Ever since GameInformer published the "Sacred Cow Barbeque" article where they defamed classic games, I will have no association with them. Anybody who calls the Dreamcast a bad system is an enemy to me. :evil:

You do realize that article was satire. Right?

I honestly don't feel that Epic Mickey is looking too hot. Looks primitive, even by PS2 standards.

Still, I have to hold myself back from making a full judgment on the game. Many of the worst games I have played had the greatest graphics, and vice versa. It's just hard not to preemptively judge it based on screen-shots when that's the only thing you can judge it on thus far.

I haven't picked up a Game Informer issue in a long time. I saw the new redesigned GI and miss the retro stuff as well.

Honestly people, if you don't or can't notice the changes throughout the entire magazine than you weren't reading or looking at the magazine before this month. Everything is different. The new layout is totally different to the point it looks like a brand new magazine. I'm not a GI or GS shill but it's a magazine I read monthly and enjoy for what it is. I wish they had more focus on retro gaming but face it, it's a niche market and most people want stories on new games and not old ones.

Of course I also really like the AM radio show (KFAN) they do with Paul Charchian on Wednesday nights in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. It's a totally different side than what you see in the magazine.

I haven't heard about this, if you get an edge card you get a free subscription? Is it USA only?

Is that the Steampunk Disney game? I saw that on the PA forums a while ago. Looks cool.
