After actually looking through the magazine, I could not find one bad review or pithy comment about senseless rules or lackluster products. I can understand being enthusiastic about games but I got the impression that the whole magazine was an advertisement for every game featured. In one article they praise some dwarven forge miniature setting pieces and claim the price is reasonable. I know quie a few gamers who think theses pieces are nice but far too expensive, especially on a typical gamers budget.
