What Others Say
This was my first video game mag, so it's special to meh!
I like Gamepro. I actually miss how they used the silly faces for the ratings. I guess it was "immature", but "F" that! Seriously!
And now, it's half way filled with advertisements, advertisements and more advertisements. Not very appealing when you want information on your favorite games, and you have to skip through an advertisement every two pages, sometimes every other page!
I know they pay for GamePro to even "Be", but I still don't like the amount.
I like how they do the yearly "Presents to Get for X-Mas", and I've liked the Questions section, as well as the section that fills you in on glitches and such, as well as the section that gives you tips on how to fix things, game-related.
Craptacular!!!
I am utterly disappointed in the direction that Gamepro has taken over the past two years. I actually stopped my subscription for about 1 year, but came back to the 20 issues for $10 at their (10?) year anniversary. I forget. But the magazine is really bad.
One thing I laugh is, the retro corner. They have info about issues from 5 and 10 years before, and they always announce the number of pages from 10 years ago. I think the most recent issue, they said: 140 pages? Huh? I think my last issue was around 100. And don't try to tell me they've lost 40 pages in advertising.
Too bad on-line reviews and websites, are taking over the subscriptions of the hardcopy magazines. I'll stick with hardcopy until the end of my life. ... Read More
10 years ago, I'd have given it five stars.
There is absolutely no reason to buy this horrid excuse for a gaming magazine. Maybe it's because the brand-new games are downright bland and shallow compared to the simplicity and charm of 8 to 32-bit eras. Maybe it's because they constantly put stupid ads in it that have nothing to do with gaming at all (Nature's Cure, I'm looking in your direction!). Maybe it's because their new layout looks absolutely boring and sterile compared to the excellence of the mid-'90s layout. Maybe it's because they continue to slam certain games and series like the Sonic games where they say that Sonic 2 was the last great game. Maybe it's because their reviews aren't any interesting to read. Maybe it's because the staff tries too hard to inject humor and their writing ... Read More
Overrated Video Game Magazine
Stay away from this magazine. This magazine seems like it was made for beginning gamers.
Gamepro gets reviews for their magazines so late it's ridiculous. Other magazines have their reviews way before theirs It makes you think they're living in the past, like two months back. And the time frame that the magazine hits newstands is horrible. But that's not the reason they get their reviews so late. Honestly, I don't know why.
For their staff, they use cartoon characters. They don't have real pictures for their real faces. I don't know what they're trying to hide. Are they ashamed that they're nerdy gamers?
They also need to get rid of the stupid cheats and walkthroughs that take up about a fourth of their whole magazine. ... Read More
Gamer's In Detail
Video game magazines have been all the rage in our lives. Yet there are just so many of them that tell different stories for different video game systems. That has been the case with one of the biggest-selling ones of all time, Gamepro. They truly have made it one the most provocative and well in-depth magazines with detail about what games are popular according to their writers, and what upcoming games and systems are all in the works. The magazine is quite well, but I honestly do wish they could try to publish more in the way of codes and helpful hints for several games for Gamecube and Game Boy Advance, when most of it primarily focuses in on Playstation 2 & Xbox. Yet, Gamepro really handles itself as a very deep gamer's magazine. Anybody who wants to ... Read More
