Advantages: Demo CD, well-written, lots of content

Disadvantages: Only 5 or 6 playable demos each issue, slightly biased, a bit expensive

I only got a PS in June, it was a bargain as I bought it 2nd hand off a mate. Since then, I have purchased a total of 7 games, all of which are excellent and have provided me with many hours of entertainment.

I have only purchased this magazine once (August issue) and it was great. Despite the reviews being perhaps a little biased, (it IS the official mag after all!), the are on the whole well written, with lots of screenshots, and very informative about the game. There are lots of previews, the latest news, tips, letters etc. One other great feature of the mag is that every month, the reviews of all 600+ PS games ever made are summarised at the back of ther magazine, with a sentence describing it and the score tha mag gave it out of 10. This is great when you are thinking of buying a particular game as EVERY game is summarised!

But the best thing of this mag is the fact that every month there is a free demo CD, featuring the latest playable demos and videos of up and coming games. There are usually 5 or 6 playable demos, and 5 videos. That is one slight criticism, I think the CD should have less videos and more playable demos! Nevertheless, the playable demos are a great way of finding out whether or not you like a game, before you buy it.
