Issue 90 Out Now!

Postby Dan Howdle on Fri Sep 16, 2011 11:53 am

We're really excited about the new image. What a difference refreshing the logo can make. Now when someone Tweets, "Hey, did you see that thing in 360, where that guy said the things about the things?" The instant reply won't be 'What's 360?'

360 is a number, 360 Magazine is a publication, so it's nice to finally be one. A small, but important change we feel, and in itself a pretty good explanation as to why we don't sell more. Anyways... fixed!

Well if it helps boost sales, it can only be a winner. The logo looks good but i'll wait until it comes out in the shops.

Got my iss today, the new logo is the first thing I noticed. I like it, and like you said Dan it gives the mag an identity.

All the usual forumites are there plus a couple of new names. I feel a certain forumite will have an even bigger head and ego after reading there input! :wink:

I'm glad I'm not the only that has noticed the ref's in the Fifa games They are ridiculous but strangely they have become a bit of a cult in my circle.*




that sounds like we worship them or something, but we just take the piss out of em.

Looks good, suppose it is fairly difficult to give a mag a really outstanding cover that draws a customers eye over the glut of competition. I think the staff are doing a damn fine job. Gonna have a quick read now.

Metro: Last Light looks incredibly pretty, even if the screen shots are taken from a high end PC version. I have ordered Gears 3 as well after reading the review, sounds much like it has returned to the heights reached with the first game.

I'm liking the new logo. Good move.

Looking forward to reading it over the next week.









It's sad that I still get a buzz from being quoted. Isn't it? :roll:

Nah mate, I still get a buzz too.

Also.

3 stars for 40k? Bit harsh that, but I used to be a Ultramarines fanboy. The way in which Relic has remained true to Canon is unbelievable. Totally fab game.

Anyway, is it called Xbox 360 magazine now? I'm confused.
If in doubt, put the kettle on.

Like a good fanboy/partner i liked you anyway, regardless of look, but if it helps you guys sell more, go for it.

Only problem is my local Coop doesnt sell you anymore and i now have to drive up the A50 to pick you up. dangit!

That's what a subscription department is for my good friend. Never miss an issue!

I've also been on a hiatus what with family and stuff. The last issue was the first I picked up in a year and it's a good read Op.
