LOAD Magazine Issue #7 is here, and we’ve got the 411 for you…

The PSP format takes PSP magazines a step further. Using purely the PSP screen size is limiting, so our new issue is the width of the screen but much taller. Simply set the jpeg viewer on your PSP to zoom mode, then flip through the pages and scroll up and down with the analog stick. LOAD has grown up. Literally!

We take a look at the PSP grey market and give you some tips and to how you can take advantage of importers. Mario Strikers on Wii is also reviewed.

We’ve reviewed the latest albums including releases from Editors, Queens of the Stone Age, The Cribs, Arctic Monkeys, Nouvelle Vague, Battles, Bonde Do Role and the latest Modular remix, nevermind live reviews of Cold War Kids and Emily Haines.

Don’t worry, films are covered too. Inside you’ll find our take on the very latest releases, including Ocean’s 13, Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End, Zodiac, Magicians, Paradise Lost, 28 Weeks Later, Black Snake Moan and Spider-Man 3.

Art your thing? We have amazing photo spreads from the hugely talented Isabella Burley, stunning artwork out of France by Françoise Nielly and a quick peek at Tatty Devine’s new collection, including their new name necklaces which you could win in our competition, found in the issue.

AcidMag Issue #2 has hit the electronic shelves and is now available for download free of charge! Issue #2 gives an inside look at how AcidMods came to be, a Starcraft 2 and WiiKey review, various pics of modded hardware, and coolest of all — Cyberpyrot’s Wii NES Light Gun.

Cyberpyrot was fed up with the Wii Mote after so many agonizing defeats playing Far Cry. Cyber told us that the Wii Mote just was not designed with FPS in mind and trying to play one you will see how frustrating it can be. His solution to this was to create a hybrid light gun using parts from a Wii Mote and an old school NES Light gun.
