GameFan Issue 04 (October 2010)

I'm not mentioning all the text boxes at an angle in this issue (it's more like 20-degrees or less). It's still very distracting, especially when they completely change the page orientation. People don't like to hold a magazine vertically because it looks like you're checking out a centerfold. It's here, too, so be aware.

Highlights From this Issue: We get a lot of great reviews, Castlevania Lord of Shadow, Dead Rising 2, Halo Reach, Mafia 2, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Ys Seven, Amnesia, Shank, Vanquish, and a little more. There's a 2-page section on comics, called Now Reading, which is what the fans wanted. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West has a huge amount of coverage, 16 pages, including the 4-page review. Another solid issue. The page layouts and colors (minus the 20-degree angled text) are very well done, especially for the reviews. Issue #5 is the last one made with a full team. The current art director left after Issue #6 so it would be interesting to see this magazine after that. Even if this site never sees them, thank you to those that donated or worked on these. dablais is a legend for the work done here. All these issues look great. 

I'm glad you like those!
