GamePro magazine recently went quarterly but that doesn’t mean you should count it out. The folks over at GamePro just dropped their cover on the net, saying that the new “periodical” is the last great video game magazine.
Going quarterly means it forces a magazine to be more thoughtful, less tied to time pegs, and a much better read if it wants to succeed. Here’s hoping GamePro achieves all of that.

You can’t go to ign and get a well thought out piece on the industry or an over clocking guide or real news from Intel. Not to mention people can write in well thought out opinions rather than the flame war crap in IGN’s comments. Magazine are still better. You just have to wait a couple of weeks for there review on a game, big whoop.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 12:53 AMHyper, PC Powerplay, Atomic & Retro Gamer(UK). For cheap rags Game Informer is where its at (for $5 you cant lose – feels like 1994!), Gamepro was never that good to begin with… best US mag was Tips & Tricks (when games had codes)
