They were in my mailbox when I got back from PAX! Super exited, these things are awesomely slick. I can't wait for future issues! :D

EDIT: Although as I read through the first one, I do notice a lot of grammatical errors. It doesn't ruin it for me or anything, but sentences like the following kinda make me cringe:

"This book would not have been able to make the leap from vision to reality without the amazing dedication, support, and creative passion, or many countless people, who's have each given a little bit of their hearts to this project."

Sorry, we are improving! We now have an english degree qualified proof reader involved who is going over everything with an even finer tooth comb :oops:

That's good to hear ;) I adore the visual design and the passion and the ideas, it just needs some polish haha

These two magazines are lasting me so much longer than I expected, too- they looked normal sized to me and then I realized as I was going through them... NO ADVERTISEMENTS! Oh god it's so nice to read a publication with no ads.

One thing we want to get away from is adverts, the closest we might ever come is an indepth interview with some retro related business but it will always be there to inform, not make money for us!

Just added the 4th issue of Retrocade magazine to U-Publish. Packed full of content with a rather in depth look at sex in video games!

Some news! Work on PN3 is forging ahead and we have around 80 pages finished so far so expect a release soon!

David Marsh of Shadowgate fame talks to us, a look at the GBA unreleased game Spiralstone and a lengthy chat with Stephen Hornback responsible for the likes of Duke Nukem/Alice and a pretty in-depth look at Myth (one of my all time favs as a kid for the Speccy).

More interviews, improvements to designs and even more writers are joining the team. Really proud with what we have managed to achieve so far and looking forward to hearing what people thing.

As PN3 comes round seriously considering stopping the print runs for older issues, it costs a lot of money to get these done guys and it always has to be in bulk. So there's a good chance that once the older issues have sold out there won't be reprints so grab em while you can.

Some previews of pages to follow, still in the design page but should give you an idea of what to expect :D
