Although we get most of our video game news from the web, I don't believe print to be dead. Other than exclusives, video game magazines may not be timely sources of news, but they often carry interesting perspective, entertaining features and great photo spreads. In this video, I talk about three of my favorite mags:
GamesTM
A multiplatform UK mag loaded with content, great articles and articulate reviews. In the US, GamesTM is available at bigger bookstores like Barnes & Noble, and despite its hefty import price, is quite worth it.
Nintendo Power
Sort of whimsical without sacrificing worthwhile content, Nintendo Power is packed full of great information in every issue, including interviews, collectibles and retro reviews.
Retro Gamer
A UK based sister publication to GamesTM, Retro Gamer is arguably my favorite magazine. Also available at big US bookstores (and at pricey subscription rates), Retro Gamer is packed full of entertaining and informative articles. After reading every issue, I feel like I've learned tons of new things about gaming history.
