May we forget.

Based. God why can't gaming journalism go back to being like this?

I also want to post this gem from their News section. The "Nintendo is doomed" meme is real.

Man, games journalists are the gift that keep on giving.

FYI, the lowest rated review for this issue was From Software's King's Field.

>>379157675
Yup, pleb taste at its finest.

>>379156170
Did Tom East ever end becoming a registered sex offender? Definitely looks the part.

>>379156208
never played blinx. What was the "twist" of the xbox's hdd it used?

>>379156640
Because DMC2 is survival horror

>>379157220
To be honest, Wii and DS single handedly saved Nintendo from that destiny.

But those games were made by Capcom

>>379155967
There was a survival horror genre back then. Now we get shitty horror hide and seek games...

Here's an ad for a collaboration Sony had with McDonalds at the time. Buying the "Playstation Meal" got you a free demo disc.

Now that's a name I've not heard in a very long time.

It is burger. Don't you see the cheese?

No idea what the HDD thing is referring to (maybe it saved things in real-time for rewinding to work?), but Blinx was pretty dope

I miss these times.

>>379157220

whaaaat?

It pretty much is Resident Evil with swords and ninpo.

>people bitched about cel shading

To this day I still don't get it. When I first saw Wind Waker, I thought it looked pretty good, but for some reason having a non-realist artstyle made autists shit their pants around the turn of the century.

Wind Waker now looks better than Twilight Princess because of that artstyle.

Forgot about this gem.

All of the times were dark. Fuck, even the first issue of Game Pro was just one big advert for Sonic the Hedgehog. We actually have it far better with the websites nowadays.

>>379156518
>All that blatantly bullshit info on Golden Sun TLA
All of their preview information for these E3 games is complete and utter bullshit.

>>379165458
Yeah, there was a sims MMO for quite some time. Eventually kicked the bucket but a revival mod came along recently. The beta for said mod immediately crashed due to BR's trying to log on

>>379156889
>JoJo's Bizarre Adventure being shown at E3 despite it never having an English release in mind given Prince's lawyers
Did this fucking magazine even go to E3 or did they just lie to sell copies?
