Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on that site.

I can't tell EGM and Maxim apart anymore :(

There's a free 1-year sub to EGM if anyone's interested.

And CGW, if that's your thing.

Just cos they change their bias from month to month doesn't make them not biased :p.

Anyway, I thought they actually went a bit easy on nintendo in their podcasts, but their last podcast showed they had taken a step back from their original position.

Still, regardless, their reviews are still utter garbage :p.

They surely are nothing like the earlier days with Semrad and such. I'm usually done with mag in 10mins after taking it to the bathroom. Finding their quite jabs about anything remotely colorful with the touch of death to game, "kiddie" is annoying too. Seeing these guys on 1UP and where Che went its apparent were their vibe/ tastes are at.

thanks pinata for the subscription. I signed up about 6 months ago and never received a magazine, maybe I will get it this time.

Hey, my best memories of gaming is the console war between SNES and Genesis. I say bring it on!

My favourite issue of egm is the console rankings one which had the genesis beating the snes 9 to 7 :p (of course I think it flipped the following year).

Seanbaby makes me laugh, and I think it's an okay mag.

I do disagree with what they say their scores mean. If it's below a 6.5, there usually isn't anything redeeming written about the game in the review. And yet a 5 - 6.5 is considered "Fair". I just don't buy that scale according to their reviews.
