Nice, but... those quotes in the articles felt so... out of place. Shouldn't you quote some sort of deep lines instead of a line explaining a certain game mechanic? I mean... it just feels wrong. I thought quotes in magazines like that was for memorable lines in the articles. Great work, still!

Too bad I wasn't able to (or perhaps was just too lazy to) contribute with an article. I'll do my best to write something for the next issue.

Well most magazines use it to quote important parts of the review - they don't have to be memorable . It's not always easy finding lines to quote, either so I had to make do with what we had.

True. Guess we'll have to spend a little more time discussing which lines to pick in the next issue, eh?

EDIT: I'd say the info about a game's release date should go somewhere close to the title (perhaps around the top margin of the page?), it feels a little misplaced at the end.
