- A once a month treat
Having been a gamer for many, many, years, I can say that Game Informer is the best magazine out there now, and probably the most comprehensive and well made gamer mag ever.

Simply put, this magazine does a lot of things well...

1) The reviews are honest and thorough. I would say that I agree with them about 90% of the time. Many games will have two reviews so you can get different opinion.
2) Great layout. There are reviews, previews, editorials, reader letters, game news, event coverage, etc.. Overall, there is a lot in every issue.
3) Good construction. Nice size and great color on the pages. I remember old school GamePro where it was like a cheap comic. This is not the case.

- Great Mag
Really great magazine that covers gaming on all of the systems that are out right now. They usually have previews and sneak peaks into games way before I've heard anything about them in any other source.

- A good gaming magazine, but it would be the best if weren't so biased...
Let me start by saying that Game Informer is a good magazine. It offers reliable, up to date, and helpful information on all the latest & upcoming video games.
However, Game Informer is far from being perfect...
A perfect gaming magazine would offer helpful unbiased information on games of all consoles, developers, and platforms. Game Informer does offer unbiased information, on anything that isn't made by Nintendo, that is...
I own all of the current gaming consoles. Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP. And I like them all! Xbox 360 is my favorite, Wii comes 2nd, and PS3 comes 3rd, but that's my own personal opinion. My problem with game informer is that they don't look at the systems the way I do, as seperate systems, with different strengths and weaknesses, but still equally fun.
I don't know what it is, but they hardly ever have a nice thing to say about Nintendo when mentioned alongside ... Read More

- Waste of Paper
This magazine is what people like to call garbage.

As we all know, Game Informer is owned by Game Stop- which in turn only drives the people who make the magazine to reach and maintain a corporate agenda. The reviews, as terrible and short as they are, are incredibly biased, and the magazine basically gives off the feeling of a giant advertisement.

The reviewers are also, among other things, incredibly hypocritical- for example, they recently gave the Wii game No More Heroes a low 6, largely because they felt the violence in the game was meant to "shock" and "offend". How strange, then, that the same magazine names Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a game littered with more bloodshed, gore, sex, and drugs than No More Heroes, one of the best games of all time?

The magazine is a puzzling mess of hypocrisy and incompetence. The writers and editors seem only to cater to what the corporate ... Read More
