VF4 kicked ass. I think it definitely deserves those reviews. I am still playing that game.

It's a good month for videogames...

But KOTOR really should have got game of the month. :)

Yeah, I agree. KOTOR was a big step for the Xbox, and I also think it should have got Game of the Month. Also, no GBA reviews?
:wtf:

I hope they review Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on the next issue.

How is VF4 Evo already a Greatest Hits title? The game has/will be released soon, and it can't already meet the requirements. Unless they are classifying it the same as VF4:unsure: But at least EGM really explained Soul Caliber II. It makes me want the game even though fighting games aren't my "area". I just want to master Link's moves and I'm happy.:)

What is VF4 evo?

Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution

It's like a new version of VF4...2-3 new characters, updated graphics, and this new 'quest' mode (which is supposedly better than Kumite mode from VF4).

Since it's not a completely new game and (IMO) doesn't justify a $50 price tag, Sega was kindly enough to set its retail price at US$20 when it's released here.

And Jonbo...Publishers can release games at any price they want. They wanted to match their VF4 'GH' price, so they did.

Re: New EGM Scores
 
I wasn't talking about the price they set. What I was talking about was how its already a greatest hit's title. If you look at the VF4 Evo review, the box of the game says greatest hits. I was just wondering why its like that. An example could be back in the '64 days, Nintendo decides to release a partial update to a game for the '64 and they decide to slap the million seller sticker on there. (even though the game is only partially different over the original). Unless EGM made a typo, or Sega figured since its almost the same game, just slap greatest hits on it and sell cheaper. (I'm not trying to diss on ANY companies, ok)

Better than Kumite? I'll have to be the judge of that

KotOR is unbelieveable, and I haven't played SC2 yet, but I really think that SC2 is probably a better game, jsut based on what I've seen of it and the history of the series.

I really don't like how egm only did one review for SC2.

It's good, but SC2 is better.

But I'll still give a chance like every year... just to re-comfirm that Madden is better, again ;)

Madden sucks. Always has, always will.

Sega's always had the much better football games. *goes to play Joe Montana '92*
