Guest Karnage Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Does anyone remember reading Incite Gaming? It was actually a decent game magazine and always had those tie-ins with WWF which was cool also. I remember only six issues coming out before the magazine dissapeared.
Guest Brush with Greatness Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Yeah, I thought Incite was a great magazine. In fact, I'd call it the best gaming magazine. It's funny, it had a similar fate to Gear, another magazine that was the best of its breed (yes, better than Maxim, FHM, etc).
Guest William E Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Yeah, I remember Incite. I remember buying the issue that had the Rock on it. It was a pretty good gaming mag. I lked the way they rated games by comparing it to other games of the same genre.
Guest Eagan469 Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Incite Gaming was great. It was probably the most down to earth gaming mag ever. Cheap as hell too (like 2.99 an issue).
Guest starvenger Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Good magazine, but I guess the large glut of gaming mags killed their sales.
DrVenkman PhD Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Too trendy in my veiw. It's strange for a video game magazine to feature celebrities on the cover instead of actual game characters, but it was an interesting way of doing things. I bought it when it was like $2 Canadian when it started, but didn't like it enough to justify buying it when it became a full price mag. It seems I wasn't the only one.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I was pissed when it got cancelled. I got a subscription after the first magazine came out. The first mag was the best of the whole run. I also bought the PC Mag with the disc, but I didn't like the PC version as much because Im not really that big of a PC gamer. And although the lifesize Lara Croft Poster rules, It still lies on top of the pile of (Actually there were 9 issues of incite before it quit) magazines unceremoniously folded up. After Incite folded up I stopped getting mags alltogether because of the internet and the fact that my favorite mags always got cancelled shortly after I put a subscirption in (See Game Players/Ultra Game Players, which in my opinion, was and probably still is the greatest video game magazine ever. They did a Swimsuit Issue as the finale which was stupid and changed over to some crap called Game Buyer which was cool at first but suffered the same fate as Incite: A short run and then caput. Memories of Bill Donohue, Frank and Roger..
Red Baron Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I still have two of those magazines from 2001. Great IMO
Cavi Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I'm still waiting for the four mega secret uber hidden characters in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 they said existed...
Eclipse Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 That magazine was pretty awesome. I have a couple of issues of it.....but then it faded away.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I still have two of those magazines from 2001. Great IMO Ha! Got you beat! I have all 9 issues of Incite plus the 4 issue run of Game Buyer.
Karnage Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 There were 9 issues? It felt like only 6 were made.
art_vandelay Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 I have the issue with the Scotty 2 Hotty interview!
DerangedHermit Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 (edited) Game Players/Ultra Game Players, which in my opinion, was and probably still is the greatest video game magazine ever. Damn right. /huge Roger Burchill/Mike Salmon/Bill Donohue/Patrick Baggata fan //thank you Google ///uhhh....hail Gazuga? Edited August 9, 2003 by DerangedHermit
DrVenkman PhD Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 The "Ultra" era kinda killed Game Players for me. Still a good mag though. Speaking of Mike, did anyone read PCXL? I'm not even into PC games and I read it monthly.
