EGM relaunches with April issue, explains digital content
by Stroybeans on Dec.21, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Reviews, Video Games
EGM Media this morning announced the distribution of its upcoming magazine via an “agreement” with Time/Warner Retail Sales and Marketing (former EGM/Ziff Davis Media distributor), alongside intentions to release its first issue with an April cover. Though no specific date was given other than “March 2010″ for the newsstand re-launch of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the press release detailed the “weekly interactive version of the magazine,” named “EGMi: The Digital Magazine” (rolls right off the tongue!). Accessed by a “special code” included with each issue, the digital extension of the magazine will be made up of “exclusive article extensions and original content.” Also of note, game previews and reviews will make up at least part of the premiere issue, with notorious rumor-monger Quartermann, ex-EIC Dan “Shoe” Hsu (as previously announced ), and prankster Sean “Seanbaby” Reiley all contributing content as well. Publisher and prez of EGM Media, Steve Harris, claimed the digital content “is complementary to the print magazine” and gives editors “a way to communicate with our readers and update the print product in an ongoing manner.” We’ll see how his claims play out when the magazine arrives this March.

Ex-EGMers Dan Hsu and Demian Linn (re)join EGM Now
by striwic on Dec.02, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Reviews, Video Games
The new Electronic Gaming Monthly has brought back Dan “Shoe” Hsu and Demian Linn to the publication in some capacity. Hsu, the former editor-in-chief of EGM, who left his role of editorial director at 1UP before the great UGO cataclysm and started Bitmob earlier this year, will assist in generating content for the revamped publication. Linn, another co-founder of Bitmob and the former reviews editor at EGM and executive producer at GameVideos, will assist in “overseeing the reporting and writing of news and other content for EGM’s network of properties.” Hsu and Linn will not leave their roles at Bitmob for EGM and, as far as we can tell, neither will have a designated editorial role at the new publication. It appears that for the time, Bitmob will merely assist in producing content for EGM.

Steve Harris hints at the future of the reborn EGM
by shapework on Jul.05, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Video Games
When Electronic Gaming Monthly closed its doors back in January , it not only left behind an issue that never got published but also a brand that gamers everywhere easily recognized. The magazine’s original founder, Steve Harris, recently bought back the rights to the magazine (as well as online rights), and this week he spoke with Publishing Executive to detail a bit of his plans for his new venture. “The new Electronic Gaming Monthly will let you take your magazine and its content from print to computer to wireless devices — even to your television,” he says in the piece, continuing, “Content will be delivered via a digital device included with each issue.” He doesn’t go on to explain whether he means a thumb drive or a CD or what, but we’re just as curious as you are to know more about the rebirth of a magazine we grew up reading — and hated after hours spent trying to find Sheng Long . Curse you, early-to-mid-90s game magazine editors! [Via Bitmob ] Steve Harris hints at the future of the reborn EGM originally appeared on Joystiq on Sun, 05 Jul 2009 15:00:00 EST.

iPhone It In: The Sims 3
by prelterce on Jun.22, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Video Games, iPhone
I’m not going to sit here and act like I’m not embarrassed by how enthralled I am with the downsized version of The Sims 3 that EA released for the iPhone. But the fact remains: I’m hooked, and I figure if I pass the addiction on to you, I won’t seem like such an oddball. I haven’t played the new Sims release, so I don’t really have that as a frame of reference. What I do know is that all the tropes of the series seem to be here: Create a person, meet their needs and help them get a family, career, the whole bit.

EGM sold to original founder, resumes publication this year
by delofooma on May.29, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Video Games
Electronic Gaming Monthly, which died when UGO bought out the 1UP brand in January, is being resurrected by its original founder, Steve Harris. Harris, who started EGM in 1989, has regained the print and online publishing rights from Ziff Davis Media as part of an undisclosed agreement. Harris intends to relaunch the magazine in the second half of 2009 and says he has “exciting plans for the evolution of what will once again be a leading independent voice for the gaming community.” There’s no word yet on whether ex-EGM staff will be making a return to the magazine, or if Harris is in talks with UGO to re-establish a partnership with 1UP, but more details are due to be revealed during E3 next week. We guess in this case print really isn’t dead

Hands-on: Mini Ninjas (Xbox 360)

click to enlarge Once the most feared warriors in all Japan, Ninjas have been made incredibly cute and cuddly just by shrinking them down . Yes folks, it’s Mini Ninjas . Tiny little ninjas that can weave magic spells, possess animals and defeat evil. While utterly unlikely to instill fear into the hearts of rival feudal lords, they sure do make an adorable subject for a game. We’ve finally gotten to play the game, which has been veiled in shadowy secrecy since its January announcement
