is the magazine really worth 25 dollars with the disks? how many demos and disks are there? are the demos even worth it, becuase i can get a yr. (12 magazines) for 10 dollars excluding the disks, is that a good deal or are the disks really worth 15 dollars? thanks.

Yeah I think so, I bought a few on their own and they seemed worth it. A few of them have exclusive gamer pics and a lot of things like that.

I subscribed for 3-4 years and I opted not to renew a few months ago. I found myself not even opening them much the last year, They get 1-2 exclusive demo's a year which if your patient anyway get on live after a few weeks and all of the news is outdated inside sinse we have places like here on Gamespot and IGN for news.

So do I recomend it? Not anymore.

I think it is worth it because last month it came with some Rock Band songs that you cant buy online and they were free. Aslo a while back it had two expansion packs for Oblivion. I find it to be worth it.

it is deffinately worth it, you always get a perk from the disks, the holiday had rockband gamer pics exclusive to the mag and jan had a few rockband songs, im sure there is crappy months but in a whole it is deffinately worth it, i live in canada so i dont get the discount of the mag inserts so i pick and choose my months from the news stand.

NOOOO...this magazine sucks hardcore...the critics who rate the games are biased, due to the fact that they will rank a game higher if that company gives them money...im not sure if anyone remembers when they gave fight night round 3 a 10 out of 10, GRAW a 9.5, and oblivion only a 9 in the same magazine....everyone complained that how the hell could FNR3 get a 10 when no other game in its history that I can remember has gotten a 10 and then to only have oblivion get a 9...The next month they changed there rating scale so that 11 was the highest ranking a game could get...also the demos are basically worthless...99 percent of the demos that come on the disk have already been on the marketplace for at least a month...when i didnt renew my subscription they were so desperate to get my money that they sent me 6 months of free magazines with final notice stickers on them to renew....also none of the articles are interesting and for the most part they run out of stuff and just write crap...DO NOT BUY

Flawless? i think not...oh and if this magazine only reviewed boxing games then yes maybe i would understand the 10/10 rating....but wait they dont...So you agree FNR3 is the best game ever made? If so then I guess this is the magazine for you....if your like the other 99.99999999 percent of the world then no this is not the magazine for you

I dont know about he quality of the magazine, but $10 for 12 issues sounds like a good deal for most any magazine to me.
