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

You can read Japanese?
If Famitsu starts being made over here, every other game mag will seriously have to sort themselves out. I can't wait - if this happens, it will truely rock.
I gave up on PS2 mags, since Play became so crap - just let my sub run out with them and sign up with NGC, as my GC is getting more use anyway.
Whoever brings Famitsu over here should be knighted.
