- A very high quality magazine
I've been reading Electronic Gaming Monthly for several years, and it is truly one of the best gaming mags out there. The writing is phenomenal; the writer's manage to put humor and detailed information into their articles.

Many other magazines have sold out in recent years, giving better reviews to game's whose publishers pay more for advertising and such, but not EGM.

If you want a high quality magazine about video gaming and all of its attachments, buy this one.

- How the mighty have fallen
Back in the late 80s/early 90s, this mag used to rock, and I would read it religiously. I kind of lost interest in it once I got internet access in the mid-90s. However, they were recently doing some sort of promotion where they would send you like 12 issues for free, so I said what the heck. Once the issues started rolling in, I quickly realized that even for the price of free, this mag is hardly worth the paper it's printed on. The issues are like 1/4 the size that they used to be back in the magazine's glory days. And with the advent of the internet, it is a wonder how printed magazines like this stay afloat. By the time a new issue is released with a big preview, most of the info has been on the web for several weeks and is already old news. Plus, there are a million different sites/podcasts where you can read reviews, plus see videos of gameplay footage - something that magazines like this just can't/won't offer. ... Read More

- Pictures are better than words
I bought the magazine and it comes in time.The problem is that it has no heart.Previews are way to long and It gets hard to read it.It has great info but its all big.The reviews are sometimes off since one person gives a C and another gives a A.I am tired and bored of there magazine and skipped to read one.Its goog info but to long.Better of looking in the Internet than getting unreadable stuff.

- Eh. I don't see why this sells so much.
I had a subscription to EGM about a year ago and cancelled it before the year was up. This magazine seems to consist of a slew of angry, frustrated middle-aged men who have become bitter about gaming in general. They constantly give low scores and answer fan-mail very satirically. What better way to get over with people than insult your very demographic? Don't get me wrong now. I have a sense of humor and find insults to geek funny when done right and in somewhat good taste. EGM writers don't care and just say whatever they want without thinking if it'll be offensive or funny.

The layout and length of the magazine is also an issue. The layout is bland with small pictures, extreme close ups with text plastered over it, and an overall boring design. The issue is over before you know it. Like most average readers, i'll only read the top stories, some features and the reviews that interest me. So ... Read More
