Title: Do you still buy videogame magazines?
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on November 01, 2002, 07:12:02 AM: Since I got connected to internet, I\'ve not buy many videogame magazines. Internet offers me pictures, reviews, and info for free and daily, so I think magazines now are not worth the money. I\'ve bought some of them because the demo disks...

Post by: Cerberus on November 01, 2002, 07:16:33 AM: Same here. Since I gained access to the net, I haven\'t seen the need for games mags. To be honest, I only bought them on the rare occaision if/when they were reviewing a game I was interested. Since I connected though, I haven\'t bought one. You can get the same info now online without paying, as you get in magazines worth between £3.50 &£5.00.

Plus the net has the advantage of being considerably more up to date.

Nothing used to piss me off more than buying a mag with supposedly up to the minute news, only to find that it was immediately obsolete elsewhere.

But yeah, I stopped a while. I\'ve thought about renewing it, but it\'s just not worth it. I\'ll just go by word of mouth and see what\'s out there.

See Yuz.

Post by: Living-In-Clip on November 02, 2002, 06:47:18 PM: EGM is the only decent magazine around now\'a\'days and their quality is questionable at times.

I use to be (and still am) a fan of the now defunct Gamefan. Now that was a magazine that was hip, stylish and had enough content to back it up every month.
R.I.P

Post by: Ryu on November 02, 2002, 07:23:53 PM: The successors to Gamefan have all been great thus far. Gamer\'s Republic was a gem and now Play Magazine is awesome. I subscribe to that right now. Great layouts even though there are mistakes here and there. :)

Post by: SER on November 03, 2002, 12:20:39 AM: I used to read GameFan too, but at the 5 bucks a pop, EGM seemed to be more worth my money..

Post by: on November 03, 2002, 11:33:39 AM: I am do subscribe to magazines but not really ps2 games. I have PLAYBOY, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, and TRANSWORL SKATEBOARDING. My friend supplies me with the playboy.

BTW: I do pick up PSM magazine, just because I really like them, and the DEMO\'s are sometimes worth it. Although I do get the jampacks or whatever they are called.

Title: Do you still buy videogame magazines?
Post by: Hawke on November 08, 2002, 09:48:00 AM: Dunno, it just got me from the first I got a copy. It\'s pretty different from most gaming magazines, with a larger scope on things. They get some nice exclusive previews (ages before others, and even before any info can be found on the \'net), the reviews are well written, the articles and features are superb... and the layout is sexeh... etcetc... It\'s a much more deeper read than the shallow mainstream mags. And.. expensive, eep!
