Official Nintendo Magazine

Always full of original content as well as game reviews. A great magazine with amusing articles.

ONM is a great magazine, with reasonable reviews and a lighthearted sense of humour. However I personally don't really trust them on first party reviews as they are official, and they sometimes overhype Nintendo products(which is probably their job). Overall I think it is a good magazine but of course it focuses on Nintendo which means you sometimes get overrated Nintendo products on it and it obviously means you won't be getting much news from the rest of the gaming world.

All the hard work of making this Mag jam packed with fun features is ultimately undone by the sickeningly generous final scores. The Mag has awarded games such as Mysims, Red Steel and My Horse and Me (!) with scores between 81% and 94% - despite these games scoring in the mid-sixties on Metacritic. By all means read this for an entertaining look at games present and future, but take the reviews and ignore them - then go and read Gamespot or Metacritic's review.

This month's issue also features a confusingly indulgent "Games we'd like to see on Wii...(but might not/probably never will)" section - complete with mocked up screens.
