I'm referring to the SR mag here.
Last time I had one of these through the post was about a year ago.. things have evolved a lot since then.
Just got one on a trial membership, and I was shocked!
The free gift selection has expanded beynod belief... over 40 items to choose from! A few new licks of colour here and there, too - but nothing special. Then there's a clearnace sale section. That's a new one! A pretty good idea, too, I think.
Onto the main catalogue. PS2 page looking much the same as before, but now occupying a whopping 4 pages. Somehow the PSOne has held onto a double page spread, too. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the N64 page though. Where's it all gone? Less than 20 games now listed!
Seem to be more adverts than last time I read, too. Or maybe just more relevant adverts... I'm not sure which.
No, scrap that. I'm pretty sure there are more adverts, actually. More pages though too - a whopping 63!
What have you done to the reviews section?
Gone are the reviews crammed with detail, and the bullseye rating system. Now we have the more ONM style approach... plenty of pictures and little actual info. Review section has shrunken somewhat, too. Shame.
The cheats section that was in hibernation for so long has once again resurfaced. Excellent. Lots of pictures of Danni Wheeler too. Also excellent.
Overall, I've got mixed feelings. Many of the pages are a little too 'in your face' for my liking. Some good improvements though.
