Magazine may be great... subscription service is NOT
The info on this product says: Availability: The first issue should arrive in 6-10 weeks. When I hadn't received the magazine in over 8 weeks I spent 15 minutes on the phone snaking my way to a person who could help only to be told their system had crashed moments before I called and they could NOT help me. I'd have to call back later. What...

Game business best practice magazine,
By Ben Liong (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Game Developer (Magazine)
This is the only magazine to my knowledge that deals with business practices as well as technical topics of game creation. GDM has postmortem on recent successful games, summarizing how these games were made, what the creators did right and what they could have done better. They also has columns devoted to Project Management, Game design, Graphics technique, Product reviews and trend analysis. All in all this is a must have if you're in the game industry or, like myself, dream of being in the game creation business. Most of the time these articles do not go into a lot of details because of length constrain. That might be the only drawback.

This is one of those industry trade journals that they "charge" for but if you are in the business send for free. Visit their site and see if you qualify before you pay for a subscription.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Game Developer (Magazine)
The info on this product says: Availability: The first issue should arrive in 6-10 weeks.
When I hadn't received the magazine in over 8 weeks I spent 15 minutes on the phone snaking my way to a person who could help only to be told their system had crashed moments before I called and they could NOT help me. I'd have to call back later. What they did tell me was it takes 3 MONTHS to process subscriptions when ordered through Amazon. This was a Christmas gift and I'm not happy right now. If you want this magazine (and my game developer son says it's good) go order it from Game Developer directly. |
