There are some magazines out there that our strictly for classic games, but I forgot the names of them. One starts with an M... "Mancy Games" maybe?

some of you may not know, there is a new mag called Hardcore Gamer, its put together by some of the guys from the original GameFan staff. [No ECM, i think he had a break down after the whole GameGO! magazine fiasco] It's starting out pretty good, the third issue is due in August.

i also subscribe to Play, really nice writing and layout. caters to the hardcore, while staying in the mainstream.

Wouldn't say every game on the.. NeoGeo sucked.

I didn't say every game on the NeoGeo sucked, I said every magazine sucked. The NeoGeo was awesome.

Ok no problem then the way you said it i wasn't sure :oops:

I do agree just about every... game mag today does sucked.

It would be nice if there was a, magazine by gamers for gamers.

Thats what Play is supposed to be.

Didn't he used to work for Gamefan? Yeah that was quite the hype machine. Especially for the companies they were in bed with; lets see- atari, crystal dynamics, treasure, did I miss any?

yeah crystal dynamics, remember that blood omen issue? it was probably about 12 pages of balls to the walls coverage. i did buy it on release though.

I missed that one. Loved the game though. Wish they would do another 2D Kain game. They are sitting on a DS/GBA goldmine if nothing else.

Yeah did start out at GameFan then he left.

Then he started.. GamersRepublic then he trash it and started Play.

I swear what a douchbag i thought, GamersRepublic was good enough

Here's a great article on how awesome Dave Halverson is.

Some of those qoutes are awesome, I wish there was a site dedicated to all of that guy's super ridiculous BS. One of those Gamefan guys, I think his name was Shidoshi, used to post on usenet all the time and once in a while he'd let fly some dirt on what a shithead Halverson was. I just remember shidoshi always mentioning how Halverson would slap his name on other people's reviews and edit other people's reviews so they matched his opinion, it was pretty hilarious.
