What Gaming Mags do you read

I love reading gaming mags and  there is alot of knowledge to be gained by reading one.
The mags a read are: ONM (Official Nintendo Magazine),Games Master, Ngamer and occasionally Edge or Games trademark
I wouldnt be on this site if it wasnt for ONM it introduced me to Hardcore Gaming.
Anybody else read any of these?

 I have a subscription to Edge and occasionally pick up the Retro Gamer compilations or Games TM Retro compilations. There is a good Games TM Retro compilation book-magazine that is out at the moment that I picked up at an airport. Some fascinating stuff in it.

I also have a subscription to Edge, and do get Retro Gamer.
I also collect the odd Crash, ZZap and Computer & Video Games from Ebay.

Generally - I don't.  I occasionally pick up the unofficial Xbox one (the sub-£3 one) but that's only once in a blue moon as I don't really buy the latest, latest games any more.

None. Intraweb finished them off. Forums are the future - like interactive mags (as is youporn LOL)

Re: What Gaming Mags do you read

 None for me am afraid.  Back in the day I bought every 1 that came out and cost my poor  mum a fortune  Anyway there was so many different kinds such as games master, cvg, nes force, super play, total, mean machines etc

Quite a few years back I bought the Games Tm magazine simply for the retro section.  But then after a few issues I thought I was crazy for buying the magazine just for that lol  The retrogamer magazine believe it or not is hard to find where I live.  Apart from Tesco, I cant think of any other shops here that sell it.  If it was cheaper, id perhaps buy it

I also wish there was other retro magazines in the shops to buy

Re: What Gaming Mags do you read

I am co-owner of a magazine preservation site where we scan and edit gaming magazines and release them for free.  Love gaming magazines myself, have about 300 or so US mags (only 2 or 3 UK issues though) and I keep buying "lots" of them on ebay every month or so to fill out missing issues.
