What kind of "best magazine" can give Sims 2 a better score than Doom 3 ?

Gamerankings.com seems to agree with them.

Someone pick up the new NOM or Cube or NGC! I'm skint!

 

[megateto]

You really don't want to know about Spanish magazines...

What kind of "best magazine" can give Sims 2 a better score than Doom 3 ?

Sims: Best selling franchise ever
Doom 3: World of over promise and under-delivery

That would be my guess...

 

[HooDoo]

Sims 2 was an example, I was just saying that 'best' magazine has really odd scores. Apparantly Ghost Recon on Ngage is more enjoyable than Doom 3.

I guess we could find the same kind of magazine here in France but I wouldnt call it the best around.

What kind of "best magazine" can give Animal Crossing 5/5?

IAWTP.

That game was made for 5 year olds.

 

[Gazunta]

Is Riot still running Pelaaja?

I never got my copy

AC is one of the best games ever, I feel sorry for the people who can't see its brilliance.

It's not like there are that many magazines to choose from in Finland. Pelaaja and Pelitt, right?

 

[Project Midway]

Is Thomas Puha working on Pelaaja? He is such a sony-fanboy. He will deny it, of course. =)

Yeah, and Tilt I guess (I only read the first issue, wasn't too impressed) and some smaller ones. Pelit is not as good as it used to be, as a PC mag it's still ok.

 

[DrM]

Let's check gamerankings.com again...

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm - NGE Avg Ratio: 91%
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages4/919267.asp

Doom 3 - PC - Avg Ratio: 89%
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/469881.asp?q=doom 3

Of course they are not comparing N-Gage games to PC games, but to other N-Gage games. Ghost Recon seems to be one of the rare good ones.

Its sad that you even needed to explain that. The N-Gage hate is still so strong....

Yeah, he's the editor-in-chief.

Regarding the Finnish mags, there's three big ones; Pelit, Pelaaja and Tilt (Tilt has improved since the first issues, although I guess I'm a bit biased). I'd say Pelit has the best PC journos, otherwise they're all as good. None is superb, and I find myself constantly disagreeing with each (reviews/facts, etc - there were a lot of pro-PS2 & anti-Xbox sentiments/knowledge in Pelaaja in its early issues but it's not that bad anymore, and all of the mags make mistakes every now and then). But that's how it goes - a perfect mag is quite impossible to make. There are some other Finnish mags too but they suck (like Pelimestari).

I never got my copy

He gave me mine, the one with Transformers on the cover. I think I lost it somewhere along the lines, tho...

I didn't get any money for it, but for some reason I find it immensely entertaining that I've been published in Finnish.

DFS.

 

[Gazunta]

Yeah, me too. And hey not getting paid by Fin who says upfront you're doing it for free is way, way better than writing for a US mag who says they will pay you and never do...cough. Oh yeah, I really miss freelance. HA!

The thought of my writing appearing in another language just gives me the giggles

Riot, if you're out there, I'm bored as hell and want to get back into the games writing thing. God help me.

 

[bunkum]

Come on chaps you can do better than this

 

[RiotPelaaja]
