Future Gamer: Issue 18 £0.00

Another terrific Future Gamer for you to peruse. All of the usuals are in here, from quality previews and reviews to the quirky, sideways look at the gaming scene that is Gamer Life.

One of the great advantages we have over other magazines is our immediacy. Take a look through our PlayStation 2 feature, coming just one week after Sony made an official announcement about their new machine. How's that for service?

We’re still open to suggestions on other topics, so keep those emails coming and don’t stop spreading the word. Enjoy the issue and we’ll be back with you next Thursday.

In this issue:
