Dear Future Gamer

I wanted to let you know that the reviews authored by James Price are a breath of fresh air. Amusing, interesting and at a complete tangent to the style of others. I can't comment on his accuracy because I don't own a PSX or games PC, but I like what I read.

On the subject of reviews, the "Re-View" section is a good idea. Shame about losing Hall of Shame, though - unoriginal but still very entertaining. Any chance of bringing it back? The Games of the Millennium feature is also excellent. Good idea not to focus on platforms and raise further "mine's better than yours" arguments.

It's a pity that you're only reviewing a few N64 games (JFG and Worms recently). Nintendo's release schedule has been quiet over the summer but there are an awful lot of games coming out and I'd love to know Future Gamer's opinion of World Driver Championship and Smash Brothers. I appreciate that space in the mag and your time are both precious resources, but we N64 owners have had so little to play this year it would be nice to celebrate a "glut" of games.

FG: James will be pleased to hear you like his reviews, and while we're here, you say you can't comment on his accuracy; well, the primary reason I ask James to do reviews is for his accuracy. His glistening prose is just a bonus - it's the scores he gives games that are most important to me, and I hope to you too. As for Hall of Shame, it was surprisingly difficult to come up with a dreadful game week after week. Yes, some games are crap, but finding games that were bad enough was very tricky. It's run its course and is unlikely to be revived.
