I don't know why the hell I brought this damn magazine but I did (only reason being, that was the only intresting mag in the shop, NGC was'nt there)

Anyway, It sucks monkeys. Firstly you get this free "wallet" thats so cheap and tacky you could easily mistake it for a drink coaster or something. I hate this wallet thing, Its like those wallets you brought when you were a child and thought they were cool, when they aint.

Moving off the supposed "wallet" the magazine is worse. Firstly the Zelda preplay - Not even a review is good enough I guess, as the game frankly looks amazing. But they rate games WAY to highly..."Hot wheels" got 8/10, ARE THEY INSANE? Jeez....

In the meantime, The mag is fanboyish and the star letter was something about multiplayer. Oooo-er, So prize deserving.

I'm sticking with NGC...

NGC rules the roost. It's the broadsheet of games mags - its absolutely huge.

Ahh..but there's something about tangible goods. The magazine clutched in your grubby fingers feels good and is put away for reference. Not that I don't use the internet as well. I like to achieve a spiritual balance bewteen the two...

I don't see the point, myself. I get a baker's dozen e-mails telling me about all the releases in development, and there are hundreds of sites where you can collect previews, reviews, screenshots and video footage of any and all games on the market.

I pay for broadband internet. That's my magazine.

Mean Machines was the greatest mag along with C&VG. Nowadays, I only buy GamesTM and Edge...

I have to buy the official magazine.

I have every issue since the first ever Club Nintendo Magazine, which is still sealed somewhere... I suppose I will stop buying them soon. :-D
