I know most in this thread are concerned with recent EGM and their 1up site, and rightfully so, and I don't know if there were many long term members of EGM still with them from over the years but I hope the ones there land on their feet.
I don't come over here very often, as I've lost most of my interest in videogames nowadays. EGM though represented somewhat of a "golden age" of videogames, from their start up through the 16-bit wars, to the late 90's and the early era of the internet it was still very popular. I used to love to read issues of Nintendo Power, Gamepro, and EGM back in the day as the only source for videogame news.
Nothing like hulking 400 page issues (even if 25% of it were ads) to hype you up over the next game. I kind of think the videogame industry itself is just redundant nowadays, and EGM was lucky to have covered it at its apex, through the transition of powerful 16 bit games in the SNES vs. Genesis era, to the start of the 3D era. I miss that era a lot, maybe just nsotalgia, but there was nothing like seeing the next big new thing around that time and getting that issue in the store or from the mail to see what was going to happen next.
R.I.P. EGM.
