The Future is Now

ECM · Mar 9, 2001

Now that I've sucked in all you SNK acolytes with a semi-misleading topic

I just want to let the former fans of GameFan magazine (closet and overt) know that our new venture is starting to roll, officially, as of today.

There should be a press release up at www.gamegomagazine.com later today. And yes, there will be Neo coverage, including what I'd imagine to be the best coverage of Sengoku 2K1 you'll find with coverage of classic Neo titles as well.

Stay tuned to the site for more,
ECM

“SNK Acolyte”, that could be a new rank title.

Looking forward to reading the Sengoku 3 review in your upcoming magazine. Thanks for supporting the neo, and it’s great to have a Hollywood celebrity frequent here.

ECM, Thank God your getting back in the swing of things. I thought we were all condemed to reading EGM and the other bias Mags forever. I wish you the best of luck and i will support your new venture. Please also cover the old titles of years gone by (impots inc.), cause you did it like no other mag could ever do.

Its encouraging to hear that you have a new venture coming soon, ECM. I have to admit that I considered your reviews in Gamefan to be masterpieces, very eloquently written and perfectly capturing my feelings on many different games. I and many others will be looking forward to whatever you have in store for the future . . .

Master Terry Bogard · Mar 9, 2001

Great. I considered Gamefan and Game Informer (before it was absorbed) to be one of the most hard core magazines around. Looking forward to supporting your new project.

HEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!

Congrats ECM --
hope you and your partners can continue the same high quality you displayed with GameFan. I fully agree with Chimpmeister - your reviews were scary. Many times I read them after I had played a game and I felt someone was reading my mind -- many of the same sensations and feelings I had were expressed in you reviews and I really came to trust them. Good luck dude!

THIS IS GREAT NEWS you guys were the only ones who could give those bad final fantasy games the scores they deserved and i loved your neo COVERAGE YOU GOT MY SUPPORT!

dragynchylde · Mar 10, 2001

I can't wait. Since gamefan closed it's doors I haven't bought a single game mag. None of them are worth my time or money.

DigiPunk · Mar 10, 2001

Awesome news ECM. I especially loved the graveyard sections in every issue of Gamefan.

Nothing, however, could top

"Tales of the Hardcore"

Keep it up!

Am I the only one here that thinks Gamefan was one lousy mag? It might be an American thing, but I don't like paying for a mag that's 150 pages, of which 70 are advertisement for EA-sports games. (All American football and baseball;2 sports the world could do without.)
The rating system sucked major ass; how th ehell can you give a game a rating out of 5 possible ratings?That's generalizing. Oh, the faces along with the ratings where lame as hell. The faces that came along with the grades where clearly aimed at 5-6 year olds; how could you possibly use those in a magazine and expect people to take the reviews seriously? And what was up with those names? Were those a sorry attempt at being funny? We all know that Americans have a bad sense of humour ("The Waterboy",anyone?), and that attempts at humour are best left to the English.

Is there nothing good in the mag at all (IMO)?Yes; you had coverage of the Neo. That alone made me buy several Gamefans. If you could just take that piece of Gamefan and transplant it into something that has no resemblance to the magazine, that would be awesome.

Neo rules,but my Ducati 750S goes faster!

BioMotor_Unitron · Mar 11, 2001

What the hell are you talking about? GameFan rates on a 1-100 scale, as in per cent.

charles · Mar 11, 2001

Hey bad mofo.... you sure you weren't reading GamePro? I believe they rated on a 1-5 scale with faces as grades.

Any GameFan reader knows they rate in 1-100 percentages.

Robi15 · Mar 11, 2001

Damn, gould somebody explain me this? I mean, I recieved GameFan almost every moth until recently. Are they shot down? Why? I mean, the magazine must have been one of the best in us. Am I wrong? Anyhow, I liked the format and the reviews where fantastic. I think Game Fan still ows me some issues. I had just renewd my one year subscription....

------------------

MVS all the way!

Bad Mofo · Mar 11, 2001

MAN, do I feel stupid. Yes, I guess it must have been GamePro that I mean. I guess I owe GameFan an apology!

Same here. I had just recently paid for the next couple of years' subscription, then a few months later, I heard they had gone belly-up.

My money is probably lost to the ether, but damn, I do not care as long as we get a real game magazine again printed in the english language.
