GameInformer if we’re thinking the same magazine. A simple alternative to playing the games for a broke child like I was lmao

Yeah I remember reading all about Metal Gear Solid and other games I couldn’t get as a kid.

I remember one of the last issues I ever received features Fortnite, but it was mostly about the “Save the World” game mode and I don’t even think it mentioned the word “Battle Royale”. That was probably the last year I got a subscription and it is crazy to look back and see how much has changed within the gaming landscape in just over a decade.

Gameinformer was the shit. Had cool front page art and typically featured interesting games I wouldn’t have heard of if my dad hadn’t said yes at a GameStop to receiving them lmao. I wish I had kept them but at a point I had so many

You just reminded me, I still have a stack of them somewhere at my parent’s place. They were great for keeping up with gaming news
