Forums - General - Before IGN and Vgchartz where did you get your gaming news?

Tagged games:

I would always use Nintendo Power and PlayStation magazine then after that, a site called GamesAreFun.com until it died a slow and painful death, sadly.



Around the Network

Nintendo Official Magazine (now ONM) and Gamesmaster




GameSpot. I still visit it everyday during my morning coffee sessions. I absolutely hate their new format, but I still go there out of habit.



I still don't use VGC for news on games even now. I'm more of a Gamespy type of guy since they only post mostly really big news. Before this I used CGW, cause it was fucking awesome.

Most of my gaming news came from Nintendo Power, Electronic Gaming Magazine, and Game Informer.



It was ign first but that was hopeless. Vgchartz is terrible for news so i get all my gaming news on n4g.



Nintendo Power

I have around 150 issues sitting around at my parents' house.

Word of mouth...I never used to look for gaming news, I would just go out and buy games, it was a lot simpler back then.
