Wow, by the time you apply the average gaming review magazine curve, I'd say that 79% equates to about 90%. :D

PC Gamer has always been notorious for having one of the toughest-to-please bunch of reviewers in the biz. 79% is a great score to get from them.

TOS - WS scores 8.5 / 10

Hi guys,

we´re proud to announce that TOS- WS scored 8.5 / 10 at Deafgamers.com . This is a very special review. Special in the way that it made us think of a fact we never really realized.

I picked up the latest copy of PC Gamer today, specifically because I saw ToS in the table of contents mind you, but I picked it up, which is my point.

They give our favorite pastime 79% which is alright. Should have been 89% in my opinion, but apparently their wee reviewer can't figure out the interface. I admit it isn't intantly apparent, but certainly alot clearer than he gave it credit for (he should have visited us :)). That was his only real complaint though. Excellent review overall.

Lovsteve.
I have a question, is this the October issue of PC Gamer ?

Ah I see. Here in Germany the October one is the latest you can get. I was about to freak out when I had a look at it and couldn´t find the reviews ;).

So are the issues allways published two month in advance ;) or do subscribers get them earlier? thw two magazines from the futurnetwork I ´m subscribed too are actualy delivered a week earlier to the subscribers then they appear at the newsstands.

I bought my copies at the Borders bookstore.

Looking at the issue I just noticed that Korsun pocket was also reviewed with a 93% and Editors choice pg 106. The reviewer loved it.

On one hand I'm really happy with 79%, on the other I'm a bit sad that it is because the reviewer had so much difficulties with the interface. I'm still confident that the interface isn't that bad (nor is it excellent). I think TOS: WS suffers from its unique turn sequence and some players difficulties to get a grasp on it. Our failure was to explain it and the difference in length with the manual.

TOS - WS scores 79%
