great stuff!!

though i would liek to see scans for the entire review  :D

I don't wanna read it,,,is there spoilers in there?

This game will F***KIN rock

Well the first line reads "Does he die? Our strict no spoilers plicy means we won't reveal Snake's fate here - but, having completed this epic finale to the Metal Gear sega, we can promise the resolution is worth the wait"
 
I'll try and get more images in, though this dam thing doesn't always want to work.

I have no doubt that MGS4 will be awesome, but when I hear "EXCLUSIVE REVIEW" I feel that the people that wrote the story game us some integrity for it...cough every IGN review.

Thanks for the scans, It will eliminate the 3 steps of the highly anticipated game reviews, it goes through “Rumor MGS4 gets a 10 from a PS magazine” then “Confirmed MGS4 gets it’s 1st ten” then “Scans of the 1st MGS4 review”, one thread is enough.

Sweet.
I knew it would be epic.
 
BTW Can't wait for the 7.5 from gamespot on July 1st. lol

thanks a lot man!!last thing how much does it cost and is it available now?

Okay, this probably not the best place but you seem to have the magazine! Rumour was that there were 2 new Playstation 3 games being announced - What are they?
Also, is there a HAZE review in the magazine as I'm interested in picking this up.
On topic: This game is look MORE awesome every second!

hopefully this is a look into whats to come for all the other reviews for this game im glad it got a 10 it deserves it

1st, thanks for the scans and info.
 
2nd, as Fusilero said, is there any word of the 2 unannounced PS3 games?
 
3rd, MGS4 is COMING and it's gonna crush the fanboys!

Rest in peace Heath Ledger: 1979-2008

Promising indeed, hopefully it will be as good as they say

I Don't remember anything about that, they preview Resisdent Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, Wipeout HD, Shaun White's Snowboarding, Saints Row 2, Little Big Planet, Wheelman, Motorstorm 2 & Red Faction: Guerrilla.

They suggest a roumors that:
 
 Uncharted 2 will be set in the Jungles & temples in India
 Capcom is working on a game called Spyborgs
 There will be an Assassin's Creed movie
 A Cloverfield game
 A Darkness sequel
 
Other reviews are:
MLB 08 The show - 9
Echochrome - 8
Race Driver GRID - 9
Iron Man - 4
Call of Duty map pack - 8
Crisis Core FF VII - 8
American Idol Encore - 6
Singstar Summer Party - 7
Brooktown High - 6
Reel Fishing - 2
King of Clubs - 3
Silent Hill Origins - 6
Fading Shadows - 4

I think it is another UK mag, PSM3 which has that info ... They said that in their next issue "the Big Daddy of secret AAA shooters revealed", plus they will also have a HAZE review.

Anyway, thanks again for all the info and help

nice man, since you say it's spoiler free, i'll have to read it then, or not.

Breakfast kicks ass!!!! (thanks)

I find it funny that kotaku are using these scans!
 
@ kicker34

 There are a couple of small screens of the Snowbording game, but the main one is concept art. Biggst selling point is liikly to be its hugh scale. Developed by Ubisoft & ETA 'winter'

You should be proud! Did they credit N4G?

Edit: Just so you know a Swedish site linked to this thread. Again, good job.

It was OPM australia that was supposed to have the 2 exclusives...I suppose Paul_war could always post a scan of the contents page just to be sure.

YES!!!!! *Screams and runs around nonstop*

Cant wait to kick Ocelots Booty


31 DAYS COUNTING DOWN

Drake = PS3's Brad Pitt :p I love him :p

Silent Hill getting a 6?

I call BS.

Quote from DrPirate: I like to spite Wooly, his beliefs, and all that he stands for.

weird why there is no HAZE review?

 And Liquid yet again so two in one.

Solidus Snake: Jack, it's not power I want. What I want to take back from the Patriots are things like... freedom, civil rights, opportunities. The founding principles of this country. Everything that's about to be wiped out by their digital censorship.

Wow what a freaking let down. From all the hype this game has I thought it was an easy 12/10. Turns out this game is nothing special at all? Wow..just wow.

They actually said, and I quote
 
"Hazed & Confused
 
We were all primed to play Free Radical's apparently-finished super shooter this month, so why ubi hasn't ponied up a review copy is a mystery...and a bit of a worry"
 
That's true, it's never a good sign when review copies are sent out not in time for a games launch, still have faith in Free Radical though.
 
There are no super game anouncements, next month the big advertised feature is on the next Bond game, "Find out why Bond is finally back in business"
 
Yep, Silent Hill Origins (PS2) got a 6, "But it's a short adventure with a handful of locations and enemies, making it feel more of a snack than a satisfying meal" to quote the last sentence.

No, expect a 9.5 for 5 hours and then it magically disappears for a while, followed by a 10 and "I don't know what you're talking about" response.

Hooray. No one really doubted the review was a 10 and i knew kojima was going to be going for gold on this one. I am really interested to see what the usual haters will be giving this title. Gamespot my eyes are on you

My guess is that gamespot will give it an 8 or a 9. Maybe something in the middle.  Or which if they do this it will be funny and not even release one
