A lot of the reviewers here have mentioned problems with one cover story. Don't let that put you off this mag. It and its sister mag MAKE are great.

I'm glad I checked this mag out at the bookstore before coughing up the dough for a subscription. I looked at the "Play!" themed issue.

It's a fine memory chip. Not once has it exploded, covered me with acid or radioactive goo, or allowed creepy ghostlike overlays of ancient tragedy onto pictures of my new house. Go wild, get one.
