Rating:  - Current Codes Stay, Older Codes Go
One of my favorite past times happens to be the world of video games. Although many people find different ways to get around them with cheats, the unfortunaet part is that the cheats don't often get used. For a magazine called Tips & Tricks, their magazine constantly is coined with that phrase. Although they have a dead on sense with publishing tips and ways to help you through current games, that isn't the same with older games for the system in their codes section. The magazine constantly changes by reducing the contents of codes for certain games and older systems like the Nintendo Gamecube, the Playstation 1, and the Nintendo 64. Althoough it is good for current and upcoming systems like the Nintendo DS, and the upcoming Wii, many will just have to find other ways to get their cheats than Tips & Tricks magazine.

As a reader since '97, and a subscriber since '02, this magazine once helped me various times in my hobby of gaming. The magazine offers FAQs and a large collection of codes/cheats for most of the popular consoles and handhelds (there are usually at least three different FAQs, including PC games). The magazine also offers different departments reporting on various segments of gaming ranging from collector's type stuff to news from Japan. Each department isn't very long, maybe a couple of pages, but are a nice read to compliment the overall content of the magazine. What is questionable is the addition of a new editor and new featured articles starting in issue 143 (Jan '07) where the staff tells what they like (their opinions about gaming), and the addition of PC games to the mix of the mag. To this the magazine greatly fails. For one, the new editor must think that the readership for this mag is either very young, or that the readers do not have acccess to an Internet connection, for much of the new larger articles presented are rather filler and can be found elsewhere. Wanna know how to break into the biz? How about an interview with a "pro" gamer? (please...) Well, find out here in a FAQ mag! Remember EGM2? The magazine that turned into Expert Gamer? That then turned into GameNOW? That mag was this one's competition, sometimes offering better watkthroughs and move lists for some great games. So where is it? The marketplace just didn't need another "me too" gaming mag that covered everyting gaming ... Read More
