D+PAD
Game Issue 9 – November 2008

Things have changed around here.

D+PAD’s hiatus is over. The expansion is complete. We’re back. And hopefully you’ll agree; we’re better than ever. Gone is the grey void that we used to call our home on the web: in its place a multi-faceted concoction of news, reviews, videos and features. An easily-navigable hub that retains the simplicity that we’ve always stood by, but with content to encourage you back on a daily basis.

We’re not looking to impede on those plentiful other gaming sites either; we know that you’ve all got your favourite news outlet. Instead of simply regurgitating articles from other sites ‘just because’, we’ll only post news that we’re the 1rst to report, or that we think is that damn important that you simply need to know about. So whenever you see a news article posted on www.dpadmagazine.com, you should probably check it out.

But enough of the website and onto the magazine. It’s been a funny few weeks in the world of D+PAD. Cli Bleszinski kicked it all o by expressing his disgust for the PS3 controller. Then Treyarch took us aback by a) developing something good, and b) developing something good based on a movie license. The biggest surprise though came from Dead Space, which, despite my initial scepticism, actually turned out to be rather astounding. As a side note, I very nearly upped its score to top marks just before clicking the publish button. It’s that good – believe. But this month it’s all about LittleBigPlanet.

Take it away Sackboy.
