Why is Magatama reviewed?Someone is publishing it in US?

 

[nitewulf]

wait wait, sudeki got a 6, megatama got a 4 (it sucked from all accounts) and ggx2 got a 9 and GOTM? an Xbox magazine that can actually be trusted?? what is going on!

It is part of their import reviews section, so probably not

I stil say XBN is one of the best mags out there, and this is coming from someone who doesn't own a Xbox!

Why was Puyo Pop Fever reviewed? Sega made it GameCube exclusive in North America.

Guilty Gear X2 Reload - 9 (GOTM)

Damn straight! ^_^

My guess is that it's one of the import games reviewed similar to Megatama

 

[Uncle Dukey]

That is correct.

There was supposed to be a feature on the game from Wideload in this issue. Will it be in next issue?

Wideload's feature didn't happen because their game wasn't ready. In fact, showing it off now only hurts their public image, I think. Better they wait.

I agree with all the scores in this month's XBN.

Wario64 is right. Magatama was reviewed as an import.

I had the dubious honor of reviewing it. Hopefully the 4/10 score will help silence those who bitch about Microsoft not releasing it overseas. Trust me, you don't want this game.

Yeah, in November I think. We're doing more import reviews now, so we're playing a little bit of catch up.

Import reviews don't have to be timely. That said, I think readers will look forward to Ryan Payton's exclusive (sort-of) review for Phantom Dust in next month's Xbox Nation.

Does that mean its good?

Yes. We only review good games. Please disregard that whole Catwoman thing.

I get XBN for free, and it's pure shit. Doesn't cover enough games, not enough info per magazine. Bullshit reviews. I give my copies away as soon as I read them.

Yep. If only XBN had the demo disc, I'd never have to bother with that "official" magazine ever again. Blech.
