So, I'm curious as to what gaming mags are still out there aside from Game Informer. Never really liked Game Informer, but I have a stack of them a mile high from the years of Game Stop memberships.

I remember there used to be Nintendo Power, of course, which met its untimely end a few years back, Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, and my all time favorite: Tips & Tricks. Tips & Tricks always had great cover art, fan art, reviews, previews, multi-part walkthroughs, THE PENCIL PUZZLES!!! I looked forward to the pencil puzzles every time I was lucky enough to take one home from the grocery store. I remember for a year or two they had a dedicated page in the back for Animal Crossing. Good stuff, man...

Seanbaby WHAT?!? That pink hair! Man... Yeah I miss those days. Reading the walkthrough for Maximo even though I'd never played it, watching Filter on early G4....

I picked up a Retro subscription but from time to time i look for cheap copies of early issue Nintendo Power and Gamepro.  Ah memories.
