The only time they're worth reading is when they've gone out of their way to get an exclusive, in which case a website could have done the same job had the mag not paid more, and someone inevitably posts the info online anyway. That's the nature of modern news, exclusivity is now measured in minutes.<br /Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5270332440206926629.post-44999173368498463092009-11-28T01:51:21.645-05:002009-11-28T01:51:21.645-05:00how can you honestly say this?

But then I discovered Metacritic for reviews, N4G for general news and then my mag stopped releasing demo discs, but continued to charge the same high price. When I discovered one of the journalists who writes for the mag also writing on IGN I severed ties completely.<br /><br />I don't feel bad.

I don't like paying £5.99 to hear news I read on N4G two months ago, or to read reviews that because of costs and advertising are basically just adverts, written by people who aren't allowed to tell the truth. Or get a demo I downloaded last month. Mags are dead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
