It seems Game Informer's death was... Greatly exaggerated

I never cared for game informer. It always felt like GameStop was trying to shill it in order to sell subscriptions to a magazine that's basically a giant advertisement for GameStop.

Gimme those cooler magazines. Game Pro, Nintendo Power, PSM etc.

I understand what you're saying about Game Informer, but it's hilarious you name Nintendo Power and PSM as alternatives, considering that.

Most magazines are just ads.

Game Informer always felt like the cheap knockoff to Electronic Gaming Monthly.
