Default I don't know about you guys but

I think UK Video Game Magazines are underrated.. I like to go into Barnes & Noble in the magazine area and look at the plenty of xbox 360 magazines from
the UK..

I don't read any magazines, US, UK or Ukranian. Its out of date before its even printed.

I agree. I often walk past the magazine isle and wonder how they make money these days. Of course people like to see pictures and read articles, but in this day and age, everything a magazine can provide is available free at the click of a mouse. And like karma says, its usually outdated.

EDGE is a good UK magazine for reviews, they are quite strict and very well respected (behind PX360, of course).

Other than that, I don't even open the covers.

I subscribe to a couple auto magazines, and a motorcycle magazine. They don't just give generic information, but interviews, reviews, ratings, e.t.c.

You can't read the internet on the Sh**ter unless you have the luxury of a laptop. Then your just f**kin weird if you do read it on there.

Magazines are just so mobile. And I don't have to look up stuff. Pluss online I'm looking up stuff I want to play. Magazines inform me on games I'd otherwise never play. Their the ultimate crapper literature. I suscribed to EGM but started to lose interest and now I get OXM, which I enjoy.

I learned 2 things:

Josh doesn't understand that we're talking about video game news not automotive news.

Real Gryff doesn't eat enough insoluble fibre.
