Its sad to see magazines fall. When I was a kid it was "THE" way to find out about games. We would carry the mags around with us and stare at the pictures of the games and read the articles over and over again. I love having the net around but I still subscribe to the physical magazines.
I guess I am holding on to the past, but its a piece of the past I truly don't want to let go of.
I enjoy getting my mags in the mail.
Heh, I remember reading a preview for a game that was to launch with the PS1. I can't remember the game but it was a mech game. I could NOT wait for that game alone. Now I gotta look it up after this. It probably sucked, but back then it was probably fun. If you know what I mean.
Man, this sparked some nostalgia and the op was only about a magazine closing up shop. lol
EDIT: That didn't take long. lol
It was Kileak - The DNA Imperative and it SUCKED. I think my friends hated it more than me though as I remember getting pretty far in it and they couldn't even figure out the first part.
Ah those were the days, Resident Evil scared the crap out of me, Doom had me trying to beat it on the hardest setting and Rage Racer had me trying to perfect my driving in order to beat the game. Man if that game had achievements I would be proud of that.
Anyways, RIP Nintendo Power.
