The question "what does the magazine offer that the website doesn't?" is starting to ring truer with each passing month. The balance is all wrong IMO. It boils down to: are the 3 features worth £6? These last few months though, even they've appeared on the website. By the time this issue appears on the high-street (Tuesday), the whole Vita reviews section of this magazine will be available to read for nothing.

That level of insight you might expect isn't here. Take the Vita coverage - it's nowhere near as in-depth, or offers any particular level of insight, you can't find online. Because of page constraints, there's actually less. Which when transferred to the website, comes off second best to coverage provided by the likes of TechRadar & Eurogamer. It's like the mag is in a state of flux, unable to provide the 'big event' coverage you want for a new console launch.

The Top 10 comes across like unnecessary filler this month.

No MP mode for Uncharted? I thought it would have been a must for replay value.

Might pick this up for the Vita coverage.

Read the Blazblue review. They were complaining about how the analogue sticks weren't particularly suited for the game.

You'd think they would, y'know, try the D-pad?

At least it's confirmation that there's little-or-no difference between the Vita and home console versions. Loading times in Extend Vita is comparable to an installed CS 360, which is good, and it looks awesome in motion.

Only 7/10 for Everybody's Golf! They can strawberry float right off if they think i'll ever spend cash on their shitey magazine ever again.

Not once have Sony and Clap Handz ever released an Everybody's Golf title that didn't merit at least a 9.

Its streets ahead of Tiger Woods.
