"Videogame Mags Vs Videogames .com"

Well by .com I mean of course all the videogaming sites! But I mean the magazines of today tend to make more of a laugh and a joke of things but a lot of the stuff is very good to read and the news and columns aren't just up-to-date stuff from Japan, they have top ten and reader views. But having said this the news they release is about 1-2 months old, like today for example I was reading a mag, we'll call it Mag X and it had a thing on the X-Box and where as most mags are now comparing the X-Box to Nintendo's GAMECUBE this Mag, Mag X, had, 'first released pictures of the X-Box', now I understand it is hard to get info earlier than everone else something that is normally only done by the japanese.com companies. And this is where they fit in, the .com sites are updated very reularly some worldwide ones every 15 minutes! They have Previews and Reviews, Cheat and Tips and seems to be becoming more and more like an on-line Gaming Magazine! They are very useful and most internet ready gamers by less magazines, of course you can't read PS2I on the toilet so that is where a lot of Magazines come in...Portability! This is a great thing and of course subscribing to NOM is a lot cheaper than hooking a £200 palm-top to your contract mobile, so there Magazines win again but if you were in a room with a computer with internet availability and with a Magazine of the table, one of your choice which would you go for, I would personally choose the internet, the chances are it will be more up to date and you can view a lot of different opinions rather than Just Playstation's or Just Nintendo's. So for me it is the internet, you can get updated news and release dates and they don't just post what you want to hear you want to to try and boost Magazine sales...I feel they are more honest and on the beat, but hey it is an opinion...and well backed up I feel but I am sure that some of you would dive at the table for the Mag and I want to know why!

The Game

PS: Remember, this contribution could win you the game of your choice!

Excuese the Speling, if eny of it is rong,....:P
