make sure you get a subscription with a disc!, December 11, 2002
If you've got a 'BOX (and why would you be subscribing to this mag if you didn't?) DON'T get the subscription without the disc. somebody got me the subscription from here as a gift, and i have to occaisionaly go out and buy a second copy of the mag just so i can get the disc! (hello, splinter cell demo!) The magazine itself is a wicked great read; all of the editors have distinctly cool personalities and game preferences. In the year that i've been reading, i've gotten to know all of their gaming preferences and feel i can trust their reviews of the games i'm looking for advice on. to sum up my feelings on the magazine: i'm always excited when i get a new one, i always read it from cover to cover, i'm always sad when i finish the last page, i'm always waiting for the next one, and i've never been disappointed.

..., February 5, 2002
I have a subscription to this magazine which comes with the demo disc. The magazine itself is great. Typical of all Imagine publications, there is quite a bit of humor to be found in the mag. The screenshots are clear, the writers are knowledgeable about XBOX technology and the reviews are generally right on. When they rate a game, they aren't afraid to be honest and this has saved me some money from buying games that I THOUGHT looked good, but turned out to be pretty bad. Let's face it, new games are $50 and that's no small sum for anyone. If you own an XBOX or are thinking of buying one, this should be required reading for you.

The Internet and Xbox Live have made this Obsolete!, April 27, 2011
Honestly, I am so glad I only paid $5 for a 1 year subscription, and will NOT be renewing. Why? 1. All game demos can be downloaded from xbox live(Gold or Silver memberships) for free. The ONLY thing occasionally interesting on the disc is the occasional free gamerpic. If this was really to be of value they could throw in a premium theme or avatar gear from time to time...but they haven't yet. 2. Stale articles - by the time I get the magazine, I've already read news online for free from my favoirte gaming websites. Rarely do any print magazines scoop the internet. Unless you like the feel of glossy paper in your hands, I just don't see the value in paying for a gaming magazine anymore. I'm a cheapskate trying to be thrifty in this struggling economy, and I just don't see any value in magazines like this anymore. 3. I will say it is a nifty feature that they keep a full archive of every video game review on the disc they provide every month, but again it is freely available on the internet and easier to find the review for the game of interest online than via the disc. Ok, I know I am not a great writer, but I hope this review is of value to someone. Cheers!
