Electronic Gaming Monthly
Electronic Gaming Monthly (often abreviated to EGM) is a U.S.-based video game magazine published by Ziff-Davis that releases 13 issues a year. It concentrates on news regarding current video game consoles (including, at the moment, the Nintendo Gamecube, Microsoft Xbox and Sony Playstation 2 as well as portable systems, such as the Nintendo Game Boy Advance), in addition to reviews and previews for the games released on these consoles. Computer games are occasionally mentioned, and cell phone games see a bit of coverage as well. Notable writers for the magazine, past and present, include Seanbaby, Quartermann, and Sushi-X, a pseudonym which may or may not have been used by several people through the years. As journalism credentials go, EGM is one of the more respected video game news magazines. They are also host to the Hsu and Chan series of comics.
