Internet Gaming Magazine...

Ive had this idea in my head for a bit, and decided to throw out a quick concept image. The plan is to cover a range of games, between me, a friend or two, and a few online contributers. The goal would be to have some classic coverage, some next-gen stuff, and things inbetween or related. I dont have a time period between issues, but I put monthly as a start. All the games would have pictures taken by the person that writes the article, unlike the concept cover that I created.

First off, do you guys see this as being possible? Im not expecting it to be read by millions, but rather a group of people on a few different forums.

Im looking for some constructive ideas on the project as a whole. Not "The title sucks" "Horrible Design", "LMAO you spelt something wrong" or "Good Luck". I did the cover just as a concept, therefore I used pictures not taken by me, headlines off the top of my head, and a very simple idea as so I dont waste hours on something that nobody would be interested in. So basically, Im looking for ideas on what should be covered, how it should be covered, ect. Thanks guys,

Borman

 

I used to like now defunct RetroTime(?)...
He ran it for several years - the last issue if I recall was 80 something...

you may want to dig it up...

 

Borman: good luck other than that it looks good so far, from the concept image

The tittle sucks.

:smt043j/k

anyway, i like the idea, and it would be cool if you could teach the story of video gaming at the same time, splited in parts, each month or two. i'm one of those gamers that think the majority of us (gamers) dshould care more about the past of our hobby. anyway, good luck

 

And change that p fron psp!

seems like another playstationfanboy magazine.

 

The point is, its pixelated, and the new

 

Table of Content Concept (Could be used as a cover though, I really like it lol)

 

Yeah, that P looks very fanboyish, but then again borman has like 10 ps2, so he likes the thing .
