Edge sounds interesting, I heard it's useful for developers, so...

The only magazine I'm subscribed to is PC Games. Their reviews suck, though. They'll give good ratings to bad games with good graphics and pull down great games with bad graphics. There's only one case where I was thankful for that and that was SpellForce. The game was ripped to shreds in other publications but it's incredibly fun and addicting.

I mean super-mdels are pretty but what the fudge can they do other than walk, pose, get their picture taken, starve, change clothes, and repeat?!? I'll tell you NOTHING!!!!


They're good in bed.

From what I hear, that is.

Some word of advice, don't let people tell you that models (or supermodels for that matter) are good in bed, cause they aren't.  NEVER AGAIN!!

i recently saw the most blatent bias against nintendo i have ever seen. I'm at a loss for the name of the video game show that i'm thinking of, but it has the two guys named vic and tommy or something like that(the worst reviewers in the world, by the way). they did a recap of e3 that was running quite often on the space channel in Canada. Of course, the thing they were most excited about was the psp. Hey thats fine, to each their own. Then they went on to recap some of sonys ps2 games. Again, i have no problem with this. Then they moved on to the xbox, and recapped some of its games. again, great! Then the pc games came next.........and then the recap was over.

somehow these fools didnt even mention nintendo was at the show, let alone mention the ds. what a joke.

Fear not, I joke.  There are actually very few models I find attractive. . . I have very specific taste.  Though I don't like using the term taste. . . but it gets the points across.
Josie Maran is one of the most gorgeous women I've ever seen, though.

Those fools just avoided the subject.  Afraid to face facts.  Pathetic. . .

You're either thinking Electric Playground or Reviews on the Run.  Most likely the first, though.  Anyways, I've seen this show many times, and the annoying one (smaller guy) just simply hates Nintendo.  The other guy, I find, is usually more fair towards them however.  Then again, he's always the one doing the Nintendo-related interview.

At least in Britain we have some excellent unofficial nintendo magazines like NGC.

I have never really gotten into the mags, but you cant escape the bias no matter what.  we have a subscription to popular science, and they did an Xbox VS GC article once that was completely biased.  if I remember correctly they said something like

"the handle and the color of the gc makes it look like a lunch box, which is ok considering their targeted young audience."  

they seemed to seriously think that nintendo was TRYING to target kids, they pretty much said thoughout the whole article NiNtEnDo Is TeH kIdDy, XbOx RoXoRs.  fortunately they do not do video game reviews too often.
