Help us get a review of Darwinia in your favourite games mag

Postby Tom » Fri Nov 19, 2004 12:31 am

The Introversion team is once again asking for your help. We want to make sure Darwinia has a review in as many magazines and websites as possible.

We’ve done some digging around, but we need you to help us build up a list of all your favourite games magazine, both in and especially outside of the UK. Please go to: http://www.introversion.co.uk/foreignmags/ and spend 30 seconds filling in the details about your favourite games magazines. If you can’t provide all the information, don’t worry – just give us what you know, so we can get a foothold.

The top two submitters of the highest number of legitimate magazines / websites by the 15th December, will each get a free Darwinia poster (in time for Christmas), and copy of the game when it’s released.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hmm, I'll give it a try, though I must admit I don't know any foreign magazines. Do websites count (e.g. Gamespot and the like)? Also, do you have a list of the mags you have already to avoid duplicates?

Who's gunna be first to fill in PCG (UK) do you reckon? :P

*foresees superspam of mags from someone desperate for a free game :?*

There are no local games magazines in India,

the only one is Gamer-TV or something (I never have a look at them :P)
and i think its published worldwide....
so i'm giving name of the only popular computer magazine in India.

I dont know whether it has anything to do with games.

Well, we don't really have decent Israeli magazines, as far as I know. Best thing we have is PC Plus in Hebrew, but that's not the point.
Only thing I can think of is one youth journal, which has a small computer magazine that comes with it...
I can try to give that. I can also try to give an Israeli gaming website. I think this will help more.

[EDIT]
Ok, I submitted the gaming website. As for the youth journal, I can't find their phone number / e-mail, so I'll wait until I can get it from someone who has that journal.

Yeah, don't worry about whether it's been submitted before - The more people who submitt magazines, the more chance we have of getting them all.

As for mags in the middle east / eastern Europe / Sibera - I'm going to give them all a shot!

Any mags in France, Spain, and Australiasia?

Thanks!

Tom.

I think there's PCGamer clones all over the world, if you look at the back page of PCG (where they say what's in the next issue) there's a little row of their foreign publications at the bottom, including PCJeux for France. I'll have a look later and submit a few of those - anything for a free game :P.

Managed to bag a review copy of Darwinia about a week ago for AltGaming www.altgaming.net so a review will be up on there in the not too distant future. Plus my Uplink review will be going live tonight/tomorrow evening too if you want to keep an eye out for that.

Apologies for the "site whoring", it's within the right context at least! And I must just say,what a cracking pair of games Darwinia and Uolink are!
