"Gamecube Demo disks in Europe at last.........."

I say they could put that across in a NOM-sized or GamesTM-sized review. The big ones just annoy me.

The reviews in NGC aren't THAT big, only about a fifth of each review page in the "big" reviews, is the actual review, the rest are screenshots from the game. Look at the Zelda, Metroid, or Mario Sunshine review and you'll se what I mean.

Heh.

I think NGC's reviews are great.

Extensive and detailed. You know exactly what you're getting, and isn't that the whole point of a review?

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy reading. I'd just rather be reading a compelling fantasy novel, than a ten-page long games review. NOM aren't great, but neither are NGC. GamesTM seem to have hit the nail on the head with a realisation that people read reviews for a concise but detailed overview on the game - not a bloody walkthrough.

Well I can't wait to get the demo disc, it's good since I don't have the cash to buy the actual game.

Too many long words?

Give this man a promotion to Nintendo Europe HQ, the people there right now do not seem to grasp this simple concept of demo's selling games.

I personally like big reviews.

But then again, I like to read.
