    1 out of 5 stars One thing to say.   August 7, 2008
    i have one thing to say about this magazine... They gave Bullet Witch (360) a 9 out of 10. I believe that is all that needs to be said.

    This company is not dependable. I received 2 issues of my 12-month subscription, and have talked to the magazine twice and Amazon three times in the last month about a missing issue. Despite assurances to the contrary, the missing issue has never arrived and now the current issue is also missing. They don't care about the customer. I recommend you consider another magazine.

    Play magazine is great if:
    1) You have no grasp of the English language
    2) You own a next gen console that is not a Wii.
    3) You have access to Japanese imports and a console on which you can play them.

    Every issue of Play has several serious breaches of grammar and editing. While it is still understandable sometimes, it shows a lack of professional conduct. There, their, and they're are often misused, which drives me insane. Sometimes it is as serious as pages not matching up or an aritcle being cut off in the middle.
    They generally only review mostly Xbox360 games, a few PS3 games, and almost no PC or Wii games. As someone who mostly games on the PC or Wii this is a little disappointing.
    There is an entire section of ~20 pages in every issue dedicated to Japanese imports. What do I care about Japanese imports? I can't play them. Why are they in the magazine?
    Overall, I would not recommend Play magazine unless all the above conditions apply. If I owned a PS3 and a Xbox360 I would probably rate this magazine at a 3 star level, but since I don't it only gets a one-star rating.



    5 out of 5 stars Best gamer magazine out there.   May 8, 2007

    Best unbiased game magazine around. With a hint of Jap Anime, its a brilliantly vibrant magazine. Great reviews of games and previews of new games. I prefer this over EGM, PCG, all the big name magazines.

    Getting this magazine made me realize a few things.
    1) It's nice to look at... and that's about it.
    2) I wish I had my $20 back.
