The internet is slowly but surely squeezing the life out of the printed word, but there is something uniquely satisfying about getting a fresh new magazine in your mailbox every month. Here, in no particular order, are our picks for the top magazines that cover the Xbox.
1. Electronic Gaming Monthly
EGM is the most respected videogame magazine available right now. Nice reviews and they even manage to break some news before anyone else.
2. GamePro
Not quite as respected as EGM (not a cheap shot, its the truth), GamePro still manages to have a ton of readers each month. The main attraction here is that GamePro usually reviews games well before anyone else.3. Game Informer
Game Informer is GameStop's pet magazine, but in spite of the massive corporate influence they are still unbiased and honest in their reviews. GI has a nice clean format that is easy on the eyes and the content, particularly the reviews, previews, and features, is always well written.4. Tips & Tricks
Tips & Tricks focuses mostly on walkthroughs and cheat codes, but they also have sections every month that cover previews, import gaming, and game collecting.5. Official Xbox Magazine
The Official Xbox Magazine has one huge advantage over pretty much everyone else because it offers a demo disk every month filled with demos, trailers, interviews, and more for Xbox and Xbox 360. The magazine itself isn't afraid to show a fanboyish bias (as you should expect from an Official Xbox Magazine) but it is pretty good overall.
