Ah CGW I even subscribed to that one in Europe. The german games mags sold out even way earlier than the US counterparts. I stopped reading german games magazines when they gave Ultima 8 a blatant 90% rating despite being released in an unusable state at that time. Nowadays I mostly rely on user ratings on various gaming related sites and Steam. Werner
