?

Which is the best value for money and has a good unbiased (as far as a playsation mag can go) standard of journalism?

cheers

C!s

psw is good for the dvd....
but i find the letters section of it really really bad.....


psm2 is good....
and opsm is getting better with every issue

I get OPSM2 too, its well worth it. Plus the DVD's brilliant...

The official mag is probably the best buy, although it's £5. It's got the most info and, as SSXpro & Wookie said, the best demos.

Definitely. The reviews are the most unbiased of all the PS2 mags. If they dislike a game, they don`t hide it.


>Best DVD: PSW (£3.99)

I agreed with this before because it was true. However, PSM2 are rapidly catching up. They don`t yet have voice over commentaries for the videos, but then PSWs commentary isn`t great. The recent PSM2 DVDs have been much bigger, with much more up to date features. I think PSW still have it by a whisker, but the gap is closing.


For game demos:

I`ve only ever bought one OPS2M, and that wasn`t a great choice. I didn`t like that months demos, and the mag wasn`t all that great. If you want playable demos, I wouldn`t advise a subscription. It may be better to be selective, and go for particular mags with the better demos.

OPSM2 and PSM2, for me, every month.

i agree, there are way too many PS2 mags! which one too choose! i usually go for the official ones though.

I haven't got enough money to get more than one PS2 mag, so I subcribe to OPS2M. The DVD is getting better all the time, and I don't reckon the mag is half as bad as what people on SR say it is. I quite like it actually!

I'm getting really confused!

PSW, PSM2....................how many are there?!!

I suppose i'll have to look in the shops tomorrow and find out for myself!

Both PSM2 and PSW come with a cover DVD which contains video-only footage of current and future games.

PSW has the best presented DVD, while PSM2 is the best PS2 mag by far.

If you could put the PSW disc on the PSM2 mag, you'd have what could very well be the perfect PS2 publication.
