Introduction

This is the 108th and final issue of Official UK PlayStation Magazine. Having lasted for an additional three years after it's succesor's (Playstation 2 Official Magazine-UK) launch issue. Despite being so much later than the launch of the PlayStation 2, this issue still manages to find two final PSone games to review along with a range of PS2 reviews and other features. Bizarrely the demo disc opts not for a 'best of' compilation and instead has a mix of popular rhythm games through the years (Vib Ribbon, PaRappa, Bust a Groove), some puzzle games (Pipe Mania 3D, Ms Pac-Man Maze Madness and Bomberman World), a bit of tennis with Smash Court Tennis and then also Archer Macleans 3D Pool. Strange choices.
