I got the latest OXM today, for the Splinter Cell demo. Haven't played it yet because I've been reading the mag.
And I did actually have to check a few times to make sure that they'd put the right magazine in the outer wrapping.
Why?
PS2, that's why.
In the first 20 or 30 pages, they must have mentioned it about 8 times or more; I really thought that I'd bought a PS2 magazine. The only giveaway was the fact that 'PS2' was usually followed with some detrimental comment. Now I don't know about the official Nintendo mag, but you don't get this nonsense in the official PS2 mag.
Are these people just obsessed with PS2, or are they paid by MS to have a dig at PS2 at every opportunity?
You'd think, the way sales are going, that they'd spend more time talking up the Xbox and less time talking down the opposition.
Funniest thing I've read so far, though, is on the letters page. Some goofball has written in asking if he'll get another reward following the recent price cut. But that's not the funny part. The funny part is that he starts his letter, "As a proud owner of the leading console".
Heh!
As I type this, Stargate is on in the background, and Daniel Jackson has been transported to an alternate reality. Presumably, the guy who wrote this letter is also there...

Got it in one!
I found Sega GT a bit pants. Looks nice, but the handling is diabolical.
I've been reading through the latest official mag - one of the best issues so far. :-)

I got the last issue last week - it was in that too. I never mentioned it, because I thought it was a one-off. Seems not! :-)

Must do! ;-)
