Consistently excellent. The art is varied and gorgeous. The writing is often thought provoking. I particularly liked the story on collecting. Can’t wait for the next edition.

Very interesting articles about all aspects of video games. There are interviews with directors, artists, writers, and many other people that worked on Portal 2. It’s great to peek into how one of the most influential game came to life, even though I never had the chance to play it. It also includes players’ experiences with different games, history of some weird gadgets, and other less known areas of video games but still full of enthusiastic fans. I’ll definitely read more issues and other similar stuff covering video games!
