ou may be used t o reading reams of opinionated
waffle elsewhere, but here we prefer t o let the
games speak f o r themselves. Relevant scenes are
shown, wit h informative captions used t o convey the
'Feel' of the game in question. A t t he end of each
review t here are opinions highlighting any good and
bad points, prices, release dates, and ratings where
possible. Basically, there's something for everyone -
at bes t a rev iew, and at w o n t a highly detailed
preview. There's nothing clever, lust straightforward
