Add in Uncharted after 10, and it's accurate.

disappointing to hear about Lost in Shadow :/

Impressions and reviews have been frustratingly mixed. I think I'll have to bite the bullet and check it out. I have $20 in amazon vidya game moneys so maybe I'll put it towards that.

 

[MC Safety]

If anything its closer to Play magazine than EGM

There's something to that, as Brady, Casey, Heather, Eric, etc., all are on staff or freelance for the book.

But there's a bunch of great guys who have ties to the old Ziff/1up/EGM, too. Like the bitmob folks, Andrew Pfister, Pat Klepek, and Paul Semel.

I don't know how they could live with themselves with some of those reviews

I worked for Play Magazine, and I've happily lived with myself since birth.

But now we're getting off topic, and so.

 

[Truespeed]

EGM's strategy to stay afloat: troll for attention?

They're trying to be the EDGE of North America without the edge.

 

[jooey]

One person reviews are not EGM. I certainly won't be resubscribing.

and they certainly won't miss someone who subscribed just for one element.

 

[faridmon]

- Lost in Shadow: 5.5
- Gran Turismo 5: 6.5
- Kingdom Hearts RE:Coded: 5.0

WTF? Please, people, tell me, how reliable is this Magazine?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Not even DKCR?!

Oh you!

 

[thechristoph]

WTF? Please, people, tell me, how reliable is this Magazine?

Considering a review is an account of one person's experiences with a game and not a scientific analysis, I'd say it's as reliable as any.

 

[Y2Kev]

Pretty sure that's how it works. Good thinking.

I think it actually does.

Any discussion of the game would revolve around how unintuitive the controls are and how it's probably because they get motion sickness!

 

[enzo_gt]

Oh jeez, I don't think GranTurismoGAF will like this at all. Shots will be fired at their rating system even though they're one of the few doing rating systems right.

As for the actual scores, glad to see LBP2 got a great score.

 

[G0523]

I was LOLing at the cover. They spelled "Wii" with one i. :lol

It's VERY reliable, we all best quit gaming as we know it.

l.

Oh i know. Even the way the page lay outs are just like Play. The Fonts ect. If Play magazine fans want more they really should subscribe.

- Aliens: Colonial Marines won't be coming in 2011.

Pitchford disagrees.

 

[ArcticDonkey]

I find it a bit odd that some people are happy about the Ghost Trick review, while others are pissed about the LBP2 receiving the same score.

 

[Dr Zhivago]

- 007 Nightfire was originally supposed to be based on You Only Live Twice.

Was this from a feature, or just a random bit of trivia?

Edit: Oh I see, from the Pitchford interview.

It's true though. On one of the skyscraper levels in Nightfire, you can find a computer screen that has the Osato Chemicals logo from You Only Live Twice.

I feel like Crackdown 2 deserves a defense force.

I'm here.

Crackdown 2 was number 3 on my top 10 of 2010. Playing it alone or with another person probably would have sucked (the story and missions were all terrible), but anymore than 2 players and you have the ultimate multiplayer play ground. I had a fucking blast playing this with my friends.

 

[Jonsoncao]

After getting to A spec Lv 28 and B spec Lv 40, I think a 6.5 is what GT5 deserves(1.03), 7.5 for 1.05 though.

Pitchford disagrees.

"It looks to me like whomever made that post on NeoGAF made an interpretation that could be misleading or inaccurate."

If I was mislead, then I apologize.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Very late to this but LOL

 

[Castor Krieg]

LOL, people are arguing about GT5, and I'm way more interested in TC:Hong Kong preview. Looks like it will be one of the best representations of HK in video games to date. I demand Aaron Kwok in my radio!

 

[zoukka]

Agree on the GT5 score.
