No. NOM SUCKS. If you have read the entire Sonic Battle and Sonic Heroes reviews you will agree with me.

No. NOM SUCKS. If you have read the entire Sonic Battle and Sonic Heroes reviews you will agree with me. Although I love NOM, I do have to agree you about the Heroes review. They just spent the whole time harping on about how Super Mario World was better than the original Sonic games. But then again, all Nintendo magazines are biased against Sonic (in particular NGC). They seem to think that we're still living in the year 1993 or something.

I like NOM a lot, but their attitude is very annoying sometimes. SPELLING THINGS WITH CAPITAL LETTERS DOES NOT MAKE THEM TRUE. They frequently make statements like "If you haven't played more than two Zelda games, you're rubbish." And yes, their Sonic Heroes review was tragic.
I thought their Sonic Battle review was quite harsh but fair...
Their gifts are awesome! Bow-Wow has given me a lot of fun...

Hmmmm, personally I had to stop reading NOM because I thought it was awful, haven't read it in a while though... it may well have improved. NGC (in my opinion) is the best Nintendo magazine about at the moment (I actually agree with their Sonic Heroes review, plus they crack me up....) but EDGE is still a damn sight better than all of them for unbiased coverage.

EDGE is biased. Very biased. Against every game and console ever made.

My opinions...ha ha! XBox; best graphics and sound, cant stand the gamepad tho! Too big for my liking
PS2: best games range, best control system.
Gamecube: Love the tiny cds!! Its best for transporting from home to uni as its small!! And of course it has SA2 and mega collection!
Gameboy advance: graphics remind me of the megadrive! retroooo!

I've only bought a few NOM's in the past and they didn't seem to be very good, especially with the way they bash Sonic. None of them are as bad as the Official PS2 Magazine, though. For six English pounds you'll get a piece of immature trash filled with pictures of half-naked women and occasional reviews of porn. Terrible. PSM2 is still the best PS2 mag out there. I never forgave EDGE for their Halo review, and I never forgave GamesTM for their Manhunt review. Does anyone remember Arcade? That was a damn good games magazine. One of the best, as a matter of fact.

My opinions...ha ha! PS2: best games range, best control system. Well, more games, but I would disagree with it having the best... Anyone apart from me despise the PS2 pad with a firey passion? With it's poorly placed and flaccid analogue sticks and..... no? ok, just me then

For that six English pounds, however, you get a great demo disc.
Re: The Gamecube.
Many people consider the Gamecube the "choice of the hardcore". BS. "Hardcore" is a term made up by idiots to justify their ridiculous choices. Not that I dislike the Gamecube, it's host to some wonderful games, but people are now buying it because it's considered "hardcore", and finding they don't like the games. I personally adore Viewtiful Joe, Monkey Ball etc, but most gamers hate them. Fact. They prefer games such as Vice City, and good for them, that game is amazing. People should not be critiqued for the games they enjoy, only for their views on other games.

The gamecube might now have the most realistic games, but they'res plently of challenging games. I hate when people judge games by it's blood and gore. Cartoonish characters can be as or more challenging than realistic characters..
