The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
A new games mag is being launched to cover all consoles.
1st edition due out April the 1st and is to be called “Toys for Boys”.
Issue 1:
Cover Headline – “Video Consoles responsible for pallid, anti-social kids?”
Feature stories:
“Gamecube to be launched sometime before new millennium”
“Sony admit ‘We are thinking of the PS3 at some point’ – is this the end for PS2?”
“Xbox in not crap shocker.”
“Crazed wolves in store a mistake – admit Mothercare”
“Electronics Boutique staff guilty of saying loads of rubbish when they answer the phone. We spoke to Gary from Sheffield store, who said ‘Good morning Electronics Boutique where you can now order Halo for the Xbox and trade in stolen games for rubbish ones, we are now accepting bookings for the PS3 for some vague release date and I am wearing a blue tie, how can I help you?”
“Tomb Raider 83, it’s not very good.”
“Online gaming, the future? (yes)”
---
There will be reviews of all the new games out (except for Gamecube, because it isn’t out yet).
Previews of new games (including bizarre ones you’ll never see again) and features on why console owners fight like girls over which console is which, whilst PC owners laugh at everyone and enjoy ground breaking titles for less than £35 including Max Payne, Black & White, Half-Life over 3 years ago and MP3s for free from Morpheus.
The cover of the 1st issue will be some scantily clad woman that has probably never played a game before in her life, as well as some pics of Pokemon 142: Pikachu goes mental in Liverpool.
Cost of each issue will be £9.99 and Dominic Diamond has promised to never write for it.

"Old lady killed by glass planet"
"Teenager roasts himself in sacrifice to Chris Kelly"
"Teenager roasts himself in sacrifice to Chris Kelly"
"Russia elects cobweb"
Yeah, I couldn't resist that headline.
"Bouncing Elephantiasis Baby destroys Portsmouth"
"I'm so sorry, yells exploding Plumber"
"Bearded Cleric in oily chin insertion"
Fantastic.

Hmm, sounds familiar.
