Future Gamer: Issue 62 £0.00

Poor Eidos, eh? Delays and poor sales have seen the company's share price tumble as analysts predict they're going to post very disappointing turnover figures for last year. Some Ł353 million has been lost from the company's market value. Ouch! Elsewhere this week, we've got news that Perfect Dark is definitely coming to the Game Boy Color in the summer. Groovy! Another interesting story concerns the rumours surrounding Gran Turismo 2. Gamers had been concerned that the game wasn't actually complete because the figure 98.6 per cent comes up when you finish it. Sony have told us that this is merely a 'calculation problem' and that the game's all there with nowt left out.

You can read all the above and loads more news inside, plus all the latest previews, reviews, features and competitions. Yum yum!

Enjoy the magazine and see you next week.

Preview: NBA2K (Dreamcast)
Some cynics reckon American sports games never do well over here because we're not brought up on them. We say look at John Madden's, an American football game that's an all-time classic. This basketball game looks pretty neat too.
Review: ISS Pro Evolution (PlayStation)
Actua Soccer 3 is dead; long like ISS Pro Evolution! If you're looking for a game that's not only great fun but is also a fantastic simulation of the best game in the world, you only have to look here. Goodnight Irene.
