How is it an outdated view? Most print mags get their "News" online! Don't even get me started about mags like EGM that accually ripp off FAQS and movelists from people at gamefaqs, or others that get their news from sites like The Magic Box and others.
Theres a million game sites on the net to get up to the minute news, game mags are a dinosaur like vehicle to get your news in, it's a month old, half the mag is ads, you have to read reviewers who's opinions are bought by their advertisers.
It's all a joke, I'd be more interested in a game fanzine, than a game mag. Spend your money on mags if you want, i'm just saying I like to skip the middle man, and get my news from the source, unbiased and free, just the way the "Gaming mags" get it before they print it and slap an 8 dollar price tag on it.
