One thing I dislike about the internet age: I used to be a lot happier with video games before I had access to all of this info. I used to be the best gamer in the world before I saw these youtube gamers and record breaking clans. I could have fun with a shitty game before people (video game magazines included) told me how shitty they were. I bet I would be absolutely floored with current gen graphics if it wasn't for online graphic whores telling me that the Unreal Engine looked like shit or that this game has flat textures. Sometimes, I think ignorance is bliss.

I whole heartidly agree with you.  Hell I saw more games in a monthly magazine than I do with websites now adays.  Seems like only certain games get exposure now when before every game got atleast a quater of a page with a screen shot and a blurb of text.

I agree with both of you. I remember playing the game for Street Fighter the movie and my friends loved it. If you look on any internet gaming site that is one of the worst games ever. I remember I never knew anyone better than me in Perfect Dark on N64 until I saw some videos on YouTube. I miss EGM and the excitement of reading through the whole magazine. I would read about games I was never going to play and I was still excited.

You know I was reading a Playstation Magazine that I picked up a few years back.  It had a bunch of games in there that I've never heard of.  It even put some games on my radar, mind you I got none of them and I forgot most of them, but I'm sure if I grab that issues I'm sure most of those games are out and no one knows of them.  Maybe I'll get a subscription to EGM.
