Really is rather good. It's got loads of footage of new gams, and a groovy into sequence. But there are 3 problems...

1) Where..are...the...demos??
2) The narrator is obviously just reading from script, and has no idea about games (lame example I know, but he said N - E - S (seperate letters) instead of just NES.
3) Whats with the exploding disk??

Everything else was good however. Play it on a surround sound TV, it sounds great. Really :D

Are there any other GC magazines that have any playable or rolling demos with them?

Thanks

I have to admit that the best free dvd that comes with a games mag just has to be PSW. Its great, brilliant and very relaxing, Set it to showreel and read the mag as the dvd goes by with the previews and reviews as you read. Also it very lengthly totalling up to 2 hours at times and even indules film tailers to add to it.

Oh for gods sake.

I'm sick of these forums, and I'm not posting anymore.

LMFAO!!!

Sorry, but the amount of times I've seen people write this and not stop posting make your statement more than moderately amusing to me.

Once again...

LMFAO!!!!!!!

Sheessh.... stop arguing, will you?

Good. I was actually very impressed by the NOM DVD and magazine, and I don't mind paying an extra 35p for it either.

I agree that NES really ought to be pronounced as 3 letters (just as Nike should be pronouced as N-eye-key, and there's nothing wrong with that. It does get a little frustrating to earn that man talking with such ridiculous enthusiasm about the enormous merits of Disney Sports, though.

Just got this this morning and it's okay - I can't help feeling that this, and the whole magazine, is some kind of big GC christmas advert. Which is great, but aren't Nintendo supposed to do this and not the magazine ?

I liked the footage of Metroid, Reign Of Fire, Disney Sports, and Mario Party 4, but the rest I didn't bother with. I would've preferred more game previews, reports e.t.c like the NGC discs.

Magazine was okay as well, but I'd love to know what NOM think is the upside of losing RARE (letter page, right corner on the second half) ?

I have no idea what you're talking about - I can't find anything. But there ARE upsides to losing Rare. $250,000,000 for a useless company is one...
