Maybe, but when it comes to games, they are very fair. Btw, Carmageddon got a bad review. It if helps matters I enjoyed playing it.

No, NOM are biast towards all official stuff.

They actually gave Carmageddon a good rating!
Nintendo official mem cards for the 64 cost £15 and had 256k of mem. Some larger memory, cheaper cards were said to be worse than the official one!

The official rumblepak was given the best rating out of the lot even if others were cheaper and better in real life!

NOM have to be biast to promote Nintendo, they have the license to be official and Nintendo do not want an official mag saying bad stuff.
Unnoficial ones however can say what they want (within limits!)

Okay, I'll give you that. But that isn't enough to draw a conclusion, some magasines make LOADS of mistakes, and NOM have made one.

face the truth, no matter how loyal u are u must see they are giving biased reveiws, saying everything is great so that we buy from them. Their prices are compeditive, and therefore they should have nothing to loose from addmitting it.

I completely disagree. NOM, I feel, give extremely fair reviews and have always trusted and agreed with them. Who are they biased towards?
