PlayStation World

PSW is one of many Playstation/Playstation2 magazines. With the PC it’s a different matter altogether of course as there isn’t such a thing as an ‘official’ magazine but with consoles of course the ‘official’ magazines usually rule the roost. Sony have certainly made that the case with the official Playstation and Playstation 2 magazines as they are the only ones that can provide playable demo discs with the mag. You would think that based on this the other magazines would struggle to compete but that has been proven entirely wrong by PSW magazine. For starters PSW is £3.49 instead of £4.99 and it still includes a DVD ...  Read the complete review

Thought of doing something a bit different and after reading 2 or 3 mag reviews, I though I do one on my favourite Playstation mag that I buy every month. == WHAT YOU GET == The magazine of course you get which is called PSW (Playstation World), which has the name along the top of the mag with a nice big clear image which draws your attention to it when browsing the selves in your corner shop of a character or a car from one of the main games in the mag of the mouth. There’s also sometimes a few other names and images on the front of other games that are reviewed. The Dvd Disc that’s comes with it, which can be played through your pc as ...  Read the complete review

To have a clear opinion of anything, you need to know what the alternatives are and what each of them uniquely fulfills. Official PlayStation 2 has it's place as the FHM of PS2 games magazines - unstopably popular but oh so dull. PSM2 (not mentioned yet in this section) is Dazed and Confused, totally knowing of all things that's good and cool about gaming. So what about PSW? It's the gamer's Loaded, and it's almost as bad... Don't believe this? They even gave away a free copy of Loaded with one of their issues - how's that for clear association? Clearly more interested in telling you jokes and making fun of all the geeky things ...  Read the complete review

Previously known as Playstation World, apparently Sony decided to clamp down on magazines bearing the name of their baby, so PSW it is. Sony would much rather you read the “Official UK Playstation magazine”, a title that tends to put more of a favourable spin on Sony’s console and the games available for it than the unofficial publications. In contrast to the aforementioned title, PSW offers reasonable value for money. At £3.49 a month, it undercuts its rival title by £1.50, and comes with a free cover DVD instead of the CD provided with the offical magazine. The DVD is a big attraction of the magazine, containing reviews of all the latest ...  Read the complete review

This magazine is without a doubt the best Playstation 2 magazine out right now, and at only 3.49 pounds it is a real bargain!! You are given a DVD which is far, far better than all the other ones you’re given in other mags. This one actually has past reviews and a lady speaking to you about the latest news on the PS2. There are also narrated film reviews, usually 4 each issue. This is just incredible and can’t be beaten, not in a million years. It heavily excels every other PS2 mag on the planet. Theatrical trailers are also included with those soon to be released films! Every PS2 game reviewed by PSW you can go back to on the DVD and read a short ...  Read the complete review
