is now PC LAMER.  Don't pick one up at a newsstand near you.  I never liked
this magazine, especially after the 90% Outpost rating. Give me an hour or two
and I'll give you an in depth listing of all the things that makes this
magazine total crap.

P.S. Screw the CDs.  Half of them don't work anyway.

     I don't normally follow up one of my own postings, but something I 
thought I should mention: Didn't most of the major computer game 
magazines give Outpost a really high rating?  I remember reading 
somewhere that CGW gave Outpost 5 stars!  (If I'm wrong, feel free to 
correct me.)

     If CGW /did/ give Outpost 5 stars, then it effectively gave Outpost 
a 100% rating, and this guy wants to complain about a 90% rating?

Actually, Outpost came out well before CGW started using its star
rating system.  But they ripped it in their review.  Trust me, nobody
bought the game on the strength of that particular review....  Now,
they did give a glowing *preview* of the game, with the normal
disclaimer that "this game is still under development" blah blah blah.
