Retro Gamer is absolutely worth it, one of the finest publications I've ever read.

I still have all my old ones from when they used to sell it at newsstands and also still have my "101 Awesome Emulators" Cd from the emulation issue they did back in '04!

I still can't believe that when reading that very same issue was when I first learned about the Commdore 64 and Amiga!

Besides that i never read anything on the John, I'm always out of there in under five to seven minutes period.

I too read Retro Gamer. It is awesome although yes, very pricey. But my current obsession while droppin the browns off at the pool is my iPod Touch. Drop 7 is an amazing App Store Game, highly recommend it.

PC Gamer or the Micro Center ad if it came that day. I know I can read all about games before they hit the mag, but i like reading them. I'd rather not read a book in their because a chapter is usually too long. A magazine review or whatnot is just right.
