One of my favorite things from old games media is a hyped game that would get both a cover story and a terrible review in the *same* issue

It’ll never work

I love old game gossip columns that weren’t just wrong but literally the opposite of correct

Another reminder that Silent Hill 2 came out in 2001 and didn’t get any of the fucking respect it deserved

I feel like @johntv has been 23 for 20 years

This is an April issue of EGM which would include April Fools jokes in the form of outright lies. Sonic wasn’t available in Smash until Brawl six years later. You’d spend weeks killing yourself trying to achieve this wondering what went wrong.
