No, this isn't a thread to discuss Playboy Magazines, either. I'm basically just wondering, what magazines people at WiredGamers like. I subscribe to:
-Electronic Gaming Monthly
-GMR
-Nintendo Power
Out of the three, my current favorite is GMR. The May 2003 issue (Auto Modellista on the cover) had many reviews that I agreed on in whole. Auto Modellista, which is that new cel-shaded racer from Capcom, received a 5/10. Some people aren't thinking that the score was high enough; but, if they really sit down and play the game, it wasn't worth any more than a 5. The graphics were nice, but alot of elements of the game were just so screwy.
EGM has had a couple disappointing reviews in the past year or so; specifically Star Fox Adventures and Rayman 3. Why would Star Fox Adventures deserve a 4.5/10? The game should have at least gotten a silver award, because it really wasn't all that bad. Rayman 3, even though it was a little odd, was a pretty good game, and was worth a silver award.
Nintendo Power rates their 1st Party titles WAAAY too high sometimes. Almost all of their 1st Party GameCube titles have gotten 5 stars out of 5. It's just another way of advertising their titles, and I've been sorta disappointed with them lately.
So, what are you all reading in the gaming press?
