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?


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 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.

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*

Lack of improvment?

Playbooks: Improved
Graphics: Improved
Blitzing: Improved (actually possible)
Passing game: Improved
Physics: Improved

Not to mention it's more realistic in general.

What you mean one review? They compared all 3 versions, gave the editor's thoughts on which of the 3 was better and just did one giant review instead of 3 single page reviews.

Yeah, but we only got one set of scores. No where did they mention that they would have given all three the same score, we just kind of have to assume that they did.

Seeing as how the PS2 version actually has slowdown, has poorer graphics, and has longer load times, I really don't think it deserves the same score as the xbox and gcn versions.

lmao... Madden sucks? Yet it's still better than NFL 2k

As for stonecutter's comments... why don't they improve things that really matter? I mean, people already like the gameplay, so how about adding some new features? (I mean, besides a stupid idea like first person mode)

If those improvements meant so much, why didn't the game's score improve?

But whatever... No need to fight anymore, I can do like gekko used to do and hide behind the scores
