Free Hardcore Gamer Mag Downloads

[JoNJoN]

For those of you like me that grew up adoring Diehard Gamefan magazine. The guy that created went on way later to create a magazine called Hardcoure Gamer. Gamestop was selling it for awhile but it disappeared and it seems that it is not being published anymore. It is now strictly an online magazine that is made quarterly now. However, there were about 30 or s magazines that were published and these are all available now to download for FREE. So go grab them up while you can and enjoy

Last I heard they were going to publish quarterly, which to me meant the magazine would soon be dead. It's NEVER a good sign when a magazine publishes less frequently. A subscription was still $25/year, but instead of 12 issues, you got 4. And the first issue was a few pages smaller than the monthly issues. I don't even think the site will last all that long if they stopped putting out a print magazine. There are lots of bigname sites, and I don't think this one can compete.

I downloaded all the PDF issues at the start of the year and read them all. The layout was fantastic, and some of their features and articles were great, but there was something about it that didn't make the magazine as exciting as it should have been. The layout and page designs reminded me of the good old days of GamePro and to a lessr extent EGM.
