Next Generation Magazine Returns
The Video Game Ombudsman has word that Next Generation magazine will be returning as a website. The site will apparently be focused on the business and development sides of the industry, and avoid a pure consumer focus. From the article: "The official announcement will come in a press release any day now, but the Web site reveals a lot of information about the new incarnation. The site will be managed by editor-in-chief Colin Campbell and consultant editor Christian Svensson, who co-created the Next Generation Online site back in 1995, and published by Future USA. Besides the two editors, most of the content will come from freelance contributors, which the site is actively seeking. The site says it's looking for writers that "have strong opinions" and are 'stylish, original and witty.'"
And, I bet this site will be more ads then content... just like the old mag. It's hard to read real magazines, there's no Ad-Block for paper mags.
