I'd put money on the latter.

I'd put a bit on it.

The Matrix issue was ass. No Graveyard?! The FF Tactics "powergaming" and localization "features"? Oh, and the second opinion in the reviews just needs to go away as well. A good example is The Soul Caliber review. The main review is a complete pile , while the second opinion(which I happened to share) got 2 sentences. But those 2 sentences made more sense and described how I felt alot more, thus I wanted to read more. The system is flawed.

I can't see me paying for a sub to a magazine that varies in quality from month to month. Some articles I really enjoyed and I'm sure that I'll keep up with the status and progress of the magazine, but subscription material, this magazine definitely is not.

I payed my sub at the beginning mainly to support members from old GF and TNL. I'm not suprised with the quality, but I'm keeping this stuff as a personal collector's item.

Figure I should've put some down for the gamer's quarter as well.

i was never a fan of GF's covers until SPAZ took that part over.

Me too. You're a lot better than Wolfie.

Wolfie only really does good stuff when he goes all-out. When he gives anything less than 100% his art is pretty crappy. That said, nothing he's done for HCG so far has been impressive in the least. Everything looks super-rushed, but I assume that, like everyone else doing the mag, he's not geting paid. Kind of hard to give it your all for free when you've got bills to pay.

He still manages to deliver some personality and charm in his work, but the otherwise cruddy rush-job covers just makes the mag look pretty bush-league.
