I admit I like OPS2M more for the articles than the reviews. Getting some developer background info is kind of interesting. For a nerd like me ;-). PSM2 is the mag for reviews. They tell it like it is, and very rarely get it wrong. I didn't NGC too much. It was a bit like one of the second rate PS2 mags that clog up the shelves. Too many pics, and not much info really.
There's too much text and it's not that interesting to read.
NOM's still 'easy to read' though they've updated their image a bit, which is good, so I will read it.
NGC however is still the best magazine for the GameCube I've read so far. It's full of humour, as well as good old serious news, and is a pleasure to read.
The OPS2M had irritble font ize and style, and makes it incredibly unattractive and boring to read. Whereas NGC looks great and is INTERESTING to read.
I also think that OPS2M's style of writing is too complex in the way they are too precise and use words that I may not understand. NGC, however, only rarely use a word that I haven' encountered, and they keep things flowing and keep you interested in the game at hand.
But that's just my opinion.
