The Zine’s, they Love Me
Apparently, having already seen my glowing review of AFK Magazine and enjoying that so much I was recently sent an e-mail by Dave Taylor from Gamerzines.com Specifically he directed me to Issue #2 of their MMOZine.
I was not informed of Issue #1, which is just as well, because I seem to like second issues much more than first.
Now, as happy as I am to randomly pimp a site here for the free post it allows me, there actually was something in the e-mail I was sent that I did want to pass along, I’ll just quote to save time.
This issue we have a free LOTRO item giveaway thanks to CodeMasters, so the item is Europe servers only. All readers need to do is request a code via the form in the magazine and we’ll send them it via email. Then they retrieve it via their COG account for use in game. The item is called the Glass of Aglaral and it restores +1 Hope for a 1 hour period on each use. Handy when you’ve been defeated.
I don’t happen to be playing LotRO, nor am I European, however, if Sitemeter is to be believed a large portion of my readership is from various places in Europe (and a shockingly large number from Brazil, but that’s another story) so I thought it was worth passing on.
As for the magazine itself? Well, I haven’t gotten very far into it but a few things I did like. First being, you download the PDF to view it. We all know how I feel about in-browser viewing of magazines I think.
Another nice thing, their reviews. I didn’t see a single number anywhere. Just a few days ago I was discussing with my brother how I would much prefer to get rid of scores given to games and just make people actually read text so they could decide whether the game was for them and not be forced to look at some arbitrary number someone set up.
All things considered I’m liking it so far and I’ll be watching it from here on out. If you are interested you can check it out here.
