You always get the mag one month ahead of the month listed. That' s how they do it along with most magazines.

offical magazines are evil. Stay away from them as you would a dump.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Namco' s MotoGP has never been as good as Xbox' s MotoGP, and I can tell that just by looking at the pictures. Because of this, people should not play and instead hate the PS2.

I' d say alot more sluggish.. Hang-On GP for the Saturn was incredibly touchy but at least it wasn' t as much of a struggle to round corners. Moto GP on the other hand -- you' re approaching a curve in the track, even while traveling at slow-medium speeds, you lean deep into the curve as much as possible and STILL the bike continues heading straight off road.

The original Hang-On and Super Hang-On were indeed some of the best racers on the planet, but Joe' s talking about the twitchy as hell Saturn update (Hang-On GP 1995) which was just frustrating as hell! GAWD I wanted to SLAP Sega for their 32-bit Hang-On and Shinobi updates as well as the miserable arcade-only Planet Harriers.

Are you talking about in Shenmue where you go into the arcade and can play hangon? Or did they actually make a hang on game?

Shenmue! I love it how Ryo spends all day every day playing nothing but Hang-On! Have you seen what happens when you beat the game?
