Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain review(s)

Hello Mitaphane. I'm sorry to bother you, but noticed from the reference library that you have review material on Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Dec. 1996 and Dec. 1997 of Next Generation Magazine). There's not too much online reception for this game, and I'm going to be overhauling its article as soon as I can, so I would hugely appreciate any scans you could pass on from either of these features, if you have the time and means... Thank you very much in advance. --LoK Wiki (talk) 17:59, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry this is late; I forgot that you would reply on this page. Thanks so much for the scans, and doubly so for being so prompt! They're exactly what I needed and I'll be sure to make good use of them. Highly appreciated! --LoK Wiki (talk) 18:26, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

EGM 161

When you have a chance, can you please scan the review and any other details on Deathrow from EGM 161 (Dec. 2002) p. 250? If you know of any coverage in the surrounding issues, we're scrounging for anything we can find. czar · · 07:05, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Here's the review. There might be other coverage about in adjacent issues but I'm not sure where; I was never a regular reader of it. I acquired the large backlog of issues through a friend. --—Mitaphane _{Contribs | Talk} 19:45, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Really appreciated. (My old EGMs were tossed years ago—bad decision.) Thank you. Do you have any idea who "David H" (the reviewer) is? Perhaps listed in the masthead or staff section? czar · · 23:25, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

David Hodgson of Prima Games. I guess they must of had him on as a correspondent for walkthrough, hints, etc. --—Mitaphane _{Contribs | Talk} 23:45, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Excellent. Thanks, again. czar · · 01:37, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Creatures in Next Generation Magazine

Hi Mitaphane! It's come to my attention that there are many articles about early entries in the Creatures series in Next Generation Magazine (spanning May 1997 to May 1998), and that you have access to quite a few of them. Could you please, when you have a chance, see if you could scan any of the following? I've tried to look up the Creatures full review on the Wayback Archive, but sadly it was not preserved.

• There is a preview for Creatures in the May 1997 issue of Next Generation Magazine
• a comparison piece with Tamagotchi in the October 1997 issue ("Finding companionship in a digital age"(From the Tamagotchi to Norns the latest in hip pets))
• a fuller review of Creatures in the November 1997 issue
• an interview with Steve Grand ("The game industry's Dr. Frankenstein"(Steve Grand, Cyberlife)) in the November 1997 issue
• and a preview for Creatures 2 in the May 1998 issue

Thank you very much for any help on this matter. --58.107.231.222 (talk) 01:12, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

I won't be able to for a couple of months but once I have access to the library I will make the scans then. Check this space back again in October. --—Mitaphane _{Contribs | Talk} 22:54, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the scans! I've updated the further reading section here in preparation for adding these sources - are the citations all correct? --58.107.231.222 (talk) 06:35, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, they are. --—Mitaphane _{Contribs | Talk} 18:00, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Ghost in the Shell (video game) in Electronic Gaming Monthly

Hi i was wondering if you could help me on Ghost in the Shell playstation article. I saw in reference library you have access to the review through EGM issue 103, February 1998. It would be great if you should pass along the information. As you can see it is currently in GAR.Lucia Black (talk) 02:04, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Here it is. --—Mitaphane _{Contribs | Talk} 21:15, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
