Would you say his guess is... on the ball?
The Game Boy Alfred Chicken was fun! SNES one was alright too. From what I understand, the PSX version was just the SNES game with new pre-rendered graphics, and it was slapped out as a budget title.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not on the magazine cover! You're on the DVD cover. Which is handy, because people will be like "boy, I sure feel like playing SHUT UP AND JAM GAIDEN for the twelth time" and they'll be able to find it quick and easy! I took some pics with my webcam.
And here is the mention. Uh, sorry about the rather crappy comment about the gameplay. I wanted to explain WHY it's fun, but there is only so much you can do with 50 words, so I tried to do a little THE PREMISE IS SO INCREDIBLE YOU ALMOST FORGET ABOUT THE RAD GAMEPLAY thing. Hope you liked it!

Hey guys, just thought I'd mention that the current issue of PCPowerPlay features my short Barkley mention and the game is on the coverdisk. As I mentioned, I didn't have much space to talk about it, but I may bring it up again in a future indie article that's in the works, though I really can't promise anything.
I may as well pimp my magazine while I'm here! We're very indie friendly at PCPP. I've been covering freeware games for about three years now. My section was recently expanded, so I'll be able to talk about them even more! We also have another section called Garage Games which focuses on indie games, which has been going on for longer than I've been writing for the magazine (four or so years). We also often review indie games in the same section as commercial games, as we believe they shouldn’t be treated differently, especially considering the fantastic quality of games the scene continues to pump out. Aquaria was recently reviewed (got an 8 out of 10) and I review AudioSurf next issue. The freeware FMV game, Fate by Numbers, even got a full page review! So yes, we have a love for the indie!
Finally, congratulations on all the attention you've received! You deserve it.

Unfortunately, it won't be in PCPP for a couple months. I just sent it off yesterday, and it will be in issue 150... 148 is on the shelves at the moment.
I wish it was in the next issue, then you could all see my awesome Marathon article. Oh well. Anyway, I'd be happy to send it to you, but as I said elsewhere, I only had 50 words to talk about it! You also share space with two other freeware games. Still, there is a screenshot and it will indeed be on the disk. I'll also autograph the cover for you! Woo!
Oh, and no, I TOTALLY didn't ask for their permission. I'm just that kinda guy.
