Next Gen
« on: December 04, 2001, 06:36:09 PM »
This is the first thread I\'ve started, and it is bad news: Next Gen magazine will publish their last issue Jan 2002.  Read for yourself:

The best mag on the planet IMO.  I loved Daily Radar and now their print cousin is finished.  

I am saddened.

Next Gen was a good magazine.

Yah, this is really sad.  Why couldn\'t it be Lamepro?  At least I respected NextGen, probably the last multi-console magazine I respected, now there\'s nothing.  EGM or Gamepro?  What\'s your poison, literally.

Never liked the mag much. It has all been downhill for game mags since the fall of the great GameFan.

Yeah, I liked GamFan too.  

And why not Gamepro?  I mean does anyone read that crap?

Correct me if I\'m wrong, but isn\'t Gamepro the #1 most read game magazine in America?  It has a few million subscribers.  Yes, it is crap.  But millions of people don\'t know that.

Yep, I bought game mags before but I think its a wast of money.  I thought after.....why should keep buying game mags when you can get gaming news faster on the net.

Yep, I think so as well.

NextGen was 2nd best though and its sad to see them go.

I really hate GamePro, also, that is pure crap.

My favorite mag of all time though was Ultra Game Players. :( . That died as well.
