  1. Gaming magazines that aren't trash by dangermouse · · Score: 1 · on Are Game Magazines Turning Into Men's Magazines?
    I spend more than my fair share of time at a local Joe Muggs, drinking passable coffee and reading through stacks of magazines from all over the store.

    The only gaming magazine I've found that's worth a damn is Polygon. All the others look like-- and more importantly are, in my experience-- juvenile crap. Their substance of badly written, uninteresting articles is all but drowned out by the flashy crapfest that Kyle partially describes.

    So, my question is: What gaming magazines out there are actually good? Which ones are well-written enough, or at least well-designed enough, that they would be at least a little bit interesting to someone who hasn't been 15 in a good long time, or who doesn't have a completely unbalanced interest in games? I've read that 1UP is good-- are there any other worthwhile gaming zines?

  2. Too Bad They're Not Buying Local Anymore by DaFlusha · · Score: 1 · on UK Shows Record Game Sales, Xmas Hardware Decline

    It's funny to look at the surging health of the UK game market in light of all the failed European game studios mentioned on Slashdot earlier this week. Clearly someone's not rooting for the home team.
