09 Dec 08 How Can You Keep on Top of Gaming News?
How Can You Keep on Top of Gaming News?
By Kristi Ambrose
The gaming industry in general is an immense industry the consumes as much space online and offline as any other form of news of its kind. In fact, you could take a stroll down any store in any city in any state and you will surely see at least 5 different gaming magazines, and this even includes in the odd store you wouldn’t expect to find them in like Eckerd and Rite Aid! Regardless of your skill level you can easily take advantage of this coverage and use what you learn to improve on game play, equipment, knowledge and games.
If you really want to get a feel for how big the gaming industry is; go to your local game store like Game Stop or EBGames, these two popular gaming stores along regularly carry magazines relevant to anything that has to do with gaming. If your looking for a good magazine that has informative news you are going to want to take a look at something like The Game Informer which provides a one to two inch thick critique of the newest stuff out there. Inside this resource, you will find commentary on the Wii, EA games, the PS3, the Xbox 360, PC games, the PS2, the PSP and the DS system!
Gaming magazines are really nice because it’s a no holds barred deal for whets hot and what’s not. You want a truthful outlook or review on a gaming console or game? Buy a magazine with reviews. The writers are really unbiased and don’t base their own opinions on just what they think about the game, but have also done extensive research and have even gone as far as putting up polls in order to find out some of the resulting outcomes for other people’s opinions as well. Of course magazines are the best outlet, however, you can also just as easily go on to gaming news sites. I think one of the most popular sites available today is Game Spot which has every game for every console for every year you could ever imagine!
Be careful though because no matter how “cool” these pieces of content may seem, sometimes you might find out about stuff you really wish you hadn’t, like sneak peaks into a game, gaming leakage, videos that no one has seen yet and all kinds of other stuff! I have been to forums before and had this stuff happen and it seriously sucks especially when you are really into a game like Halo, Need For Speed or one of the Tom Clancy games! Just be sure you don’t ruin the excitement for yourself, there’s nothing worse than someone telling you a “secret” that you weren’t supposed to find out about yet. Its like missing the football game and DVRing it because you had to work late and your buddies breaking the news to you about the winning touchdown from the other team. It SUCKS!
