"Nintendo Official Magazine - Issue 124"

Get this. Don't ask questions, just do it. Seriously, it's a great mag, probably their best ever. It comes with a free 2003 calendar, a new preplay section (featuring a 7 page look at Metroid Prime), a 'Games Of 2003' feature and more. Plus, there's no review shorter than half a page. Anyway, the review scores were:

----------
James Bond 007: Nightfire - 8/10.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 - 8/10.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - 7/10.
Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions - 7/10.
BMX XXX - 7/10.
Reign of Fire - 6/10.
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly - 6/10.
-----
Metroid Fusion - 9/10.
Doom II - 8/10.
The Powerpuff Girls: Him and Seek - 8/10.
FIFA 2003 - 7/10.
Worms Blast - 7/10.
Robotech: The Macross Saga - 7/10.
Disney's Tarzan: Return to the Jungle - 7/10.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - 6/10.
Shrek: Hassle at the Castle - 6/10.
Black Belt Challenge - 6/10.
Inspector Gadget Racing - 4/10.
-----
Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories - 6/10.
-----
WaveBird Controller - 9/10.
Pro Cable-RGB SCART - 9/10.
Harry Potter GameCube Controller and Memory Card - 8/10.
Soundstage - 7/10.

Nope they only review games when they're relased in Europe so they won't until March.

alco-frolic says its Pap, but he's a t***-faced bumchum who doesn't know when to stop boasting.

huh?

I don't think they've given metroid a review, have they?

If the 'Nom' opinion bit says so, then I apologise. but I don't remember that. they don't often give out a Ten, is that a crime? theyhave given both SMS and YI-SMA3 a 10-10 score. personallyI don't care for they're new system, but It shows you basically the general standard of the game.

4/5- very poor cash-in game. probably by EA.
6- not very good game, possible rent
7- averadge game, maybe not to special
8- good game, will make you smile for a while, possible minor innovation
9- great game, multiplayer, inoovative, original
10- NOT perfect, but minor flaws that pale in comparison

Notice how they will refuse to give any other game apart from Mario a 10/10 score. When just about everyone who has played Metroid has said it's far supirior game to Sunshine.

More likely to be
"this is a game where you play vo9lleyball. It looks good and there is a multiplayer 8/10"

They probly rated the physics of the jugs.

"They Bounce nice! 8/10!"

I like their news. It's precise, to the point, doesn't bog you down and there's tonnes of it!

I don't care for any of this "NOM is crap becuase they can't write good reviews" I buy NOM and ever single best selling Gmaecube mags includign G-Force, NGC, and Cube. I buy NOM becuase they have have info on both GC and GBA and none of the other GC mags do.
