Today's #retrogaming #MagazineMonday is uhh an issue in total tatters with no cover at all. Official Xbox Magazine issue 46 September 2005 and what the cover is meant to be. But here is why it's so well worn; there's cheats for GTA San Andreas which got used so much!

Today's #retrogaming #MagazineMonday is uhh... a little worse for wear. Official Xbox Magazine issue 47 October 2005. Cover had a small tear, that grew to a larger tear, then came right off. Oops. But there's a ton of great games covered in this. Resi 5 preview on the Xbox360, as well as Prey --

Today's #retrogaming #MagazineMonday is Official PlayStation Magazine UK issue 33, june 1998. I don't care for football, but a couple of years ago this was one of the first old magazines I got. It was strange compared to what I remembered reading in the later issues. Of course it covers Three Lions.

The last week of the year always feels like limbo. The last big rest (for some) before the new year starts. Indulging in your Christmas presents, mass amounts of food, and books and films. Nothing happens then it's gone in a flash. And then it's easter somehow lol

Merry christmas everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful day and got what you wanted.
