OK, I was able to check it out and all I can say is WOW!.

I am very pleased to say that at $2.99 this is a steal. First of all to address the ads. We see 4 ads, that average about 15 seconds in length. 3 out of the 4 I saw were game related and the 4th was for Burger King. Although the burger king add was about 10 seconds and had no speech attached. In responce to the question "why do we pay for it if it has adds?", well you yourself said its an online magazine. Find me a magazine that doesn't contain adds. How many of those do you get for free? Better still, how many of them are $2.99 For the most part its 15 seconds of your time. I don't see it as an issue or an annoyance.

Whats cool about these adds is that they are actually called "sponsors", and after the 15 second ad you can hit the square button and actually get an extended version of the ad. The MGS4 extra content was incredible. Loved the videos from the sponsors.

The information given for Socom makes me want this game in the worst way. The way they talked about the game and what they are trying to accomplish I must say that I am incredibly excited.

In case people reading this didn't know, if you buy the year subscription you get Call all Cars for free. Its a $9.99 game.

My only complaint for Qore is that it was a bit short. Only 4 games were discussed. There were lots of great videos in those 4 games though and the sponsor videos were great too. There is also a hidden game (although dumb) if you hit L2. I recommend this to everyone.
