I have to say I have bought an issue every once in awhile the thing that I like the most is that they cover some retro games each issue and or give classic hints/strategies
though I personally am not big on them having the console and PC games together.
After GameFan/Gamego was no more and I need my magazine gaming fix I'd rank these in this order:
EGM
Game Informer
Play
Korian
Ever since the death of Gamefan, nothing has really been "readable" for me, only flippable.
Personally, if Game Informer hadn't put in the retro gaming section in the back of the mag, I wouldn't even peruse it in the bookstore. I don't enjoy it in the least. Its a vehicle for Gamestop and Funcoland. Not exactly what I would call a "quality read".
PS: Just my opinion, if you dig it cool.
I like it. I think it could be better but it's as good as the rest of the mags out there. That might be due to the sad state of gaming mags. So take it as you will. I love the retro section, it's the only part of ANY mag I can remember giving props to Gunpei Yokoi.
Its an Okay magazine, I got it with my Gamestop card, so I can't complain. The PC stuff is real tacked on if you ask me, they should just drop it. Also their "comedy" is really poor. But again the Retro stuff is cool, and I have noticed that they tend to have previews for some games that other mags don't have till later.
no...i just got a sub so my friend doesnt get fired this week. my sub let his reach his "quota"
No, I find the material vile and the writing repulsive. Actually, I detest any gaming magazine that takes photos of their staff and add in speech bubbles saying nonsense like "I are the 1337 d00d!"
I agree, but as long as GameStop carries PC titles, the PC stuff shall remain.Quote:

And yeah, I enjoy the mag.
:mad:
I HATE THAT magazine
it's WORSE then gamepro imho
those biased crap ass bastards!
the only thing good about that piece of shit mag is the retro section
I enjoy Game Informer, and I think the magazine has come along way, since Gamestop took over Funcoland. It's only $10 for a subscription, and comes free with my frequent buyer card. Much better magazine than Lamepro, but it does have it's overly childish moments. I miss Gamefan, Gamers Republic and what hope Gamego had to offer.
Do I like Game Informer magazine?
I'll put it this way, THIS is where I keep my issues of GF

The retro section is nice, but then again I have these boards and a vast collection of old (and better) game magazines to touch on yesteryear. I remember when they looked back at Virtual Boy and proclaimed it a piece of crap that deserves to rust in closets everywhere.
Game Informer, for the most part seems incredibly stupid to me. I swear if I were to think about a fraction of the half-assed crap I read in GI, I'd burst a blood vessel in my brain. They also ran a bit on the "ten worst DC games you can buy, no matter how cheap" and listed EGG. Haven't read the magazine since then.
My kingdom for a magazine with good import coverage. *-neo
No. Alot.
I got a few freedies awhile back, nothing too special to talk about I guess and the only saving grace had to do with the quality of the screenshots. I just know they're not going to stay with me forever (they sour with age) so I'm likely to just stick with my old GF/GR/GG collection... "grins"
