I believe they reviewed Zelda last issue.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Unfortunately not (That was Official Nintendo Magazine)... I guess we'll hafta wait 'til next month. *shakes fist*

@OP

I think Rayman is going to be the hidden gem this holiday season. I mean... everything I've seen for it looks incredible, and yet I haven't seen too many people truly excited for the game. Here's the positives from the review:

+Beautiful art
+Inspired soundtrack that amplifies the manic atmosphere
+Nothing plain or boring
+Extremely fluid
+Some of the “tightest” level design in the reviewers’ 26 year experience with platformers
+Great at creating sense of momentum
+Perfect difficult
+Great multiplayer
+Always introducing new concepts

And as great as the art style is (and it is great), the bolded is what makes me even more excited for the game. I'm so happy to see Michael Ancel deliver the goods. Another great 2D platformer... one of the reasons why this generation has been so awesome. ^_^
