Bummer. Game Informer was the leading game magazine when Game Pro and Nintendo Power were around, though? I think not. Game Informer was third fiddle at best.

2006 is a bit late in the game. Game magazines as a relevant medium peaked in the 90s. By 2006 you have a pretty robust internet, what’s the point? Yeah, sure, if you stick them in every single B&N they’ll sell, but Game Pro and Nintendo Power were institutions in the 90s. If you wanted to know about games, that was the way.

Good. It was just garbage to con you into their paid club. Every month, they would announce things in it that we learned on the Internet weeks before.
Good riddance to some bad rubbish.

I LOVED the print version back in the day. It was a quality publication.

I read the digital edition in high school, the covers were a lot more fun in print!
