| 278554 | 2004-10-06 00:00:00 | Just flicking through the latest mag and to my surprise the game reviews have been replaced by PRE-Views,Making the entire section reduntant,A preview serves the purpose of enticing the reader to buy while offering absolutly no critic of the product. In a nutshell its nothing more that an advert dressed up like an article. Which is a shame,The game section as at one point was very good,Not afraid to call a spade a spade and you knew after reading it that you were armed with crediable info. Now its not even worth reading. |

| 278555 | 2004-10-06 00:23:00 | Do you mean in the latest PC world mag? havent managed to get one of these for ages. not that im a game freak, but change is not always good, or bad, just not what one would expect i guess. just in time you may get use to it. did you read it to find this out? or skip it? beetle |

| 278556 | 2004-10-06 00:47:00 | Not a great fan of pre's myself but I dont think they had the released copy to review... Rome Total War - {snip}... "Rome Total war should be available later this month" Zoo Tycoon - {snip}... "Zoo Tycoon is due for release in November" Codename Panzers - {snip}.... "In late September Codename Panzers should be on the shelves" That said, I agree that unless they intend to do an actual review later then previews are rather pointless. |
