official playstation magazine - official playstation magazine

Being an owner of a PSX and being someone who likes to keep up to date with the happenings in the world of consoles, i used to purchase the OPM every month. It comes packed full with reviews, previews and a wicked demo disc with the up and coming games and video footage to whet your appetite. And all this for £5 a month. Although it has to be said, it is losing it a bit now. The demo has to be the main reason for me purchasing the mag. It has demos of games in development, albeit not very many, but now has to demo old games due to the lack of new ones being released. The demo comes with ... more

This magaine is good value for money only really if you subscribe - as the magazine in the shops cost £5.99 - but it will basically cost half of this if you subscribe. The subscription is spot on - delivered straight to your door 13 times a year. The magazine in itself isn't the best value - i would prefer more pages really or extras - but overall with the magazine and the demo disk its good enough for £5.99 but even better for around half of the price if you subscribe. The reviews in the magazine are of a good quality - but i would prefer them to be slightly longer with a couple more pictures ... more

Since I got my Playstation in the Christmas of 1998, I have been buying the Official UK Playstation Magazine (OPM). I actually brought my first issue in February 1999, which was issue number 42. It came with a demo disc packed with 22 playable demos. About 12 of them were fore net yaroze, which I do not have, a clue what it is but they were still good games. Some of them were actual full games but they were like the old retro games really, however they were still fun to play. Every month after that it came with 1 or 2 net yaroze games but in the summer it stopped putting them on the demo disc ... more

The magazine I think is great.....well Im not the soul player of Playstaion 2 games yet I have a few of my own. I do realize my boyfriend does use it as a great way to find good games (obviously thats what its meant to do). If we see a game which we think its quite good my boyfriend must first walk to the magazine section check that you can actually open it up (if it has a plastic cover its then bought) then check the rating which it has given it. If its above seven then its a game well worth playing to him. Me when im feeling nice I just buy the game expect him to play it then read the ... more

I have been reading the official playstation magazine for many months now and I am really pleased with the content of the magazine!. Inside there are many different sections relating to different parts of the Playstation. There is a reviews section where they rate different games giving them a mark out of ten. There is also a section where you can write in with your views about things relating to the Playstation. Also attached to the magazine is a demo where you can play demos of games before you head out to the shops to buy the full copy, I think this is a great idea from son and they should ... more
