OMM is a close second to the greatest example of video game journalism there ever was, Amiga Power. Never before had the industry seen such ruthless, tactless critique on video games, the video game industry, and even its peers. never afraid to use the entire range of 0-100% for scoring games (as opposed to the 73% syndrome that the industry still seems to be stuck in, and maintaining journalistic integrity by refusing to review incomplete games and take bribes, Amiga Power shined above its competitors.
unfortunately like OMM it's just a memory for those who remember it, and unlike OMM many people this side of the pond never experienced it firsthand. Stuart Campbell's article archive and AP2 (sort of a post-hummus commentary of it all) serve as beacons of its greatness.
and no, i'm not an amiga fanatic, but i played one in my troubled youth.
