Me, I got to Game Informer. They get all the exclusive interviews and sneak peaks. Like Vice City and Halo 2 are great examples. Game Informer is also the most balanced. I find that EGM has way too many fanboys. Just my opinion. Whats yours?

EGM and Game Informer are great magazines, but Gamepro has seriously fallen off over the last few months.

Nintendo Power. Their reviews arn't great but their previews and strategy sections are awesome.

Game Informer and EGM. Those two are the very best. I do find websites like IGN far better then any gaming mag.

EGM has went downhill really fast.

GamePro has never really been good, but they are worse then they used to be. I remember before they used to do some cool features like the "Controller Torture Test" and stuff. Things like that were worth reading since nobody would do things like those. Now the only things you find in GamePro are 3 month old news and 1 paragraph previews.

GameInformer keeps improving (their new redesign is real nice IMO) and they get huge exclusives like Halo 2 and GTA: SA. Their reviews are still shitty though, definitely not trustworthy.

I used to like EGM so much. But I feel like they have lost their magic touch and have gone downhill very quickly. They are sometimes biased, they give crappy scores to hard yet great games. Like F-Zero GX got 7's because of its difficulty. Same with XIII. They are getting less and less reliable in their reviews. It's still a good mag, just not as good as it used to be.

I've always loved Game Informer. Before, I had trusted a lot of different magazines, and had found them interesting.. Times have most certainly changed though, and now most of what I see are biased articles that you really can't trust whatsoever.

Unfortunately.. My GI subscription just ran out. =/ So now I rely on different websites.

Okay, OXM, and EGM are cool, but I don't have a subscription to EGM. I like Gamepro.

Well IGN is my number one source gaming wise, but we're talking magazines. I have a subscription to EGM (came with being an Insider) and Nintendo Power (Zelda Collection), and I don't think either is really all that great. The reviews in both are quite poor, but once in a while they have some nice previews or something. I guess I like Power better, it's all Nintendo, winner to me.
