"Great News For Magazine Heads"

I'm sure there are still people that buy videogame magazines on here. I used to be one of them until i read the Arc the Lad review Play did and didn't actually mention anything about the game. I knew that was the time to give it up and stop wasting my money (plus the reviews can be found on their site anyway :-D)

But the other day i was watching gamertv (a quite good videogames show on Bravo, mostly up-to-date unlike gamepad which still thinks centipede is a major step for gaming and it keeps the crappy jokes to a minimum, unlike cybernet and doesn't have two 'bad ass rudeboy' muppets that gamezville has, though it's still nowhere in the class of gamesmaster)

Anyway they ran a feature on Famitsu the japanese videogame bible, which has basically the power to make or break a game in Japan because it's opinions are so respected. During it the editor and a few other people stated they were looking into branching overseas and publishing their magazine worldwide.


Now i've read a few copies of it because my contact in Japan occasionally sends me some over and it is just as good as they say, funny, great features and the reviewers actually review games instead of spending 2/3's of the review making some lame ass joke about something or telling us what he had for dinner the other night. So if it does start getting a worldwide publication i think this would be a really good thing. No more having to put up with the crap that is around at the moment, just proper journalism that gives the gamer facts about a game before going out and wasting their money on it.

I just hope it actually comes to fruition

I noticed that too, seems to be an epidemic of it on the boards lately. Something happen around here that I missed the last couple of weeks?

I still have no idea what you're on about. It just looks like an attempt at having a dig at me without any real reason.

I love Memorandum and think he's a great bloke.

P.S. I saw this thread recently:

I saw that episode too and I'd be quite pleased if they released Famitsu over here, for one thing it's a weekly mag so you'd be kept bang up to date about everything. Plus it does sound like a very well written magazine, so yea a European release could be very good for us I reckon.

And apparently so did FantasyMeister.
