Introduction

The third issue of Nu PlayStation magazine from November 1999.  This issue leads off with an exclusive review of Final Fantasy VIII and a bunch of other big reviews such as Tony Hawk's Skateboarding and Quake II. This is the first issue that features PlayStation 2 on it's strapline and even features an exclusive run down of PS2 games. This is the first issue that dropped the opening page editorial and it was instead moved to a small section later in the news area of the magazine.

In this issue there is a preview for Eidos and Lankhor Official F1 Racing '99 which later was renamed to F1 World Grand Prix: 1999 Season. Likewise a preview for Micro Maniacs uses the former title Micro Machines 4.
