Yesterdaay I went to a massive store that sold nearly every magazine there was to do with computing. At this store I realised how many computer gaming magazines there actually are. There is at least six for each format. Playstation gamers had the most chioce at around 11 magazines, followed by PC with around 9 and then N64 with around 8 then Gameboy with 6 magazines. There where alot more magazines than this because there where some for Apple Mac user, Dreamcast, retro consoles. And then there is the multi format magazines, there is about 7 of them.

The thing is with all them magazines about how do you choose which one you want to read? Is it the free gift, or the front cover, or the storys inside, or is it because you've alway read that mag and cant be bothered to change?
Also what magazines do you read (related to gaming) and which one is your favourite?

I think that the best Nintendo magazine would have to be NGC! It can appeal to all ages better than the other ones!

PC Gamer. This is the magazine for PC gaming. It has excellent reviews that are very accurate. ALdo there are good previews of upcoming games. Many more features are included too. The two demo discs are full with the latest and best demo's around. Like UFGO said if you own a PC then this is the magazine to get.
