The joys of being a subscriber, my copy turned up this morning, highlights of the issue are:

Playable Demos: Headhunter, Pro Evo Soccer, Fifa 2002, Ace Combat, Moto GP2, Shaun... Snowboarding, Twisted Metal Black, Wipeout Fusion, Dropship & Ecco !

Review wise, Headhunter gets 7/10, Wipout 9/10, Rez 9/10, Dropship & Ecco both get 8/10.

Any questions....

No, they all came in a proper PS2 case last month! And again this month. Bloody useful that!

yep i've played it and completed it (for the dreamcast) and 7/10 seems a pretty fair score..
NO WAY DOES this game come ANYWHERE close to beating mgs...
the story wasn't THAT great...it was all predictable until the very end..
the gameplay was frustrating with the stupid aiming being a nightmare....
very short game (i cant see how you could spend more than 9 hours)...
the motorbike sections are more a hassle than a joy....
when you first get your motorbike started it is a nightmare....but when it is running it is okay
the skill point section is a bit of a hassle.....
but it was okay after all the -ve points...

Maybe they re-did the game, starting from scratch?

Wipeout gets 9/10 for graphics and 10/10 for sound, gameplay and lifespan.
An overall ten can't be too far away, next month they have a review and playable demo of MGS2.

Headhunter,
Graphics 6
Sound 7
Gameplay 9
Lifespan 5 - far too short once you've seen the cut-scenes!

Uppers:cut-scenes, tense stealth missions & excellent story
Downers:Easy skill level (can't be altered), too short, seems rushed/unfinished.

A trip to rent it from Blockbuster seems the best option eh.

Shaun palmer snowboarding is good. Theres a demo in the options menu of tony hawks 3. Not an ssx beater, but still fun.

I hope my copy of twisted metal black comes soon, that I won for gad. There has been some great reviews here for it.
