Happy Birthday to us! :D

Can you believe it’s been 100 issues since we arrived on the shelves? We certainly can’t and we’re amazed that so many great games are still to come. Help us celebrate our 100th issue and check out some of 2012’s best games at the same time.

It’s a total win-win…

Reviews
Dragon’s Dogma, The Witcher 2, Trials Evolution, Sniper Elite V2, Kinect Star Wars, Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure, Crash Time 4: The Syndicate

Previews
Medal Of Honor: Warfighter, Spec Ops: The Line, Darksiders 2, Lost Planet 3, Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2, Halo 4, Assassin’s Creed 3, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dishonored and many more…

Features
Hot 100 There’s plenty of life in the Xbox 360 yet. To illustrate the point, we pick out a fitting one hundred experiences to look forward to on console, from Eighties and Nineties nostalgia to a digital future where every type of entertainment is available through one device. Plus, stunning games headed our way this and next year.

Spec Ops: The Line We take a closer look at this Dubai-set third-person shooter. Spoiler: it’s sandy.

Medal Of Honor: Warfighter We go behind the scenes of EA’s new shooter to see what Danger Close has learned since rebooting one of the FPSs longstanding franchises.

Club 360 This month we look at Medal Of Honor, 360’s beardiest shooter. Do you remember playing this? We’re not sure we do.

Hot Topic Xbox 720 To Be Jam Packed Full Of Win! We find out exactly with what.

Ooooooh Medal of Honour, Call of Duty and Spec Ops the Line. Be still my beating heart.

(I'm sure the mag is great but I remember looking forward to stuff. End of a generation is a very dull time.)
If in doubt, put the kettle on.

It's true, highly anticipated games are getting fewer and farther between. Right now the only one I give a toss about is XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Great issue otherwise mind.

Aye so long as you don't harp on and on about it in the mag :P

MoH:WF looks and sounds just as dull as before, so thanks for being honest about it. So the story was written by 2 Tier 1 guys? No offence, they may be good as garotting the Taliban but why give them the keys to a writing a game. What next?

"Im sorry Mr President, Bin Laden has been brought back to life by the Necrnomicon, we have to send in someone to shoot (and IMO stupidly martyr him) again."

"OK (thinks).... send in Tim Schaffer and Vince Zampirella, they should be able to tap him easily".

The modern warfare FPS bubble will burst by 2013, i bet. I love them and its boring me now.

Mag was good in general though.

I said it before and ill say it again though, if you guys are running out of games for club 360, why not alternate with a new format of 360 Guilty Pleasures. i.e. A game that was badly reviewed but people found fun. Youll get loads of comment on that...i think.

This is a good idea.

There are after all only a finite number of games which can be praised enough to get into Club360 and rather than letting the quality of titles that get there dip why not give Marbs guilty pleasures a go (you could even call it that!)?
Doesn't mean you can't have the occasional standard Club360, it'd just mean you wouldn't have to close your eyes and run your finger down a full list of X-Box/360 games each month to pick one...

Nice idea guys, but when they made a copy cat, lame reboot of MOH their 100 issue game, in the words of almighty Sciara, "hell had already come to frog town".... :-(

We could put the guilty pleasure to a vote every month from a choice of three games.
Best comment gets the lead in paragraph, so Clowntrousers, and we take it from there.
Surely Medal of Honour is scraping the barrel, and MOH2 just sounds like a rinse and repeat. Seriously, check back at the shite they were spouting about the reboot and see if it doesn't say exactly the same thing.

I thought MoH:WF sounded ok.... until I read the preview. I think I dozed off when it mentioned an on rails section on a boat... zzzzzzzzzzz.

What hasnt been done in the modern warfare game at this point? Apart from a sex scene with a wolf, nothing.... nothing at all.
