(I could not for the life of me find a image of this issue to put in this post!) I can recall a time when Game Informer was a laughing stock. In essence, I think this issue is a money grab and not all that great. The abstract art used throughout the issue isn't very good either and the pictures used often take up entire pages for not good reason with lots of blank page remaining. The whole book is basically a collection of top 10 lists (again, I know this isn't a standard issue) and I usually detest top 10 list.
I'm still a undergrad student working on his BS in History so I'm no grammar Nazi but I did manage to find at least two or three grammar errors and misspellings in this issue. Now, I'm not familiar with Gamepro's release schedule and specials but I'm guessing this issue isn't a standard issue of the mag and that I shouldn't use it as a point of comparison against the others magazines I got this month but there are few things that stick out. The first one I picked up and read was Gamepro's Summer Issue Special. Also, sorry for the crappy images but I couldn't seem to find current images of the new mags yet. I decided this month that I was going to find one of these mags and finally subscribe. I always felt guilty for not supporting the podcast/websites that put out a print magazine by subscribing. I've been listening to 1up and a slew (over 8 different ones) of other podcast for well over two years now. I developed this urge to pickup said mags this month after listening to the new 1up's podcast with John Davis and the Editor-in-Chief's for Game Informer and EGM. So, me getting a Gamepro, Game Informer and the new EGM this month is somewhat outside of my M.O. I can't even recall the last time I read a video game enthusiast print magazine.
