Well I subscribe to two magazines right now and I have my gripes about both. Nintendo Power is the first one and I'm starting to not like it anymore because they keep forgetting to send me issues and the writers are just plain boring IMO. Back when they weren't owned by Future US, I never had these problems.
The other magazine I subscribe to is Gamepro. Gamepro is ok, but they make a lot of errors about games coming to platforms.
PLAY! I am a loyal PLAY fan. Definately PLAY. They stand out from the rest. I subscribe and write in. I once got a note in
in Issue 175 and got a freee copy of LOTR Conquest sent to me. Yeah, beat that losers, yeah you cant! PLAY rules, get it!
i HATE game informer! they're so predictable, so unopinionated. Edge is where its at, with their very in-depth writing and open-minded intellectualism, and the Play journalists are the only ones that seem honest most of the time, not to mention they know how to find something to like in every game.di_sgt_barberGame Informer is so unopinionated? Isn't a good thing? I thought objectivity in journalism is good.

Isn't a good thing? I thought objectivity in journalism is good. not when you give impressions and write reviews. they like what's popular. unlike Play, you won't see very unique opinions. Play journalist don't usually agree with the common opinion, and their mag is very different from the rest.

Not whether the reviewer liked it or not. I just want the facts and the information on the game, gameplay, story. I can determine for myself if I like the game; I don't really care if the reviewer liked the game. But that's me.[QUOTE="muthsera666"][QUOTE="di_sgt_barber"]i HATE game informer! they're so predictable, so unopinionated.

Oh. I guess I'm not a gamer, then.
