I'm a subscriber, but I think December's issue was my last for this subscription. Money's tight, so I can't really justify renewing. I'll probably just read it at a store.
I still remember going to my local supermarket and grabbing a copy of the Oblivion cover story of game informer. I was in highschool, and my buddy bought it for me. I still have it in my closet. I look at it every couple of years...its fun to read what Game Informer thought of the game and look back on my own experience after hundreds of hours with Oblivion.
I'm sure this has been asked a million times -- subscribers get the edition early January. Does that mean it will hit shelves in February?
1) There's more information here 2) This place is free (well minus the purchase of a game) 3) Ya'll paraphrase wha'ts in the article. 4) Beth will eventually put up the screenshots that were in the mag 5) I don't get the magazine, and am not that much of a gamer.
No. Lucky me my room mate has a subscription to Game Informer and he never reads them. Beyond that I really don't care much for the whole exclusive thing Beth's doing so even if I wasn't essentially getting a free issue I probably wouldn't buy it out of principle.
