Dear Future Gamer

Reading a couple of PC magazines (and naming no names) I've spotted a rather interesting coincidence. If one periodical has a 'world exclusive review', the game gets 90%+, yet only manages 60-80% the next month in the rival mag. And you'll never guess what? Exactly the opposite happens! Spooky or what?! Now if I were a cynical chappie...

I'd list Outcast and TA: Kingdoms and PC Gamer and PC Zone as the two most recent examples, but then they'd probably get all legal on me.

FG: It's funny that, isn't it, Alex? Are you suggesting that some magazines compromise their integrity for an exclusive review? Tshsh! That doesn't happen, surely? As for getting legal on you, how can they? You're only stating the facts. Rest assured that we at Future Gamer don't ever compromise our integrity for exclusives. Pints of beer? Yes. Exclusives? No.
