Sometimes a 7 is better than a 9.

I'm not certain... it *may* be in retail versions, too (albeit with the additional content banners on the cover).

Yeah, I'd probs rate it below the poster and DLC .

Free gift - a Currys/PC World catalogue?

Looking forward to this Resident Evil 2 issue next month. Curious to see what these 'free' gifts are - poster, coasters or a retrospective mag seem most likely based on previous issues. Optimistically hoping for a key ring or fridge magnets. A download code for the original Resident Evil 2 from the PS Store would be a pleasant curveball.

Disappointed about V-Rally 4, though that score would appear to indicate it's still worth picking up on the cheap. Which it no doubt will be extremely quickly.

V-Rally 4 was the last new title I bought. Cal recommended it if you're a fan of the series. I picked it up new for £35 on Amazon

I loved the original back in 97/98 and played it religiously before Colin McRae turned up. 2 had the greatest track editor I’ve ever used too - you could practically make a rollercoaster.

I've not tried 4 as yet, but I watched a couple of vids prior to buying and liked the look of it. As Cal said, if you're a fan of the series then there's a good chance you'll like it.

*edit * looking on the back of the box there is also a stage editor.
