I think we need someone to elaborate on these scandals. The only ones I've ever heard about were when certain editors complained about the old management. Most noticeable Chris Johnson, who seemed to rank really high on the annoying nerd metre. I don't blame Ed for hating him.

Sir!

Oh yeah, the Official Final Fantasy VII Magazine was sooo much better than the Official Street Fighter II Magazine.
People are way overthinking this! It's a groovy magazine. Read it on the shitter and have fun. I'm happy.

Funny that they're back to spelling out the whole name. 
That's a nice looking cover. I wonder if it's a mock-up for an advertising rate card or if it is indicative of the actual first cover. Either way, looks pretty hot. Looking forward to this revival, and can't wait to see who's on the staff (haven't heard anything at all which is kind of interesting...).
If it's a mock-up done for an ad rate card it's possible they just put in whatever and it's just for illustrative purposes. I believe this was done once before with the mocked-up EGM2 first-cover that had a bullet point about Mortal Kombat III or something and everyone went crazy.

you could be correct. I pulled this off of Steve Harris' Facebook page. He also posted that they were looking for published game journalists just recently.

Where will they be located? Or is this some mainly online thing?

I am also confused, is this an online publication or an actual physical revival?

listen to the mad man
I like how Assassin's Creed 2 is a 2010 game.

I am in the 5% of readers who actually paid, get this, money for their EGM. I know.
I really hope we get our paid subscriptions carried over. I never even got Maxim for the remainder of my subscription... There must be a way to distinguish between paid subscribers and freebie hunters.
C'mon EGM, do the right thing!

Both. The magazine is the business, but they'll have a site presence on some level.

Won't happen... it's not even the same company. Ziff sold your subscription to Maxim... they also sold the name EGM to Steve Harris... two separate entities. This is not the EGM you subscribed to.

That's good to hear. I know you always find out info online long before each monthly magazine comes out, but I like something you can pick up and page through.
When they get this up and going again, I will be ordering a subscription. When are they supposed to be starting this? Or has it started already?

that's actually a good question. are they changing the model for the magazine, or is it just "egm part deux?" it'd be nice if they took the opportunity to look to a mag like EDGE for their new modus operandi: small subscriber base that pays a premium, excellent paper quality, focus on in-depth stories. . . maybe even bimonthly rather than monthly. i'd be so all over that.

That's what makes it so appealing to those of us who carried this shit to 7th grade in 1994.

While I have fondness for EGM that goes all the way back to the first issue, I was kinda pleased they would not be around to review Endless Ocean 2. Oh well, maybe they have learned their lesson.

So true. Few memories can compare to the awesomeness of getting home from school in junior high, looking in the mailbox, and seeing the beastly Holiday preview guide, running inside the house triumphantly, and instantly making the wrong decision by getting hyped up on some lame Lynx game they had a tiny snippet of coverage on.

Haha, god. For me it was PC Gamer and CGW, both of which I subscribed to for about a decade, but yeah that is a potent memory. It was the absolute goddamn most exciting moment when one of those mags arrived. I'd read the entire thing cover to cover every month. I really wish that were still the way I was accustomed to reading about games.lawblob said:

Cmon, that's obviously just a mockup cover. I don't think they're anywhere near releasing a first issue.
