Damn. I grew up with print media, there was a great feeling in reading about games that were coming and seeing the photos long before they were available.

Waiting for fatality guides for the new MK's, seeing what Sushi-X's and Quarterman latest rumors were.

Wondering what next months Nintendo Power cover would be.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug but print media never stood a chance in the modern climate. Especially as resources get more constrained and readers continue to decline.

I will always miss real, written journalism though. It feels like we are never going back to that, even online.

Well that sucks, can’t even think of a decent gaming news/magazine at this point.

Not like PCGamer will pickup the slack or anything. Gameinformer was cool because they covered smaller games sometimes. Feels like online gaming mags only cover big releases these days.
