What turned me off to EGM starting in the late 90s was how outdated their issues were at the time. They would have features on events that took place months previously and even though I respected their reviews it was annoying to have to wait a month (sometimes two) after a game hit the shelves to read EGM's review of it.

I stopped reading the magazine not long after that but reading earlier this year that they admitted to making up many of the rumors in their rumor column really pissed me off. It's one thing not to be able to disclose information they know but to basically pull peoples' chains is truly insulting to their readers.
