GameInformer is sent straight to my spam.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I use to get Gameinformer from Gamestop but I stopped reading them because of their fanboy agenda.
When the editor said it wasn't possible to see quality software on Wii(implying there wasn't quality software on any console before Wii also) I just stopped reading it. Now I use them to get my fires going in winter without ever opening them up. Other than the only mag I read is Popular Science.

Some of those mags I actually didn't read for the news and gaming information. I just liked the writers with their witty style and respected their opinions. I was like "I wonder what Shawn Smith and Dan Hsu think of Perfect Dark!?", "Oh, they like it too!". The info eventually became outdated but it was an enjoyable experience.

I get Gameinformer free with my Gamestop rewards subscription. I'll flip through them while eating or pooing... or eating and pooing at the same time.

I stopped around 2005, for the exact same reason.

That and the mags I read were extremely biased sometimes.

Which mags were those?

But you can't necessarily blame Edge for that, they was just giving out really good advice!

Used to get the unofficial/official PSM for a good 8 years. Currently subscribed to Game Informer, even though finding stuff on the internet is easier sometimes it nices to sit back and look through.

No, they were clearly trying to keep people away from the console with the best exclusives.

I have Game Informer simply because PowerUp Rewards came with the subscription. I have yet to touch any of the issues I've received in the mail.
