5.0 out of 5 stars The Ideal Magazine for Gamers, February 1, 2004

By	MZ (Novinger, MO United States) - See all my reviews

If you like board games, word games, logic games, video games--any games--this is the magazine for you. A typical issue of Games magazine contains interesting articles on a variety of subjects--from hobbies like card tricks to online gaming communities; unique and colorful puzzles; and "ordinary" puzzles put together with a twist.

From crosswords to crostics to word finds to logic puzzles and teasers, whatever tips your hat, you will likely find it here. In addition, they print a number of Conceptis Paint by Number puzzles in each edition, a type of language-independent picture-forming logic puzzle that is a growing trend: each numbered puzzle turns into a pixel picture when completed.

Even the advertisements in this magazine are interesting. While you are hunting for the fictional ad, you will come across tournaments, board games, and websites that you would never have heard about anywhere else.

This magazine is highly recommended for most any age and type of puzzler. I've been receiving it for years and have never been disappointed.

Side Note: If you find a mistake or a unique answer to a puzzle, Games Magazine will send the first such finder a finder's fee: a Games Magazine t-shirt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great magazine for puzzle-lovers!, July 17, 2003

By	K. Fisher "(Ventura teacher and mom)" (Ventura, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been a fan of GAMES magazine for many years! My favorite section is "Pencilwise" which is crosswords, logic puzzles, word games, and other puzzles. The puzzles come in different levels, with some puzzles geared for kids, some for beginners, and some that are very difficult.

My only complaint is that the magazine is only published 10 times a year.

If you like GAMES, try GAMES World of Puzzles Magazine!

5.0 out of 5 stars GAMES is a GREAT GIFT, November 19, 2001

By	"emacaroni" (lake ariel, pa United States) - See all my reviews

I have been teaching academically gifted students for the past 25 years and GAMES magazine has been a part of my curriculum for awhile. It is never out of date and the crytograms and puzzles are wonderful for left brain / right brain thinking.

GAMES magazine teaches kids to focus and become absorbed in the thinking process. These are learning characteristics which are surprisingly scarce these days, even in very bright students.

GAMES magazine is also balanced between mental gymnastics and humor - it is fun to find the fake ad and enter the contests. It is the only magazine I have ever read in which I even like to read the ads!

It is a thumbs up publication!
