Gamers' Republic Issue 03 (August 1998)

Everything is running in fine form this early in the magazine.

Highlight From this Issue: We got a special report on the Dreamcast with 7 pages. And it E3 1998, so the editors chime in on their thoughts and we get 20 pages of coverage from the major publishers. Reviews for Elemental Gearbolt, FFVII (pc), Mission Impossible (n64), Jersey Devil, Unreal, Vigilante 8, then some smaller releases, like Tomba and Road Rash 3. Interviews with president of Treasure, then actor James Woods. The Anime section has 5 pages. There are a few PC reviews, and Music and Movie reviews. It's a solid mag, 116-pages. The page layouts are nice and readable. The only thing I don't like is that nearly all titles use lower-case text, so for reviews they display the games like jersey devil, mission: impossible -- instead of capitalizing each word. I find it off-putting but that is how they display the name of the magazine as well, "gamers republic" instead of Gamers' Republic. A fine issue tho.
