Nice piece about #games magazines. I've transitioned mostly over to digital versions, although I am still attached to my paper subscription to GamesTM.

I like the feel of paper magazines, and I think I'm of a generation for whom printed design, (and words and photography if I'm honest) is held in a special reverence.

That said I don't hoard mine anymore. They get recycled anyway, and the amount of times I've tried to use the zoom gesture on the printed page. #gaming

Video games magazines and me

It's fun to read angry reviews of rubbish things. But enthusiasm reads great, too. 'Valve just hit the high note no other developer could reach,' from Edge'…

@Pixelchristi I have fond memories of reading Computer & Video Games, Mean Machines, EGM, Sega Power and (later) Edge. I was subscribed to the latter for years, but unsubscribed after I had tons of back-issues to go through. I still think the 90's were the best time for #games magazines.

@nielsim yeah agreed. I loved CVG. Edge was a revelation back in it's early days. Wish I'd kept that issue 1 ;)
