What's your choice?

I prefer gamespot over ign. Gamespot's interface is much easier to navigate through. You can easily select the game you want through a scrolling window. IGN feels like a big mess to me. Some of their dvd reviews are worthwhile though.

EGM is probably my favorite magazine, though I also get gameinformer. I like the letters to the editor as well as EGM's Sean Baby reviews. They have a high humor factor.

Back in the day I subscribed to Nintendo Power. I remember the 1st issue with SMB2 on the cover. And I remember the little newsletters that were NP's forerunner.

PSM had good humor and art. And, since I was only looking for playstation games while I read the magazine, it had all the reviews I needed.

Was getting EGM and Gamepro for free at my old address. Before that used to buy EGM every so often. First one I got was when cube and gba were revealed...it had about 4 times as many pages as a normal one...though most of it was highlighting all of the PS2 games.

I don't mind EGM, don't really like it. I liked Official Dreamcast Magazine. I liked Next Gen. EGM is just the only decent choice these days.

But usually, I just use IGN for movies, and news. I'm not big into previews, sometimes for a play test like after E3, but usually if you follow the news, I don't bother with previews.

As for reviews, I usually go with word of mouth, from people I respect. I don't really care if the graphics don't hold up to some big-budget game, or if the sound is so great Dolby uses it for marketing, I'm all for it, but I also like weird games, and you usually hear about those from the few guys who buy them.
