| Well
manicured courses, tastefully arranged trees, and diligently
cored greens enhance the game for any golfing addict. Artdink
supplies a visually supple environment in which to exercise
your virtual swing but they also enhance the game with a
new-type control scheme. Doing away with golf gaming systems
which rely on watching gauges and pressing buttons at
opportune moments, Golful gives you total control over your
swing by way of tugging and wagging the Dual Shock knobs. It's
a more intuitive feel than eyeballing a swing gauge and
pounding a button. Thanks to the pressure sensitive nature of
the PS2 controllers, exerting more force on the knob imparts
greater power to your swing onscreen. Players may choose from
eight main characters and develop attributes by going through
the 144 courses. As you hone your game, your character stats
improve which allow for better control and power.
Theoretically then, a hacker, or a poor player, may eventually
graduate from the peasant class and head towards the jacketed
pantheon of professionals. A wacky assemblage of sideline
personalities also provide commentary and input into your life
as a golfer on and off the links. In stock today at US$68.

Summary

DC
Magazine is dead. Kaput. Long live Dorimaga. Tokuma Shoten
gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago with DC Magazine Vol.
13 as the final issue. Publisher Softbank took over the reins,
renamed the magazine, and kept most of the original format
intact.
The premiere
issue takes things in stride with no major announcements or
groundbreaking ceremonies inside. We do get a recap of the
history of Beep! Magazine, Mega-Drive Magazine, Sega Saturn
Magazine, and Dreamcast Magazine, along with birth and death
dates of all respective publications. Flipping the pages
further - Shenmue 2 snares coverage, Virtua Fighter 4 looks
hot, PSO v2.0 goes live next week, and we get a gander at
Sonic Adventure 2. Continued coverage of Sakura Taisen 3 hops
over from DCM and the fan artwork submissions on Sakura seem
inspired. A quirky look at developer Hitmaker's studios
reveals messy desks, staff sleeping on the floor, and empty
vending machines. Tres chic? In addition to the new
periodical, pricing is now hiked to US$13.50 per issue due to
a change in newsprint suppliers.
