I liked PSM for awhile ... but then stopped caring. I have about five years worth.

I also have about a year of Game Players (the same entire team moved onto PSM ... and the EIC runs Nintendo Power now).

I shall make an effort to get this issue of Retro Gamer ... sadly, where I'm at they come around about a month later.

Metal Jesus posted a video concerning various Video Game magazines, a nice review! Joystik magazine was mentioned, made me think about the PDFs I posted in the OP. If anyone else has additional PDF links of game magazines, please post.

I wouldn't call it great or anything, so don't misunderstand, but has anyone else been picking up the free gamecenter magazine at Walmart? It's published by them, so don't expect much if you see a copy (you can, however, expect a lot of Walmart ads.)

I've been picking it up when I see it out of curiosity's sake and because, well, it's free, so why the hell not. It's only 50 pages and it's got the usual magazine fare for a gaming magazine. It's even got interviews with various gaming staff, thought they're really short.

They did sort of surprise me with issue 3. They had a "Top 20 Video Games of All Time" feature and instead of shoving in a lot of current gen titles to try to boost sales like I expected them to do, they actually listed some good games: Symphony of the Night, Chrono Trigger, Half-Life 2, Super Metroid, Tetris, A Link tot he Past. They even had a side blerp of "5 Sequels We Want to Play" that included Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Mutant League Football, Vagrant Story, and Herzog Zwei.

I wouldn't say I was impressed or anything, but it's a neat little anomaly.
