Im gettin sick of magazines like gamemaster,playnation theres loads more.When they do previews they make it look better than it acctually is.For example i bought a gamemaster magazine it had loads of stuff on JBI.
I read it it said stuff like you are in total control you can attack people backstage well thats aload of cr*p because i bought JBI and all you could do is walk around backsatage.

It also said theres loads of things you can do in storymode thats wrong you can challenge or be challenged theres like two more things you can do.Its there job to try and make you buy the game but its not there job to lie about the game.

I found it interesting that as of a month or so ago many of the PS2 magazines started slating the original Playstation with 'blocky graphics' and 'old' comments.

It seems that one starts a trend and the others follow suit.

Stupid people, you buy the wrong magazines (apart from 1/2pint).

Only get magazines made by adults, for adults, that don't rely on foul language and nak'd breasticles to shift copies. OPS2 is by far the best one out there. Unbiases, to the point and exellent reviews. What's more, I truly believe they aren't "bunged" by developers unlike some other mags *cough*.

Errrr, GamesMaster were actually right on that, but THQ took all those options that they said out, for some odd reason.

I think it was so they could rush the game out.

Step 1. Don't buy GamesMaster

Step 2. Banter

I hate PlayStation 2 magazines for the sole reason that they think the opposition is total s***e. The fact that they think the PS2 has already won the next-gen console battles is naive and vain, and all they ever say about the opposition is negative. I read PSM2 and Official UK, which I find are the least biased, but still are to the extent that the PS2 is better than the rest one million-fold.
