Magazines

[R3DPhoenix]

What gaming magazines do you guys all get?

I get Official Nintendo Magazine, which is the British equivalent of Nintendo Power. It's uber-cool. They have a free gift every month (this month it was a Wii sweatband - I wear my poison mushroom one though. It has been posters and stuff in the past), their reviews are trustworthy and they're not biased at all. The previews are in-depth and they'll tell you every drop of detail they know, unless they've signed a document forcing them to keep it secret. Lot's of competitions as well, game guides, and heaps of information top off a brilliant magazine which is well worth the four quid, which I think is about 5 or 6 dollars.

I used to get Nintendo Power. One could argue that their reviews are slightly biased, but In my opinion that's hardly true if at all.

I will admit though, EGM (Electric Gaming Monthly) usually has a thicker magazine and a bit more of information on some things.

You can call me a gamin' magazine guy but too bad I'm out of it since all of my 4 subscpritions have ended last month. They were Nintendo Power, GameInfomer, GamePro, and EGM (Electonic Gaming Monthly). I may resign up to all four of them in July since it's better that way than buying them off the newstands. You save a lot of money! $$$

I used to get Nintendo Power also but I never renewed the subscription.

I get 5 subscriptions. All of them are videogames, except for one. I get Nintendo Power, Game Pro, EGM, Official Xbox magazine, and Mad magazine. My dad got Mad as a kid(I have ones from the 60's) and I love them now!

oh c'mon,nintendo power is one of the most biased reviewers out there,but thats to be suspected when their reviewing their own games.for instance,the np awards gave elite beat agents the award for ds game of the year instead of new super mario brothers.

But i dont read np for the reviews,i read it for all the info on everything nintendo.Thats why i dont suscribe to egm,it always talks about 360 games,and i only have a wii

Although I don't want to, I'm going to have to agree with you on that one. If you compare scores that they give to games to other magazine scores, you can see the trend. However, Like you also said, that's to be expected.

I used to get nintendo official magazine NOM, i got that for ages. But then I stopped then it changed to ONM and I got one issue of that, and that was the nintendo wii special.
Without NOM i wouldnt have known about twilight princess all the way back in 2004.

Though i did see the space trailor back in 2000 but didnt really take it in.
