Hey digit,
Though the content in the magazine is a piece to read but where are my game reviews. I was thinking that you would be giving more than two game reviews but there is not even one.

I think due to letters by our parents Digit has stopped giving game reviews.

yeah even i noted that digit has stopped game reviews. they gave faulty DVDs. They have spoiled their entire reputation as a good magazine.
BTW shouldnt these articles be posted in feedback

yeah i think they have saved 2 or 3 pages and they give their ads instead so they get lot of money

2 or 3 pages of ads??? Ther are Almost 10 Pages of ads and that Too Continously.......IMHO they shud be Perforated at the edges so that they can be torn off....A la those Tips N Tricks pages that Digit used to Give Looong Ago........

What's the problem with the reviews in SKOAR maganzine? Maybe you're talking about the super edited version of their reviews that appear in Digit.

hey guz...wake up whaddaya think...is digit some kind of money losing institution....put some logic guyz...digit gives u a pretty thick(compared to magazines like living digital n all) magazine with a cd,,,,and a DVD...and now a days they hv also added an extra booklet...now to provide such gud services they do need capital so i dun think we shud mind lil more adds...i m totally comfy widda amount of ad in digit but now it seems to appear that digit is losing on quality...i no longer like the paper quality....n the cd quality is also degradin( they gt more scratched n perish easily)....and ya u ppl r totally right on game reviews....i dun understand whats da problem with digit...why it writes those stupid articles on things like linux when there is alrdy a magazine(linux for you) for linux users....i think it makes no sense...n instead of filling da pages on screenshots plz increase the write up.....i hated da review of hl2 n doom 3......plz digit all of us dont have a kings ransom n cant afford to buy mags like skoar every month...plz increase reviews on games

why it writes those stupid articles on things like linux when there is alrdy a magazine(linux for you) for linux users
The same arguement goes for gaming reviews too...it has got SKOAR! Like you can't afford to buy SKOAR! I can't afford to buy Linux related magizines, so I prefer Digit carrying them. Simple.

It is true that the game reviews (or whatever they call it) on Digit must be improved.

What is that Ad Supposed to mean???

Also I kinda feel Gawky abt the Bearded Guy being back......
That 5 stages of Enlightenment ad.....
Ain't it too old? Digit Guys shud innovate and publish new ads pertaining to
their subscriptions offer.....
Earleir we had the "Unbeleivable" or Sumthing like da Amrutanjan Ad....
Then came the Bearded man with his enlightenment.....
then came Mamoo ads.......
Now why the Bearded man again???

Also the Chinese Philosophy of "Bhej Tu Chek" is Really Baad.......
