I was pretty shocked when I opened the pack to discover the brand new look. When they say it is the biggest magazine, they are right. It is big. Not just because it has more pages (hint hint)
The new look is pretty fresh. They have finally got away from the old font set that has been their trademark since issue 1.
And no more worldy bloke. He seems to have been replaced by a rather kinkey manga style girl, reminiscent of jo-dark.
Its got loads of reviews this issue, and overall is prety helpful.
THe free gift is pretty good, was what I had guessed it would be. Its a shame it didnt include more on smash bros, or pikmin tho.
One thing I would like to see is a return of the directory, so you can see at a glance what games are worth getting, and which are a pile of dung.
But what's most impressive is the magazine itself! The pages, for starters, are a fair bit bigger, in greater number, AND loads more info has been crammed onto each and every one of 'em!
My only criticisms, at the moment are the lack of the 'making of' feature (at the back, normally) and putting the Resi Evil review at the front. Still, the mag oozes with effort and quality, and has ensured I'll be getting every issue!!

The mag is pretty hefty already, and that Shigsy doll at the back was so damn funny!
Doesn't anyone else prefer good old Worldy Bloke to some manga porn!?
