Yeah, I've not seen many copies of the mag around. In games sections of the newsagencies I've seen recently, Gamepro seems to sell out quick.
RE: Games TM, yeah! Its pretty heavily reprinted from the UK edition. When I say "pretty heavily" I guess I mean 99%. As for the pricing of it it was $9.95 then $12.50 then $8.95 and now $7.50.
Maybe they got caught with their hands in the till and had to discount the price to cover for it? Or their sales were so dismal they had to try something a little drastic? At this rate their next issue will be $4.95!
As far as being relevant to the Australian market as far as release dates and what games they mention in terms of reviews and previews Gamepro has them beat. Still, it's a top idea to try and do an games magazine for adults. Atrociously adapted for the local market, though. Still, a worthly purchase if you don't mind that its a poor UK reprint for the most part:- good writin' is good writin'! |
