SW Magazine #64 - Winners of the SW Awards to be announced shortly

January 17nd, 2013 - Issue 64 - @swm_magazine

Letter from the Editor:

Cows are hating on Devil May Cry because it used to be a PS2 series that now has it's inferior version on PS3. I thought you guys didn't even want the game.

- Willy, Sheep in Charge

System Wars Magazine is looking for System Warriors to join the fray! PM Willy105 to join, or send donuts to poor old GUFU.

HOW THE Wii U LAUNCH SAVED GAMESTOP

Who said the Wii U was a flop?

PREVIEW: DON'T STARVE

Today I burnt down the whole forestoops.

REVIEW: DAWNGUARD (SKYRIM DLC)

Being a vampire lord is not as amazing as it sounds.

REVIEW: RAGE - THE SCORCHERS

How about a cup of RAGE....DLC?

DOES POKEMON X AND Y LOOK LIKE AN N64 GAME?

Who brought back the 90's?

but the 90s games are the best games ever :P

Here are the results from the previous issue's poll. The War Z squeaked by as the dumbest of the bunch, but it looks like there were plenty of differing opinions.

So to everyone who voted (or if you didn't): Why did you pick what you picked? I'm quite curious to hear your reasonings. I personally went with the Eurogamer scandal because it served as a clear reminder that the way video gaming journalism is set up is inherently flawed. Not to say that all of it is corrupt, but the fact that there exists a clear conflict of interests between reporters and the publishers who provide them their material to critique is something that gamers should remain critical of. Any of the poll options are good candidates, though, so feel free to share your own opinions.

I'm suprised that the ARMA dev imprisonment and the death of 38 Studios weren't on the poll. They were some of the biggest fvck ups of the seventh gen. Oh and great job with this month's issue. :DTheDidact

This is actually the first time I've heard of 38 Studios being shut down. Maybe if I had played Kingdoms of Amalur, I would have considered adding something about them.

I give props to the guys who made Kingdom of Amalur for hiring the composer for the Rareware games. Wanted to get the game just to hear the music. Willy105

Good job William. Heil68

It also doesn't help that people keep bloating up pictures of a handheld game...

Just stop with this atrocity

Please... Pokemon is a SOLID Super FX game.

I'm not a 100% satisfied about my reviews as I had to write them in a hurry, so I hope you guys still like them.
