EGM January Issue

[trunks982]

did anyone get that january issue? not the MGS3 cover thats the holiday issue. im wondering did anyone get the issue after MGS3 cover. if u did when did u get it in the mail?

[LinkinPrime]

I got it in digital format las week. It says "Top Secrets" it shows secrets on the biggest games like Metroid Prime 2, MGS 3, Halo 2, and GTA: SA

[Dead of Knight]

Not yet.

[Rozz]

Nope

[Cracka]

i also got the digital format of it

[kraid]

I also got the digital format of it. My paper copy should come in a week or so.

[trunks982]

alright cool, thanks. is there lots of DS games reviewed?

[Jaket]

whoa... digital format? where do i get that?!

[2poor]

egm never even sent me my holiday issue :cry: even when i renewed for 2 more years... i have to wait 3-4 weeks for me to recieve my damn holiday issue.

[SadieDee]

I didn't get mine yet.

[FriskyTanuki]

I e-mailed EGM about it and they said it was returned to sender, probably because there weren't enough spaces on their online form to put my whole address. Now I have to get it changed by them, which pisses me off. So, in summary, I didn't get it.

[LinkinPrime]

alright cool, thanks. is there lots of DS games reviewed?

Yeah, all the launch games were reviewed if I remember correctly but they didnt do so good. Mario 64 was the highest and it got like 8.0 or something around there.

Is there any way i can get the digital AND print versions without having 2 subscriptions? ( I already subscribe by mail).

[supermariomelee]

Seems kinda unusual, since subscribers usually get the mag before it hits shelves and it's out today in stores.

[TXboxGuY]

did anyone get that january issue? not the MGS3 cover thats the holiday issue. im wondering did anyone get the issue after MGS3 cover. if u did when did u get it in the mail?

I know I received an issue on 11/08. I remember because that was the day that Halo 2 came out -- later at midnight and I received my XBN on the same day. Since it did NOT show up today either, I guess it's "officially" overdue. :?

Perhaps it's only the extra holiday mail/cards etc. that is slowing down the post office.

[TheRaven]

I picked up mine, in store, last week.

[chickenhawk]

I got mine yesterday.

[FriskyTanuki]

I probably won't get the Februaury issue either, so I just e-mailed them about fixing my address and threatened to not resubscibe if that can't fix this problem.

[javeryh]

I haven't received mine yet... hmmm...

[javeryh]

Typical too... the holiday issue had tons of games with great reviews and now that it's after Christmas which it really isn't but whatever we get a ton of crappy games...

[sisco1986]

I also received my Digital copy of it a while ago. I hardly read the them though, I have a back log for at least 6 months. I got my subscription from the free mag topic a few months back, since they ran out of slots for the free real subscriptions they signed me up for the digital mag via Zino.

[GreenMonkey]

Ping Pals (shame of the month) - 1.5, 0.0, 0.0


Wow. Haven't seen a score that bad from EGM since Mortal Kombat Advance...

[chubbyninja1319]

I saw this edition on the newstand at borders today. I should get it in a day or two....or three.

So, what's the digital version thing? do they email you a pdf or something? I've never heard of this.

[989boi]

I just bought a copy from FYE in the weekend. It always come with a dvd but it sucks when I can't use the dvd-rom content on the dvd because my comp doesnt have a dvd-rom.

Those are some sad scores :cry:.

[Cracka]

lmao when i looked at the digital format the other day and looked at the DS i laughed.... the scores are horrible, for the most part.

also they said the reason Ping Pals got such a low score is that its basically the same thing as picto chat and picto chat is already built in to the DS, so ping pals is really pointless.

[his_dudeness20]

I haven't gotten mine either, which is really pissing me off. I've seen it in stores too.

[WarrenGekko]

Let me know if anyone needs to see any of the review writeups. I have my Jan issue of EGM

[danny90044]

nah nothin yet

[Dead of Knight]

Still haven't gotten it, my school library did though (they get a variety of popular magazines).

[trunks982]

yea me too. still didnt get it.

[FriskyTanuki]

Ping Pals (shame of the month) - 1.5, 0.0, 0.0

Wrong, it's tied for their worst game ever with Bedrock Bowling for the Playstation. MKA did slightly better, but still sucks horribly.

[Ebraum]

Nope

[FriskyTanuki]

I got it just after I e-mailed them about the missing issue. It's still about 2 - 2.5 weeks late, and they extended my subscription to April from February.

[dago2727]

Finally got it today. Took long enough...
