Which magazine would you buy and which one would you run a way from?
Think of all the magazines there are. Loads and loads. About 5 for all the different formats. Especially for Playstation. Playstation Max, Official PS Mag and many more. Hopefully thinking that they can make a profit from the millions of Sony fans out there. Playstation 2 also has 2 or 3 mags including Official PS2 Mag and PsX and PS2 (a mix of both formats). I collect OPS2 Mag because it offers a demo with every issue. I think that this is the best mag made.
Now i have noticed, when i had an N64 i used to collect a variety of magazines. Some stayed for a feew months and then went bust. But 2 stand out mong the rest. Nintendo Official Magazine (which i don't really like) and N64 Mag (which will be changed to NGC Magazine next issue). They are different in many ways. N64 is funny and more about Nintendo while NOM is sort of babyish, heavily into Pokemon with lots of pictures of games. NOM also brags about being the best a lot when clearly it isn't.
Sega have had a fair few amount of magazines too. They have had Mega Mag, Sega Saturn Official Mag and now DC mag has gone bust they don't really have any more. I used to have a Sega Mega Drive and have some issues of some of these mags. But now Sega is almost dead I am sending a message to Sega about how good they were back then.
Microsoft have now joined the console wars and will be producing special X-Box mags in the near future i would say. They already have loads of PC mags but they don't really have much on games. But we can expect X-Box Mags to be hitting the shops soon after the US release.
Also there are some neutral magazines like Games Master and Games Mag Ltd. These focus on all consoles but are usually big supporters of Sony. I have noticed thta GM have become interested in Ninty with all the GC stuff recently but i have always known them to be big Sony fans. They don't really care much about the X-Box but do many people really anyway.
So anyway. Now to the big question. What is your favourite magazine and what format is it on?
Thanks 4 reading, Afro.

All format magazines don't support Sony.
They tend to be unbiased.
They do more coverage on the Playstation because it's the biggest mass market gizmo and has the most games released on it.

Didn't you like it.
The current demoes are good, especially Soul Reaver 2. Anybody else completed that demo yet.
I do also get PSW and PSM2 occasionally, because I sometimes like to get different opinions of a game.
