My copy arrived on Monday! :heh: It was the first one of my two year subscription though so I won't be expecting it to arrive early every month!

[Kurtle Squad]

Gun 62?!?! Other reviewers have been happier with it.

[Stocka]

Grandma from Outset Island
BABE?!?!?!!!!!!!!!?!!?!?!???!!?!?!

EUGH?! WTF!
NGC have lost it

[ThePigMarcher]

Leave Grandma alone :wink: .

I hope they have included Nina amongst the Harvest Moon lovelies , loads of ancient loveliness. Ahem.

Anyway back to topic , Gun only 62 , looks like another game I was looking forward to has hit the crapper.

Dissapointing GUN score, had hoped for a lot better.

[Locky]

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

[mike-zim]

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

Damn thats hot.

[Ashley]

I hear the ending is reeeealy shit.

And that peach pic...um. Odd.

[Josh64]

Good drawing although I can't see how anyone can find a cartoon pic "hot" I know u were oj but the japanese annoy me when they have all cartoon porn...Whats the point in that! and does it have any details on VJ double trouble? I know you havent listed it but is there like a tiny, tiny article in the news about it? and when does it come out?

[Ysm]

I know why I never bought NGC now, their reviews are terrible. I've been playing GUN almost nonstop since I got it on Wednesday and I'd say its one of the best GC games thats been released. 62 for it? They must have been smoking some whacky baccy to get that score.

Fucking muppets. I've played both of Call of Duty and Shadow and both games are better than their previous franchise outings.

I'm gonna miss Cube.

[Locky]

Scan it for us? :D

Here you go, here are a couple of pics for you:

Daisy from D-Wing (http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/6334/daisy8vw.jpg)

Din from Holodrum (http://img448.imageshack.us/img448/4935/din9qb.jpg)

Sorry, can't see any mention of VJ. Haven't read it in detail yet though. I've got someone picking me up a copy from the US soon. :D

It's due out the 3rd February 2006 in the UK. You can preorder it from Simply Games for £19.98 (http://www.simplygames.com/product.asp?id=5546).

i have my copy of NGC (i've been a long time reader) but i've scanned through the magazine.... looks like the worst issue in a long time. I'm dissapointed with their news section, i thought there would be a full connection guide. I know quite a lot people have found the connection to NWC easy, but people have had problems, wouldn't have harmed them including a section of where to find information from a PC just in case. and the suppliments they've given this issue leave a bad taste in the mouth....

[gaggle64]

Please keep in mind that when they wrote the mag, Nintendos Wi-fi service hadn't even started yet. The writers at NGC have this funny thing about only writing articles on things they actually know about. And the spoof Xmas TV listings and annual smutty-stories are hilarious. I agree the supplements aren't the best, but I thought it was a pretty good issue, with some tasty reviews. What's not to like?

[Din]

It's a good issue although the free gift is pretty crap and pointless. I really love the time warp feature.

I thought it was a pretty good issue too - I enjoyed all the reviews in the handheld section.

To add to what gaggle64 said, in the Mario Kart review, NGC point out "Because the public servers weren't 'live' when we wrote this review, we can't tell you just how busy it might be or whether there will be any problems with lag. We'll bring you a full report soon, and publish our own friends codes so you can thrash us senseless."

[AshMat]

Likin the drawing of peach ;) jk, got anymore? jk ;)

Looks really pointless, i almost bought it then decided not to, NOM have always given me answers and their reviews i have always agreed with, i stick to NOM
