It's not the last issue, but I was so glad just to see an issue of Nintendo Power after 6 months that I quickly grabbed it just the same. It was the only one on the entire rack at walmart.


Ah magazines, I used to get everyone in existence for free. I feel funny even paying money for them because publishers would just give them to me. I remember when I was in that business if a magazine sold 10% of copies distributed that was good. They really only care how much they distribute, because they can charge more for advertising if they have high circulation numbers, that's where they really make their money, you're pretty much paying for the printing and shipping costs. I used to see the printing schedules for video game titles and knew what was coming before it was announced.

I remember time stalkers, was an ok game. had the evolution battle system, didnt really stick out from the pack but I played it all the way through with the main character, shame because there were many characters you could use, but only take one at a time into dungeons, then you caught monsters in the dungeons and leveled them up on the way to the top to beat the dungeons, luckily the main characters level stayed the same and carried over to the other dungeons. Each character had their own story and ending as well if I remember correctly, it wasnt bad.

I been curious about it a long time. It was one of the first DC games that showed off how amazing DC was in previews in mags. The price was finally right on these two, About 5$ each and very little risk for me. I'm not expecting a mind blowing RPG but maybe something fun.

Got it for cheap on Amazon. Had to return Absolution early so I popped this in for a quick play.

I had it, and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Playing it with the Dual Shock, I mean.
Some fantastic vistas and some cool moments.

It's not bad, I like stuff with Dragons in it. But i'm gonna try it with the sticks cause the SIXAXIS motion is way too jerky.
