I used to enjoy reading Electronic Gaming Monthly last year a helpful someone on this site linked a free trial subscription to the community, and I gave it a try. I was hopeful the writing had improved, but ironically it doesn't seem to have progressed. They are still writing articles like is was six or seven years ago.
The problem is this by the time it reaches your mailbox the information is already months old. A review a month after a game came out isn't very useful. The articles are mostly fluff pieces, and the humor is just juvenile. Added to that mixture is only enough reading material to pacify for an hour at most. With an almost sick level of pictures and advertisements. Other magazines on varying subjects are more edifying. They do not let themselves be time constrained, and provide compelling reading.
Basically times changed, and this magazine didn't. That is all there is to it, and it isn't worth buying. Reading it is like reading a elementary school essay that was triple spaced and had one inch borders. Sure its twelve pages long, but its mostly empty space. Why can I pick up a Scientific American on a lark and get eight hours of reading material, and this magazine can last me through a mild bought of late night diarrhea.
