"I bought Cube magazine today"

And I'm already drooling over the shots of Resident Evil Zero.

Out of interest, which do you guys consider the best mag to buy? I saw three today - Cube, NGC and the official mag. I picked Cube after flicking through all three, because I preferred the layout.

GamesMaster - despite what it says - focusses more on some companies and not enough on others... while Edge is just boring.

Don't know about G-Force, but would anyone recommend picking up a copy of Edge? Or GamesMaster?

Has anyone read G-force before? and if so is it any good?

Did like NGC but know I prefer the official one, How did Cube give Starfox 94% and NGC gave them 72%, Cube gave WWE wrestlemania X8 53% and NGC gave that 70%, Weird

Things like "The Japanese have been hammering demos from Nintendo over the last few weeks", "Retailers such as Toys R Us and GAME will soon have updated demo discs" and "Demo discs? Watch this space" all hint that it's very close.

Strange ive been getting a feeling of that too, just slight things theyu put in sections makes me think they wantted it for the first issue, rool on to the day its free.

NOM - The best in my opinion. Honest reviews, and though they've changed the way the rate games, they still do it well, and I agree with them 95% of the time. It's professional, funny yet serious and they manage to pack a lot of information into those 132 pages. It's official too, so you'll get good interviews, information and release dates, plus demo discs that, fingers crossed, will be arriving shortly.

NGC - Good, but a bit cluttered in my opinion. I didn't really like the layout and thought the magazine wasn't as well written as NOM or OPSM2, their 'brothers'. Otherwise, a nicely put together magazine with free gifts that warrant a purchase every now and then.

CUBE - Easily the worst out of the three. Unprofessional and tacky, and the reviews are a nightmare to read. The information isn't too well set out, and it's in smaller quantities than the other two mags. I suppose their opinions are okay, but apart from that it's a poorly written magazine which offers little value for money.

NGC. Followed 'em for yonks. Issue 38 or something like that, with intermittent bursts missed in between.

Lost most of them

:)

Heh, why buy a magazine anyway?

Internet.. :o)

I prefer NGC, as it's comprehensive, informative and also funny; a rare - and probably hard to pull off - quality in a magazine. Cube is good, too... but NGC's my mag of choice.
