Archive: E3 2008 Previews / GamesMaster

If you’re wondering why it’s taken me till Feburary 2009 to post about previews I wrote for GamesMaster over six months ago – admittedly these previews featured in the October 2008 issue of GamesMaster – well, the answer is that I forgot to ask for a copy of the magazine for months.

Well, I have a copy now and I’ve seen my previews of Mirror’s Edge, Fable II, Left 4 Dead, Lips, Guitar Hero: World Tour and MadWorld, and they please me.

If you’ve never seen a copy of GamesMaster, it’s pretty unusual – very kid-orientated, it’s got an astonishingly crowded, text and image heavy design – sort of like Famitsu or the (now departed) EGM have been at points in their history, but far more irreverent than either have ever managed. It was my great pleasure to write for the magazine (which is itself a unique experience, fitting my text around the design…) and I look forward to the next time I do it.

I’m still disappointed you didn’t get the Mirror’s Edge joke in. It makes me chuckle every time I think of that rubbish game.

But, GamesMaster is, “you know, for kids.”

Which makes it odd that I was asked to write about the very adult-orientated MadWorld but so it goes.

You should have made the joke in the MadWorld preview then. I don’t care if there aren’t any asian girls in it.

Basically what I’m saying is that Gamesmaster magazine needs to be the scene for a 60-style freak-out.

Do any kids even remember the Gamesmaster TV show anyway?
