^ good question

nothing set in stone at the moment but i'd like to get it out there early april if possible.  would asking for it to be completed by next weekend (17th/18th) be a push?

if that's not enough time, just as soon as you can really

cheers.

No problem at all.

I'd love to write a review for Journey too and a 'Top 7 PSN Games' piece (or something like that). If it's not used for this issue it could possibly be used for future editions...

---

awesome buddy, go for all them.  that would be fantastic.

the aim is to have the mag released quarterly(ish) at the moment.  i can certainly use those 3 articles you do in this issue

just let me know what 7 psn games you'll be writing a bit about - just so i can sort the graphics out etc for the page.

---

The seven I would inclue in the piece would be:

(In no particlar order, apart from Journey)

Journey

Dead Nation

Flower

Joe Danger

Shatter

WipEout HD

Super Stardust HD

Would it be possible to see a the page once you've laid it so I can get an idea for a word count for each?

[mattsimmo]

^ won't have chance to look the page design until prob next week really. plus other pages i'm currently working on.

it depends how you want to do it buddy. do you want to do the 'journey' one as a main review and the other 6 as mini type of reviews (or just a brief description write up)

for the main 'journey' review, it'll be put together similar to the unit13 one in the mag already - so, approx 500 or so words is fine.

around the 150/200 mark is fine for the others - though i don't want to limit your creative juices

don't feel pressurised to write too much or too little, just what you're comfortable with.

all work will be credited to you in the mag. thanks again for your help, it's appreciated.

Can we set up a Google doc so we know who is doing what, as this can be edited and also 7 may be a little ambitious for one issue or will it be alot of pages? Presumably we would like input from many authors? Community members or is it just a select few?

Um I think I missed some posts lol. Wow the mag looks awesome! 

I would like to do PSN titles or any games. Review of games or even anything PSN. I have Plus so whatever is on there. Even demos like. The lastest is The Journey but I think someone is doing. So whatever else lol

I would offer to do FFXIII-2 review / guide as I just platinumed it but damn it would fill up the whole mag lmao

---

hmmm, how about a little piece about the platinum? as kloud mentioned, a trophy thing would be a good addition.

doesn't have to be a full trophy guide but maybe a list of the trophies and a little big about them? any hints/tipsor if you found any of them really tough to get etc.

tell if you think it's a bad idea - just trying to brainstorm at the moment really

cheers.

it's open to whoever would like to provide some imput

for the 7 psn games, i think he's doing one main review for 'journey' and then 6 mini write-ups on the others (that's how i understand it).

the mag is gonna be a quarterly thing so anything that doesn't make it in this issue can be included in the next one.

i'll try and get a google doc set-up - i'll have a good look at what's in progress at the mo and bring it all together.

EDIT - here's what we have outstanding at the moment...

^ Looking good indeed. I know I said I'd do a piece on the new KARA tech but I don't want to take anything away from others.

[mattsimmo]

^ oh my, sorry, completely forgot you'd said you'd do that KARA piece. If you're still ok to do it then go for it

will update the doc.

[NateC87]

^ Yeah it's no problem. I just don't want to be stepping on everyone's toes.

OK I had a thought lol. *bling*

I think I will do Trine 2 review and platinum guide in 1. Because apparently you don't have to finish the game to get plat lol but I have not even played it yet so it may just end up being a review. 

Also I was thinking of regular feature titles:

Top 10: Hardest trophies, female characters, easiest games etc etc. We could ask the community then quote them accordingly which would be pretty cool. 

Retro Revival (or something other): Ps1 classics, older games we wanna say about how awesome they are.

Will keep thinking...

nice one, shall stick you down for Trine 2

for reviews, that should cover it for this issue i reckon.

i'm liking that top 10 idea - getting input from the whole community would be great. 

The retro revival would be sweet also. it may have to be issue 02 for that one though as i've got loads to do already for the first edition
