I remember when Game Informer was like 70 pages long and roughly a third of it was just ads

I liked Game Informer but fell off after a few years because I really was only a Nintendo guy. I liked Nintendo Power for years but then I found their review of Riviera: The Promised Land to be terrible because I loved it and they didn't. I remember it ending with "...but Final Fantasy this is not." it's one of the more unique jrpgs out there it's specifically trying to NOT be final fantasy!!

augh i need to cool down

Nintendo Power had the best presentation of the lot, but I liked EGM cuz of their demo disc compilations.

Nintendo Power's the only one I really followed (and, for a short while, subscribed to), so I voted for it by default.

I haven't read any, but my dad would always be reading Playboy magazines when I was little (I assume it's a game magazine).

Nintendo Power was awesome. I still have all my old copies from about 1999 to 2008.

It went very downhill around 2006.

Game Players . It was the shit for a couple years. Chris Slate, Bill Donohue, Mike Salmon, Jeff "Lucky" Lundrigan...fuckin' ace.

Back in the 8-bit/16-bit days: EGM and Gamepro (honorable mention to NP, it only focused on one System)

Afterwards: OPM (again the same as NP, but there were really only two main disc based systems, plus you got a Free Disc full of Demos before the Streaming/DL era)

Overall I think I liked EGM, esp because of their pretty much honest Reviewers

Nintendo Power was the big one for me. I also subscribed to PC Accelerator in my teens. Imagine if Maxim and PC Gamer had a baby, that would be PC Accelerator. I liked it because while PC Gamer would come with one game demo on the disk, PC Accelerator usually came with about a dozen. And also the magazine was full of swimsuit models...

Used to be Gamesmaster but they are not around anymore I believe. It's been a long time since I've looked at game magazines.

Lot of those magazines are now gone. I think Game Informer is hanging on but barely. As a kid, I always looked forward to getting GamePro or EGM from money I made cutting grass etc and I'd sit in my bedroom window seat and read those mags from cover to cover and I loved GamePro's game guide section.

I had one subscription to NP during the N64 days! Great magazine but I always liked the magazines that covered all the consoles because I had Sega and Nintendo back in the day.

To me the best time of gaming was the 8 and 16-bit era when gaming was simple and the game you bought was it and there were no add-ons etc and to me that was the best time of gaming. I rarely play games now because it just all seems to be a money grab and games seem unfinished and then they bombard us with add-ons.

Eh. It started going downhill when they got rid of the RPG section.

I used to subscribe to Gameinformer, I stopped liking their stuff because as with most Journalists they're reviews got to be extremely milquetoast, AAA titles tended to get better scores more consistently even in the face of controversy or public opinion being polar opposite. The scoring system was nonsensical imo, like using decimals in the total score when you have a range of 1-10 is just downright annoying, what seperates an 8.0 game from an 8.25?
