Wow, what a line up. Red Faction 2 and Burnout 2 are two games I'm very interested in at the minute, especially after seein the cool lookin vids of them on PSW. Playable demos of them will be ace, I just hope its out in the next couple of days.
"Today, we at OPS2 are sorry. We're more penitent even than a former prime minister famous for espousing family values who's been caught doing rudies with a female MP. Yes, due to circumstances beyond our control, Issue 27 of Official PlayStation 2 Magazine will not hit the shops today as advertised. We hope to have the magazine in shops in most parts of the country by the middle of next week at the latest."
Grovelling little insects - just give us the mag and all them tasty demo's !
I might just go and pick this mag up just for the playable demo's, don't usually read any of the mags but this one sounds pretty tasty :-)
The ones I look forward to trying are the seminal Micro Machines, Burnout 2, Tekken 4, Ratchet and Clank, Hitman 2 and Red Faction 2.
I probably wont be going for RF2 cos of Time Splitters 2 - but the demo may prove me wrong (though i doubt it !), Ratchet and Clank looks good and I want a decent platformer to fill in the void left by Jak and Daxter.
I never got Burnout but Burnout 2 is looking good and Iv'e been thinking of claiming it. If I can try the demo tomorrow I'd still have time to claim for del at the weekend.
Tekken 4 I dont think I will get whatever - though I do want to try it out - I am waiting for Soul Calibur 2 to fulfill my pugilistic fantasies.
And then Micro Machines - what a game that shuld be if it lives up to the last incarnation ( Not the daft Micro Maniacs !) A brilliant game in single player and sublime in multi player - All I will need is to find some mates to play against.
