There's a big feature on Killer 7: it sounds great (and it's on 2 discs, so none of that PN03 shortness, hopefully), but also crazy. If you didn't already know, you just press A to move your character along a set path, using the control stick to make left/right/up/down decisions every so often. You can slip into FPS mode whenever you want and start shooting people up. Different characters which you can level up (sort of) and choose between means it'll be a sort of RPG/FPS thing. Mmmm.
They analyse the Zelda trailer (like we haven't already done that), and, FFF, they think that they're exploding arrows as well (just like everyone else in the world except you).
There's a big feature on Spartan: Total Warrior, the console hack slashery game from Creative Assembly who make the excellent Total War series. Looks similar in style to Return of The King's full scale battle scenes, which is no bad thing. It looks amazing.
Scores:
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - 85
Good but not hugely different
Baiten Kaitos - 83
Good but lacking atmosphere and the immersion of a great story
Dragon Ball z Budokai 2 - 59
Ghost Recon 2 - 49
Kao the Kangaroo 2 - 59
Spongebob Squarepants Movie - 61
Winnie the Pooh - 60
There's a feature on the "forgotten ancestors" of current games (NES Wars, Konami Hyper Soccer, that sort of thing) and a Resi 4 boss guide.
One of the letters this month is from me. The last one about Metroid Prime Echoes. The actual emale was way longer but oh well.

Good bit on games that never were.
I never knew Conker was set to be a painfully-sweet'n'cheery platformer before someone - bless them - flushed it through a few sewage systems, slagged-up the wimmens.
