Gorgeous cover.

Now, I'm going t whine: Why does every game company that does a game which includes something roughly anolagous to Vikings have to put horns on their helmets? They.did.not.wear.them.

OK. I"m done now.

how true

Cool cover, not as good as the Game Informer one but still it's a good cover and hopefully there is new info in the Mag

Fantasy + Vikings = Horned Helmets.

Well, to be fair they aren't technically Vikings. Although regardless of that, I still stay putting handlebars on your helmet to make it easier for your opponent to grab you is kind of silly.

That's exactly like the picture on yesterday's UNLIMITED POWER magazine. Looks nice!

This is true, but that's the reason for RPG games. So you could pretend to live the fantasy. And I prefer the axe-wielding, horn wearing vikings of lore to the borderline gay-sailor archetype now recently being uncovered in history.

I want a hi-res pic of the image of that cover to use as my wallpaper

Vikings never really did have horned helmets

And it's fantasy. A lot of tes armors aren't that practical.

This was posted yesterday.

Awesome, I'll keep an eye out for this.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 6:49 pm

Game Reactor is free also, so yeah I'm probably gonna grab one from the local game store.

YEah,! finally can a norwegian dude like myself go and get the magazine!! sweet!

Only one problem...

Where's the BEARD ?

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:15 pm

Where's the BEARD ?

Maybe he's an imperial nord-wannabe, trying to look badass in nordic armor

Where's the BEARD ?

Maybe he is still a teenager

So are all the overseas publications going to have the same cover? This is exactly the same as the PU cover posted yesterday.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:20 am

Old as the pharaoh himself...this is was posted yesterday. Same cover as power unlimited.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:16 am

Why no beard?

Because they are not vikings and they are not nords as we think of them in htis world. It's a fictional world and not this world. There are no orcs nor argoneons either. Totally fictional places, people, races and stories.

I can't see this. Has it been taken down?

I suppose you're right. With luck we'll be spared Xena style armor.

HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME.

I swear, if that's an in game screen shot... Let's just say I have an extra pair of pants ready just in case it is.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:14 am

That looks sick.

And your mag is free? That's not fair :/

@Yargum That's definitely not a in-game shot.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:01 am

The foreground is clearly some sort of artwork/ photo composite, but the background onto which it is overlain (rather crisply, I might add) looks awfully like all the other LOD screenshots we've seen.

Well... I certainly hope so, at least.
