Another Thursday and another fat (that's fat, not phat) issue of Future Gamer comes winging its way to you. Keep all those letters coming, keep all those feature ideas coming and well, just keep communicating. We're able to react to good suggestions quickly and it's generally far easier for us to implement a change than it would be if we operated in the traditional print media, so if there's something you want to see - let us know. We can't do everything everyone wants, but we're certainly willing to listen. As to this week's fat issue, all of the usuals are here for you to peruse: Gamer Life, Feedback and the rest plus all the latest news, previews and reviews - including a no-punches-pulled review of Grand Theft Auto London on the PC. There's something for everyone so enjoy the read. Andy Smith - Editor

Preview: Speed Freaks (PlayStation) It's Mario Kart for the PlayStation. The N64's always worn the multiplayer racing crown and though it's doubtful any PS game could steal it away, Sony's machine is still crying out for its own champion. Has one finally arrived?
Review: Lode Runner (N64) Based on the classic 8bit game, this '90s re-working adds polygons to bring it into the third dimension. Question is, was the old game really that good and if it was, does this new version manage to retain the magic?
Feature: J Nash Investigates: Part 2 In the second of a two-part investigation, the inimitable J. Nash continues to investigate the differences between the popular games machines of today. And he still thinks the PC shouldn't be counted among their number. Oh Lord, help us now...
