No. I'd already stated my disdain for majority of the "gaming media" and they're certainly no exception.

I had a subscription to EGM probably 8 or 9 years ago and I just stopped getting it because I just stopped reading it. I think it would suck if it went under because it was a pretty good magazine but i also got gamepro at the time and liked EGM alittle better.
I never really go to 1up but I think it will suck if it goes under.

Whats so funny about a company goin down ?

There are 290 jobs at stake!

Is your fanboyism makin you totally ignorant ? 

Lol sad about the staff losingg their jobs but I am kind of glad that this site is going under as I never did trust them...

Lol sad about the staff losingg their jobs but I'm not a fan of the site so i don't think it's neccesarily a bad thing...

Ok, I think some of you are taking it a bit too far. You guys make it out to seem that EGM is etremely anti-Nintendo. However, this is unfounded.

Before the Wii and PS3 even launched, Shoe had an said in his editorial that he believed that Nintendo had a good shot of taking the number one spot this gen. And then there was the issue where a group of them had to decide between PS3 and Wii based on launch games. I believe everyone chose Wi, or at least 3/4 did.

Anyway, I won't be too sad to see them go. Compare a mag today to one of their mags 5 years ago, and you will see a huge drop in both size and quality. They rarely even review that many games nowadays, at least outside of big releases.

nah never went to the site...but only once cause I needed to watch the E3 event and Gamespot.com was lagging so I went to 1up.com.

EGM has no statistical bias against Wii or PS3 games.  Just the parent website 1up. 

EGM's Wii, PS3 and 360 reveiws all fall about 5% below the average game ranking.  On average all 3 games from the system are likely to get a score that is a half a point lower then deserved. 

This is not bias.  They are just tough reviewers.  Tough reviewers are my favorite because i honestly think game magazines are too easy on games.  I'd perfer is games were more or less equally distributed on a bell curve centered at 5.  Of course that would mean nearly half the games made would get under a 5, which most gamers and game developers would get quite mad at.

I know that Nintendo has some issue with EGM, as they cancelled the Reggie interview. Could have something to do with the way they were throwing hardballs at Moore and Harrison, but Shoe's editorial implied it was a bit more personal than that. I occasionally read the 1up reviews, always read the EGM reviews, and I'd go as far as saying there is some("some" being the key word) anti-Nintendo sentiment among the staff(but obviously not all). The Wii review of Medal of Honour always comes to mind; it seemed to place a good bit of the shortcomings of the game on the Wii itself, rather than the devs and the fact that EA is just milking the game into irrelevance. Of course, after inferring this there are the obligatory "the Wii deserves better" comments, but the tone of the review speaks for itself. You can also look at EGM's previews and upcoming release coverage and find it is slap full of PS3 and 360 coverage, with little room left for serious Wii and DS coverage. It's no secret that Nintendo is way stingey with showing it's stuff, but you can't tell me that the people behind games like No More Heroes, Z&W, Dewey's Adventure, and RE: Umbrella Chronicles wouldn't open up if they were given the spotlight. It's gotten to the point that I, a longtime EGM supporter and subscriber, wait with zero enthusiasm for the latest issue's blowout coverage of the latest dark and dreary, high-octane, zero personality 360/PS3 game. I've saw plenty of 360/PS3 games that are interesting, but it just seems that EGM is locked into a system that caters to a specific type of game and little else. I guess you could say they are run by(what many consider)hardcore gamers, but the reviewers seem to enjoy a nice variety of games(a sharp contrast to the coverage of the mag). I'd much rather they cover more of the games they apparently enjoy, than to have to look at another 10 page piece on the latest Halo 3/GTA 4 trailer or tidbits of information.

IMO I dont think the company should go down..
