What the f*** are you sniffing? :PQuote:

The most critical magazine in the UK is Edge - I'd love to see their score for it :devil: Having said that, this and a 96% from PCG UK must mean something - Either they're both full of HL2 fanboys :rolleyes:, Valve paid both of them off :shifty: or HL2 really is something after all :O
Sorry, but edge is pants. Pants, pants, pants.Quote:

It just makes sense for them to hype a game for months (or even years) as it sells magazines. How many "Exclusive screenshots/previews/reviews/demos of Game X" covers have you seen?
Well that's my experience of them anyhow. The media lies, you're better off getting your game reviews from me. Mind, I hate all games....
Too unfun to keep your attention? :PQuote:

Personally, I just wish I coud get the hardware whats required for new games,
no point playing Doom3 or HL2 on TI4200/128mbRam screencard.
:cool2:
He made a valid point, yes, but im not shure what the end of that statement was about. :huh: Btw, that last post was not meant to be taken so seriously.Quote:

Seems a bit more serious and professional than other mags.
I had as dream about this game last night. I can't wait for the game to come out.:)
kewl
Yes Edge is a great magazine...the best multi-platform magazine...We finally got a Australian edition of it last month...and the november issue is out next week...And from what i saw of the first Australian issue (which is pretty much the same as the UK version...just like the OAXM (Australian) is just like the OXM (UK) version)...it looks like a great mag...Quote:

Not even Vice City, considered one of the greatest games to date, got a Ten (I think it got a nine if I remember correctly). Out of ten years, 140+ issues and countless reviews, only four have ever got ten out of ten - Mario 64, Gran Turismo, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Halo.
Can't wait to see the HL2 review in it - Despite my cynicism to go "OMFG it's gonna be great" before playing it, I am hoping the 10/10 club gets its fifth entry :)
