The Dreamcast's launch date has slipped into October and Sony could well be selling the PSX2 (as we're calling it this week) exclusively through their own stores in Japan. Interplay insist Star Trek: New Worlds is going to make its November release date despite the developers Binary Asylum going to the wall. All these news stories and more can be found inside this week's issue. Alongside our main feature, which we're sure is going to provoke a strong reaction, we've got a couple of other treats for you this week including the chance to win one of 10 copies of Force 21 on the PC. Future Gamer's offices were struck by a powercut just as we finishing off the magazine last week and consequently we had to send the issue incomplete. Thankfully we've been on full power all week so everything's here and in order. Hurrah! Until next week. Enjoy Andy Smith - Editor

In this issue:
Preview: Vampire (PC) Role playing games enter the realm of the undead in Activision's translation of the White Wolf table-top role playing system. We've taken a look at the game that passes mirrors without creating a reflection and you can read what we thought here.
Review: Tiberian Sun (PC) We know it's going to sell by the bucket-load because we've been waiting years for it, but what exactly can you expect to be different in this follow up to Command and Conquer? All the dirt's been dished right here, right now.
Feature: This is your wakeup call Now we all like playing games and think in the main that they're great, but not everyone does. Simon Kirrane's an angry man and tells us exactly why games are not only crap but says we're all thick and stupid for playing them.
