Most respected VG publication?

I subscribe to Hardcore Gamer, and just got a letter from them on Christmas Eve informing me that they are going to a quarterly format. I am officially bummed out.

For the record, I much prefer magazines to websites. I also prefer strategy guides to GameFAQs. You know.

I think game magazines are basically all headed for the shredder. If EGM can't make it and must dump its content online and GI is working on the old Life magazine model where they give away most of their subs in order to attract advertising, I can't imagine any game magazine thriving.

What's your opinion on Hardcore Gamer Magazine? They launched just a couple years ago.
