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 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
 
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.
 
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.
 
[quote name='trunks982']alright cool, thanks. is there lots of DS games reviewed?[/quote]

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).

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.
 
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.

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...
 
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.
 
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.
 
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:.
 
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.

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

Quote from EGM on MK Advance: "If a circus train wreck was ever more accurately embodied in digital format, I haven't seen it...It's a steaming pile of bloody dog krap. [Mar 2002, p.146]"[/quote]

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