Pros- Wide print - Great magazine design - Well written and researched - Game reviewsCons - None The magazine offers great game reviews, supported with great game art. Game Informer hands down is the best magazine for gamers out there. The magazine keeps gamers updated about released games, and those in development.
More about the Mag - there is user feedback (always some good tips), previews (tons of ink on these screen shots) and reviews (well written and concise in their feedback). I just wish that I worked for them reviewing games. These started coming sooner than I had anticipated. If you need a one stop shop (without a bunch of ads or one off articles) for all your game research needs (PC, 360, PS2) then this is the best choice. They do tend to pick the ones that I find most interesting to review. So, don't let the 'could take 6 months to deliver' disclaimers deter you from buying through Amazon. you can't beat the price and Game Informer seems to be on top of the issue.
Now the last two issues in which they changed the whole style of their magazine have been total crud. They got rid of their retro game reviews and trivia in the back.
The Good, the bad, and the ugly section isn't good anymore. Someone really messed up when redesigning this magazine.
This magazine used to be the best gaming magazine in my opinion until they totally redid their whole magazine. The feature story takes up 25% of the issue too.
I would not recommend this mag to anyone. It used be fun, funny, and exciting.
The reviews are two paragraphs long and have half as many pages as before they changed the style of their mag.
You get the current issue on the spot and a full year subscription at a fraction of this price. It covers PC games and all of the gaming systems with reviews and things to look forward to in the future. One month into the wait, my boyfriend (who could wait no longer). I do NOT recommend subscribing through Amazon.com.
5 stars for the magazine. His have already started coming (2 issues. went to a GameStop store and signed up there. I love it.
It's been 3+ months now and still no magazine. and he signed up well after I did on Amazon.com.)., while I feel like I was ripped off. The pics, articles, etc.everything about it makes you want to read it multiple times. 0 stars for this method of subscribing.
just make sure you hate gamestop in the back of your mind.decent. yeah, we all hate gamestop. but fair is fair, and this magazine is usually pretty good.
