Gaming Magazines

[Agent Proto]

Do you have any subscriptions to a gaming magazine? What gaming magazines do you like? Why do you have a subscription to one? If you don't have a subscription, do/would you buy gaming magazines?

Heh, stupid questions, but serious answers. I've been a fan of gaming magazines, but I don't have subscriptions to any. :/ I tend to like reading them to find out about new games, and read the reviews for said games. I used to have a subscription to Nintendo Power, but I don't have it anymore, since it's obviously a Nintendo-biased magazine. Nothing wrong with that, of course, because it's Nintendo Power. As for the other magazines, I would buy an issue or two if the games covered inside interest me. Often times, magazines are a good source for nice pictures to use for drawing. But that's just me.

My boyfriend use to get Edge cause it was meant to help with his computer animation course. I use to get CVG all the time, but I cant seem to find it anymore, they gave good reviews. I barely get any now cause my boyfriend picks them up from work cheap when he can, or when Im on the market with my nana I will see what there is. I also sometimes get Electronic Monthly.

I used to sort of have one for PSM but then I kept forgetting to pay and so it went bye. :D I'll get around to trying to get it again, sometime in the near future, since I do like reading those magazines.

That's the only one, though.

OMG! I forgot PSM, my grandmas newsagents use to only get 1 copy in and Id snatch it up. They were great, specially when Adam Warren did their front covers, plus some of the art sent in was amazing.

I think I get Gamer's Monthly Review. Whatever you get for free when you get a GameStop card.

I get Electronic Gaming Monthly because I've found that I usually agree with thier reviews, but of course, there are always exceptions (see: Thief: Deadly Shadows). Aside from that, my dad gets Computer Gaming World and the Official Xbox Magazine. He gets CGW because he likes computer games more than console ones (can't say a blame him), and OXM because we got a free years subscription with Xbox LIVE.

PC Zone. It's friggin' hilarious for one thing, and about the best gaming platform bar none, the PC.

I no longer get any. The only one I use to get was EGM but they turned to [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. Nothing else out there is good. I prefer to get my info and stuff instantly from news websites. Magazines are always a month behind.

I don't subscribe to any. I just go to the shop each month and purchase my mag. Electronic Gaming Monthly is one kick ass magazine with some insanely funny...and not so funny reviewers.

I love it though...but FFVI not placing in the top 10 in their 200 greatest games of all time list, BLOWS!!! xD

Nope. I pick up a mag every now and then if there is something of interest to me in it, but I rarely game nowadays, so it'd be a waste of time and money to get them regularly..

Actually, suscribing to a magazine is a hell of a lot cheaper then buying one once a month or once in a while.

I used to get a lot of gaming magazines like EGM, GamePro, PSM, OPM and Game Informer but, I'm letting them all run out and just going to get Game Informer.

I need to renew my EGM subscription, as it ran out a few months ago. I used to subscribe to Nintendo Power, too, but it's always been a pretty weak magazine. EGM, though, has the best writing and commentary of the gaming magazines I've read.

When I say everynow and then, I mean like 3-4 times a year. And thats between 3 different mags. Plus I don't read reviews that often, except online. I usually will only buy a mag if it seems to have info on a game or hardware that I haven't seen elsewhere. Which, considering the internet, is rare. And most magazine articles end up online eventually, i.e. EGM and 1up.com.
