Full-page glossy RT ad in today's Autosport: opposite the contents page - I doubt that's very cheap, so it's a good sign of commitment. The slogan - "So real it hurts!" - isn't terribly imaginative, but it'll do, and frankly I'd prefer time and effort to be spent on the game than the adverts! Interestingly, no indication at all in the advert of what formats the game is available on - I suppose people just assume "PC" these days. No release date given either. Not a lot else to say, really, except: "I want this game!!" :-) -- Sceptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep insights can be winnowed from deep nonsense -- Carl Sagan The GPL Scrapyard returns (slowly): http://www.hillclimbfan.f2s.com
Cool! We haven't seen this, care to scan and email it if possible? -Ilari / Bugbear "David Buttery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I've seen mention of an X-Box release as well. Anyone from JoWood care to add details about this? Stephen

It's not the immediate inside cover (which is a borning BMW ad, I think), but the page after, left-hadn side full page opposite contents. Looks quite good. -- Sceptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep insights can be winnowed from deep nonsense -- Carl Sagan The GPL Scrapyard returns (slowly): http://www.hillclimbfan.f2s.com
