Top Tricks (A whole slew of cheats for PS2, PS1, N64, GBA, GBC, and Dreamcast)
Notable Stuff:
-
Why the switch to GameNow from Expert Gamer? Hell if we know. Maybe they were intimidating the newbies.
-
SSX Tricky is the gaming equivalent of your favorite film getting re-released with a slew of new special features, making you want to re-buy it, according to the editors. Too true.
-
US gamers are all over Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (PS2), while Japanese gamers can't get enough of Devil May Cry (PS2).
-
Ico gets a grade of B (think 4/5 stars) because it's "too short and too hard to be a true classic". In this same issue, Spy Hunter is docked for being too short and having lacklustre multiplayer, and it gets an A-. Now, one of these games is considered the first modern example of a video game cracking the "art form" ceiling. The other is Spy Hunter. Easily the most derp-worthy moment in this issue.
-
GameNow attempts to rip on Limp Bizkit (misspelled as 'Limp Bizcut') by comparing them to Young MC. The difference? Thirteen years later, Limp Bizkit is still around, and Young MC still hasn't released a second album after Stone Cold Rhymin'. Fred Durst may be annoying, but Young MC he ain't.
-
For a magazine claiming to focus on just a small handful of games in its premiere editorial, that Top Tricks section sure isn't helping your case.
