Video Game Magazines, in Print, in America, in 2015

[Nz17]

Bit off-topic I know as you're asking specifically for American mags, but I can assure you RG's still going strong.

Yeah, if you are looking to the UK, Europe, the Middle East, or India, there are still a ton of quality, printed videogame periodicals left.

WCP: Ray Barnholt announced that the January 2015 issue of Scroll was the last one there was ever going to be. So sorry to say, but Scroll is out-of-print.

The 1 2 P: EGM and EGMi appear to be no longer be publishing new issues. There haven't been any printed issues of EGM since 2012, and EGMi seems to be rerunning old issues as "new" issues. It was both funny and sad at the same time to see an issue from earlier this year, 2015, where the cover touted it as being the "2014 preview issue." Poor, poor EGM.

And as far as OXM (US) is concerned... well, it is probably a bad sign when it doesn't have its own Web site anymore, and the publisher (the ironically named Future) is shedding employees and publications left and right. Well, at least Future is doing well in the UK, right?

BlastProcessing402: Game Informer is the best-selling videogame magazine in America. I see it almost every time I'm in a GameStop. They keep the Game Informer issues on the counter so that they can give the current issue to anyone that signs up for a GameStop PowerUp Rewards Pro membership which includes the mag, as the stores and the magazine are both owned by the same corporation.
