I picked up the first issue today, it’s a new ‘intellectual’ video games magazine along the lines of Edge.

Now, I would recommend it to anybody on these forums, because it is exactly the kind of mag which would go with the forums - lots of humour, a laid-back attitude yet lots of clever and imaginative stuff. The reviews take Edge’s policy of 5/10 being average, not 7, except the magazine style isn’t as strict and inhumane as Edge. Best of all though, it’s well written, funny, reasonably priced and long - this first issue is nigh on 200 pages long.

I really hope this magazine doesn’t flop, and I know if you buy it you’ll like it, and find it better than anything else you read. Except perhaps Edge.

So go on - treat yourself - it’s multiformat, it’s detailed, and it’s intelligent. What more could you want?

Do you win all the prizes in this mag?
I'm gonna tell the folk at PSM2 that you read other mags...

Might have a look, how much was it?

where from?
I'm interested.

I bought it for £4 in Game. Although I'm sure normal newsagents like WHSmith will have it too.

a bit expaensive for a first issue.. I knoe EDGE retails ar £4 but they have a reputation.... Gamer(tm) (or whatever) don;t.... who publishes it?

Not too expensive, most mags are around that mark, and the magazine is a lot bigger in terms of no. of pages than other magazines. It's worth it. Just buy it and see if you like it, I know you will :).
