GamesMaster

GamesMaster fue una revista mensual multiformato de computadoras y videojuegos publicada por Future plc en el Reino Unido. A partir de 2012, fue la revista de videojuegos multiformato de mayor venta en el Reino Unido, superando en ventas a su publicación asociada Edge. Junto con la revista asociada GamesTM, dejó de imprimirse en noviembre de 2018. Originalmente se lanzó para complementar el programa de televisión GamesMaster. Historia The magazine was launched in January 1993, to complement the television show of the same name. While the show later ceased broadcasting, the magazine continued, outlasting the show by 20 years. The magazine published a number of reviews and previews of games; however this covered only half of the magazine as it also included latest gaming news, posters, letters from readers and monthly competitions. The popularity of the magazine grew and game producers sought to achieve the elusive GamesMaster “Gold Award” for a reference on their package. The Gold Award was awarded to games that scored 90% or higher. GamesMaster Philippines The Philippine publishing house Summit Media started a local edition of GamesMaster in September 2003. Each issue was initially priced at PhP95.00 (around US$2.06 or £1.27 as of December 2009), but later issues were priced at PhP100 (around US$2.17 or £1.34 as of December 2009). The edition quickly gained popularity with the local community because of its affordable price and extensive coverage of the Filipino gaming scene. GamesMaster Philippines ceased publication in September 2006 due to a corporate restructuring. Games and tech journalist Ed Geronia became the magazine's Editor-in-Chief with Jaykee Evangelista as its art director.
