I only subscribe to PSM. Game Pro became very Biased then I lost interest in it. PSM will actually say if they think Nintendo has a better game than PS2.

I subscribe to Nintendo Power, witch, IMO, is all i need, unless I get a PS2. I have read alot of magazines, but nintendo power is the only one I subscribe to. EGM is also pritty good.

I used to subscribe to Nintnedo Power, but since I have both a PS2 and a GC [and soon an Xbox as well] I now subscribe to EGM. As a criticism to all gaming mags I wish their mailbag sections were larger cuz really those are my fav parts of the magazine]. I occasionally read Nintendo Power and PSM and when I'm reeeeeeeeealllllly bored and have the spare change I'll pick up a GamePro [just for the mailbag section ;)]...

I subscribe to EGM. It is EASILY the best gaming magazine out there, for it's news, staff, and humor. All the screenshots and news articles are great. Plus, the reviews are honest and not biased.

I also get Nintendo Power. It is ok compared to EGM, but I mainly get it for the strategies and screenshots. The news is old, and the reviews are not always honest when a game is made by Nintendo. Oh well, I like both.........

I read EGM, Gamepro, and any others i like at the time (i get em free). My favorite is EGM though. Even though they said Halo was better than MGS2, i still like their comical side.

I respect Gamepro a lot. They don't jack on games that everyone else thinks might suck, like Celda. I had a subscription to it.

I like Nintendo Power too, I like seeing new stuff, and I like the posters they give out sometimes.

EGM is also a cool magazine, they have the best strategies and reviews. and Tsu and Chan are funny as sin.

MGS2 is good but I have to agree what EGM said about Halo. I don’t have an X-box but my friends do. We played teams of 4 vs 4, it was great and we had a lot of fun.

Back to the topic, EGM is the #1 gaming magazine. They have good reviews and have a lot inside coverage of games. Sometimes ill read The Official Playstation Magazine.

I get EGM. It's the best game magazine there is. I only disagreed with the ratings they gave to one game (all their ratings are right on). Hsu and Chan is hilarious, my favorite one is where they make their own Pokemon. (Uselessbug "He... I don't know, can be used as a doorstop... or something."):rotfl:

My only subscription is Nintendo Power. Mostly out of loyalty, and because it's rarer to find a store that caries it on the shelves. I also buy every issue of PSM (I should just subscribe, but oh well).

I read a lot of EGM. I used to love Gamepro, but it's kind of lame now. Fortunately, it's not near as biased as EGM is. Man is that magazine pro-X-Box. I wonder how much Microsoft is paying them. Probably not quite as much as they pay those idiots on Electric Playground (f-ers called Melee a button masher, gave it a rating of 3/10, then went on to say Dead or Alive 3 was a far superior fighter and gave it 9/10. MAN did that piss me off).

I pick up EGM every month and will most likely subscribe to it soon. I'm subscribed to GI at the moment but don't plan to renew my subscription. The jokes seem corny and the magazine as a whole seems very unorganized. I use to get NP, but the ratings are really bad (one sentence for each reviewer and a few sugar-coated paragraphs about the game) and good information is hard to come by.

I buy every issue of GamePro and PC Gamer every month. I'm thinking about getting a subscription for them, once I get the money. They're both hilariously funny-especially PC Gamer- but I'm mad that GamePro has been getting biased lately, they have been loosening up though.

Overall, Nintendo isn't that good a magazine. THey're reviews are always (almost) in favor of the game. The letters section seems to be populated by infantile pre-teens. And the writers think they're funny, but aren't. There seems to be some Pokemanure fetish in the magazine as well.

I am glad they brought back Epic Center, though, and the news seems to be always pretty fresh. Their strategy sections are pretty good, too.
