PSM and Game Informer have serious issues with balancing their tone between casual writing and professional journalism, which is pretty important where credible is concerned. For example, after the big MGS4 trailer at last May's E3, PSM decided that Raiden had become so much cooler than he was during MGS2 that they should consider MGS2 Raiden and MGS4 Raiden to be entirely separate entities. They then dubbed the MGS4 version "Awesome Raiden" and referred to him as such for the rest of the issue. I can't stand that stuff.
Nintendo Power is still trying to walk the line between "cool" and "kid-friendly," and the results are embarrassing, to say the least. I only read it when they have exclusive coverage on games like Metroid Zero Mission and Portrait of Ruin.
OPM is a Ziff Davis publication, so the quality of writing is there, and the demo disc included with every issue is a big advantage. Unfortunately, while competent, the staff seems to unanimously possess a huge bias in Sony's favor. Furthermore, since I'm not going to be an early adopter of the PS3, they won't be writing about anything in my interests for roughly a year.
EGM has no demo disc, but it's got all the Ziff goodness with none of the perturbing fanboy aftertaste. And it's headed by Dan Hsu, an integrious journalist and overall rockin dude. The best choice by far.

I used to subscribe to PSM but when it became more and more apparent that they sucked Sony's ****, I stopped subscribing. I used to BUY every EGM every month(not subscribe) long time ago for like two years, during the N64/PS1 days but sometime during this gen. I lost my interest in the mag.
Though these past few years I havent gotten any magazines but when getting my mvp card thingies from Gamestop and Gamecrazy, I got a subscription for GI from GS and Nintendo Power from GC. So those are the only magazines I've been reading as of late.

Official Nintendo Mag just had a free DS case with it and it's actually very good, better than the one I paid money for from Ebay, and got accidently sent two of... >_< They have good free gifts ^_^ Not just DVDs... (who needs those when the internet has plenty of trailers!)
