[Wario64]

I was entering this thread, thinking it was another Halo 2 thread. Glad I'm wrong. Yes, best ever

 

[chespace]

Hell Yeah!!!! Bring it on!! ONe of the best games this generation.

And you know this... how?

 

[Soul4ger]

Wow, I want that issue. Someone from the UK wanna buy me one and send it?

 

[fennec fox]

Sorry, it's actually

 

[belgurdo]

That Gamer's Republic cover with Final Fantasy VIII and a really bright backdrop of Balamb Garden on it.

That mag reeked of Gamefan, but damned if they didn't make some dynamite covers

Well that was a very stupid thing to say.

 

[Bluemercury]

The old turok2 one beats this one easly........

 

[Black_Mamba]

Sorry, it's actually

LMAO. This one's hard to beat.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Wanda=ICO2 now? and where can you get Edge? Is it a euro mag?

 

[XMonkey]

 

[MassiveAttack]

It's a UK mag. To the best of my knowledge, there are absolutely no news stands in the US that carry it.

Or at least not in NYC.

There's not one international bookstore in NYC that carries Edge? I doubt that! SF has a couple.

Nintendo Power with Simon's Quest on the cover.

 

[jett]

Nintendo Power with Simon's Quest on the cover.

This had me thinking...Nintendo Power used to have really cool covers back in the day.

Heh, I got that issue...isn't that like the 2nd issue?

 

[sc0la]

I liked the recent GMR pop art covers a lot.

 

[B E N K E]

Why do they call it Ico 2?

This is the cover for our current issue...

 

[wipeout364]

And you know this... how?

I was referring to ICO, But even so I guess its not cool to be excited about a game.

Yeah, I had your magazine cover in mind when I posted it. It looks too good for a games magazine.

As you posted it, I'd like to ask: does it sell well? I mean, does the average scandinavian reader has this kind of sofistication, or can he recognize the appeal of such a sleek design? Or you're just aiming for a niche thing?

Naw it just has to be either Halo, Zelda, GTA, GT or FF then you can blindly claim how great the game will be even if your basis for it is just hearing it's name.

 

[Culex]

All hail Eternal Champions!

 

[TekunoRobby]

AHH GODDAMNIT ICO 2.

The Castlevania II one is badass, I loved how it gave children nightmares all the more.

Amano's work makes anything absolutely beautiful, even EGM.

Well, it looks like it's free, so as long as it's eye-catching, anything goes, I bet

Yeah, his work even makes Nomura's character designs beautiful.

As fennec put it... We're free so we don't care A couple of years ago we did a cover that was all yellow with Clank in the corner.

However, if I'm not mistaking retro issues of Edge have been selling really well and I know a few other example were retro sells issues.

 

[Miburou]

Is that the November issue of Edge? I just bought the October one a week or so ago. I guess it's going to take a couple of weeks until I can find here in Montreal.

 

[TekunoRobby]

What are you talking about that cover is absolutely great. Hell for being free you put to shame a lot of the commercially available magazines.

 

[Culex]

Is it my imagination or is the GC not listed as covered systems on the cover of that EDGE pic?

 

[El Papa]

I think it's hiding behind the giant.

 

[B E N K E]

tekuno: What I meant was that we don't necessarilly need recognition for the cover. Other magazines put something that will sell copies on the cover. We have a bit more freedom. As far as art direction goes, our editor-in-chief was just nominated for art director of the year in Sweden along with a couple of lifestyle magazines (Café, Plaza). A rare honour for a gaming magazine indeed.

OHHH I see, sorry I thought you were being modest. Now I understand, thanks to financial freedom you have complete control over what goes on the cover. Well for what it's worth I much prefer your magazine's style over mostly all commercially available videogame magazines. You guys deserve that nomination!

 

[olimario]

Is this just the cover or is the magazine out?
If it is out, is it okay to post scans?
If not, everyone knows where MinAr's forum is, right?

 

[Laurent]

All hail Eternal Champions!

Actually... I bought that edition... ;_;

GAF, where excitement comes to die.

Oh, and that cover rocks.

Try Gamefaqs.

 

[Vibri]

Damn that is beaauuuuutiful.

 

[Flynn]

Sorry, it's actually

Conjures memories of Star Frontiers and Gamma World.

 

[miyuru]

I tried to look as queer as Tidus.

...

Or, I'm just really tired.

 

[MarkMacD]

Speedy Gonzales?!? SOLD!!

 

[hirokazu]

thought this thread was about the best magazine covers? =/

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I'm going to have to go with Yoshitaka Amano. (That or something with boobies)

 

[Jason]

If anyone wants that EGM with the Amano cover (and lives in Toronto) you can grab a sealed copy for a buck at Game Centre (Yonge/Bloor).

How come they're even selling them? Did they order a huge load of that issue when it came out?

 

[Jason]

It was in the junk-we-want-to-get-rid-of-box. I was thinking of buying it but I already have one.

You're that guy I saw looking in the box! :lol

 

[sc0la]

Here is my favorite fake mag cover.

 

[mightynine]

Heh, EGM2. Boy, that idea flopped hard.

 

[SteveMeister]

I'm kinda partial to this one:
