For all you lucky Americans out there, free EGM subscription

<< < (2/4) > >>

shardian:
I got it when I was a kid, back when they did plenty of arcade coverage in the MK/SF era. They were THE magazine to go to for news/rumors/unveilings/cheats/codes for arcade goodness...oh and those console things too. ;D

dstone:
Yeah, I got the free subscription last year... called up and canceled it after about 6 months.  :dunno

FrizzleFried:
EGM blows...but for free,  who can complain?

CGM is now Games for Windows Magazine and sucks even more than it did when it was CGM.  Now they even include a 8-10 page suckfest "advertorial" about how wonderful Vista is, etc...from Microsoft.

That said,  my PCGAMER magazine,  a staple of my life...has become pretty craptastic as of late as well.  Now they keep shoving a mini-CELLPHONE magazine inside of the real magazine called "CELL PLAY".  I don't give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- about cell phones...why are you wasting magazine space for that crap?  Oh...is it because they couldn't sell enough advertising to warrant even a 50 page magazine?   What happened to the good ole' days of 100 pages an issue?

I've been thinking the same thing.  I've read PC Gamer for 10-15 years and the past few have been crap.  I still have over a year left on my subscription, so maybe they'll turn the magazine around before it runs out, but I'll probably just let it expire.  And those ad sections you mention (which I hate) are not in every magazine, just in every 3rd or 4th one, not that it makes it any better.

ChadTower:

The innernets happened to magazines.  Why pay for a 100 page magazine when you can get all the same info for free without the restrictions of print material?
