Title: Best vidya mag
Post by: strongbad on March 11, 2009, 08:50:52 AM
I was getting EGM and then it stopped so now I'm without any kind of vidya mag...
I know, I can get all the same information online for free, but I really enjoy having something arrive in my mailbox that I can spend a good hour reading over..

Also multi platform only

probably Game Informer at this point. I only get OXM now, since that's the system I buy games for.

I'm not entirely sure what multiiplatform mags still exist.

Game Informer. Before this year, I'd get it because of my Gamestop card.

Uh, I'm really not sure, most of the video game magazines that I've seen recently are just a giant collection of advertisements mixed with a bit of old gaming 'news'.

i used to have the same problem, so now what i do instead of subscribing is that I type in the addresses of several gaming websites with my eyes closed, and while still not looking at the screen i print the front pages out, stick the printed pages (WITH MY EYES CLOSED) (NO NOT WITH MY EYES) into a large envelope, seal it, and mail it to my home address. cheaper And more up to date :D

that's pretty much what they are. And they have reviews and cheats that are kind of useful.

Been subscribing to Gameinformer for like 3 years now at $15 a year and they recently have gotten pretty good with exclusive coverage, can't wait for the Bioshock 2 issue to arrive
