First Nintendo Power, now this. I wonder how much longer OXM has?

That's a shame, though, after about 2008 they really started to go down hill. I have fond memories of them from the PS3 launch though.

Oh well.

Nintendo Gamer is another magazine that shutdown this year. I guess we'll have to get our news from various websites instead.

I find that thought very depressing.

FWIW. the three gaming magazines shut down recently (GamePro, NP, POM) were all published by the same company. Magazines not owned by them are (hopefully) safer.

Yup. It's not like most of us haven't seen it coming for years now.

I'm sure there will be a few new printed magazines available once the PS4 and new Xbox hit the shelves...
