5.0 out of 5 stars Mature gamers rejoice!, September 28, 2004
I've been playing video games since my Atari 2600 (and my lucky neighbors CalicoVision) and I'm happy to say that someone who grew up around the same time decided to start a magazine. At Play they go out of their way to show games that they think are great but that are never going to get any press anywhere else. Also, since the mid-1990's I've been into anime but have only been able to go by word of mouth or more recently by what I see on TV (thank you anime and cartoon network). Now I have play to read, as it has extensive, 20-30 pages of quality anime reviews.

The reviewers are more than competent and may actually posses brains, unlike the reviewers in most other game magazines. They realize that their reader is not only the thirteen year old Grand-Theft, Tony Hawk player but also people like me who need humor and intelligence in my reading material.

Finally, the quality of printing and lamination on the pages will make you want to keep each one forever and I have reread and consulted past issues over and over.

Thank you Play for giving me something other than Bills to pull out of my mail box.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best gamer magazine out there. , May 7, 2007
Best unbiased game magazine around. With a hint of Jap Anime, its a brilliantly vibrant magazine. Great reviews of games and previews of new games. I prefer this over EGM, PCG, all the big name magazines.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the love of the game, October 22, 2005
Play magazine is consistently one of the best, if not the best, in its field. Well produced and always well written, it covers gaming and Anime as serious art with the respect they deserve.
