It's going to be sad watching EGM go. I always liked them over GameInformer. It's been a while since I picked up an issue of EGM, but I remember that the articles were always more interesting. I loved the fact that it wasn't catered to young kids. Alot of you who are talking about Nintendo Power is right... it is one of the most biased game mags out there. Of course, it only stands to reason that a video game company would promote their own products through their own magazine. :/

I still get Nintendo Power issues.
At least now they acknowledge other consoles, not like back in the 90's where there'd be NO MENTION of other versions of the same game, etc.

NP is still the worst tho.

I was more of a Tips & Tricks fan for some reason.

Anyways, what kills me is Ziff-Davis of all people own EGM. First they sell ZDTV off to those monkeys that owned G4 and now this.

So, did anyone hear the news about UGO buying 1UP?

So not only is EGM dead, but 1up is now ruined. They've laid off 30+ people, many of which are longtime and important contributors. That's a damn shame, because as far as the major mainstream video game sites, 1up was easily the best, IMO. I can't see myself switching over to IGN or Gamespot, because I can't stand either of those. But I won't watch UGO run 1up into the ground, either.

Not sure if it's been brought up, but it looks like Midway might be going under as well.

Really? Midway? Not so long ago, they just released a statement regarding how the MK Vs DC was a hit and how they are already planning for their next MK game(and plan on releasing info soon). Out by the end of 2009: Mortal Kombat: Financial Fatality!
