| Review: |
geese, 50 word minimum review for a magazine!!!!!!! what realy is there to say but its cool. It has good product reviews, cool and interesting articles on the sport, Professional Team updates, pictures, and you can write to them asking a question and they'll answer it. It is somewhat expensive but so are all paintball magazines. It gives good tips too. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Cool magazine, you should pick it up some time. |

| Review: |
This is a pretty good magazine. When my friend told me about it he said it was like mostly ads. When I first looked through it I was astounded on the in-depth coverage and great pictures. I was on a flight from where I live in Norfolk Virginia and I read it all the way to Los Angeles. The pics are close in field and show the true nature of paintball. The interviews and biogrphies are so in depth that it's like you actually know the person they are talking about. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great magazine I highly recommend this. |

| Review: |
This mag has some of the best pictures I have seen. Lots of good articles. This is the best magazine for tourney guys. If your a mil sim player or rec baller you may not want to spend the 7.00 bucks for the mag. I enjoy the team coverage but I hate shellin out seven bucks for the mag. If they could lower the price it would probably be my favoriate magazine. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great magazine, but the price kills it. Focus is on tournement ball which is cool because most other magazines now a day are leaning towards rec ball and mil sim so I would not recommend it for those players. |

-Some very nice high quality pictures |

|
| Review: |
This magazine combines interesting articles with very cool pictures to make an enjoyable read or look.Other than the fact each issue is like $9 this magazine has nearly no flaws.Some of the articles are interesting but many are about people or items noone really cares to read about.But despite that,they are still well written and entertaining. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want a high quality mag and dont mind the kinda steep price then pick one up.Definately a good choice for those of you who only look at and dont read magazines. |

|
| Marker Setup: |
SFL Cocker, Armageddon, Dye Titanium |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
The photos are cool, there are lots of pages it's not printed on toilet paper like APG. It's up there though. Why do all the best mags come from europe? Don't we have like millions more paintballers over here? |
|
| Weaknesses: |
There are spelling mistakes, they don't like criticising anyone's products, the 'fashion' pages really are a waste of space - I'd rather have an article on how to player more pimp pball. The world tournament thing is boring. Their writing style doesn't have the edge that PGI has, and they don't have such cool interviews. they alienate everyone apart from top tourney guys as well. and it's really expensive |
|
| Conclusion: |
Visually, it's level with PGI with cool pics and cool designs, but the rest of it is nowhere near as good. I would rate the pb mags as follows:
1. PGI - if you ain't read it, you've really missed out on the best pb mag out there by a mile
2. P8nt - They're just really cool
3. Facefull - the pics are enough to put it at number 3
4. Pb2Xtremes
5. Crossfire
6. APG - it's a pile of crap and I don't know why anyone bothers to buy it |

| Review: |
This is probably my favorite paintball mag! The articles are great- very in depth and thorough. The pics are awesome in this mag- they photographers always seem to be in the right places at the right time. My only complaint is that this is an expensive mag...around $7.00 or so at the bookstore. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great mag if you have the extra money to spend. |

| Review: |
Great magizines. You need to get them they are sweet. Doing small articles made by team captains, a thing called battle stations where pro players tell you a strategy to get you out of a simulated situation. Its just definintly worth it. Go check em out. Its worth every penny you spend. Oh and the pictures are really nice. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get them |

one of the best magazines there are for the sport. They have detailed product reviews and lots of info that is relevant to what you would want. It is written very well and the photos are good. It is expensive at $8 and i dont think any magazine is worth it but i wanted to check it out. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it. |

| Review: |
This mag is a good one but i have not gotting a subsc. for many a reason. This isnt huge but it is a little bigger in size which makes it harder to carry. The articles are informative but not entertaining. They seem to have a little more focus on the millenium than other U.S. mags. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its fine, Not bad, certainly not the best. |

| Review: |
This is the best magazine for paintball. While it lacks rec. ball, it still beats anything out there.
Strengths:
THE BEST PHOTOS: This magazine has the best pics. of any magazines. Unparalleled bunkering, behind the scenes, and just good photos period. They don't even need captions.
Tons to read: You can read this thing for hours. Its great to take to boring classes to pass the time.
Good Pro Coverage: This has great coverage of all pro events. They don't give all sorts of non-sense junk no one cares about, just the good, need to know information.
Minimal Ads: This doesn't have lots of ads, like APG, thank God.
Heavy duty: This thing is heavy duty, and pretty much indestructible.
WEAKNESSES:
Expensive: Beware! Some places will grossly overcharge you for this. If you find it cheap, buy it!
No rec. ball: Now I play both rec./woodsball and speedball, and I know it annoys some of you that they don't include it. However they are making small steps to including coverage, such as reviewing the Ariakon Overlord, and JT Tac-5.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy or subscribe to this magazine NOW. You won't be disappointed at all. |
