I have great respect for Next-Generation's editorial talents, they know what they are talking about and its always a pleasure to browse the letters section and watch the editors sarcastically shoot down claims that certain games with bold titles (game of the century etc etc)have been surpassed by another hot property. However, their almost adolescent infatuation with pretty girls, painfully apparent in their showering of coverage on Tomb Raider, is somewhat sickening. While Tomb Raider has graced far too many Next-Generation covers, a strong title such as Star Craft, still alive and well after more than 2 years in release, barely got a mention on their pages, let a lone a cover. I don't expect the treatment to improve on War Craft 3 either. Despite their claim to be hardcore, they don't give good games enough space or coverage. They may talk the talk (constantly referring to industry benchmark titles in reviews and articles) but they rarely follow through on these claims of admiration. More interestingly, flash in the pan games almost always get huge headlines and covers while on the same issue, an Alpha of a highly anticipated game is hidden away in the corner. I was just browsing through and old next generation with an alpha on Star Craft. No headlines, no covers, and lots of whining about how long it took blizzard to get their act together to finish the game. I understand that they are a magazine and can only cover what they get. Secretive companies like Nintendo make it hard for magazines to give extensive coverage simply because they don't release enough for these magazines to print. But at the same time, Matt's point is well taken. Enthusiasm shows, and perhaps the wrong editors are getting the wrong columns, but some articles do have a strong bias against Nintendo simply by not reporting on everything, or adding innuendo and commentary on a news article that should have simply be a reporting of the facts. It sits quite nicely when a playstation 2 article is beside it is all sunshine, and seems to have been quoted directly from a sony press release. so where did the inneundos go for that article?

You don't see great puzzle games on > the cover of magazines either. I find purely action games boring so what;s your point? Doesn't mean I will snubb action games because I don't like them. Your reasoning is really not very convincing. But that's not the point. If Next Generation gives Interstate 76 a cover story, plus cover because it looks to be a promising title to them, then they should give titles on other genres the same treatment which they don't. They like to splash Tomb Raider again and again on their covers despite the fact that the series has declined considerably and there's absolutely no point to keep giving that franchise more attention. There is no point to flash yet another Resident Evil on the cover when there is a more deserving title to be featured. In fact I have one correction to make. The Star Craft alpha is full of praise. So why didn't it get a cover story or even a mention on the cover? The issue of cover stories goes far beyond Nintendo. Next Generation has a very weird way of deciding their cover stories. Often times, they may choose to lavish a game with covers when the real meat of their coverage inside is no longer than the rest of the features. But then again, the original point was about bias and I believe I've sufficiently discussed my point already. > > > Stryder > > [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] > [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] - -- Dexter S.
