The Death of an Icon

NextGen Player writes:

"In May of 1989, North American gamers were treated to the first issue of what would be a long legacy for the print gaming publication Electronic Gaming Monthly. For nearly 20 years, EGM endured while other gaming magazines, faced with declining ad revenues and strong online competition, had ceased publication. Perhaps it was the mainstays like Dan "Shoe" Hsu and his insightful reviews or thoughts on the state of the industry, Quartermann's Gossip corner (one of my personal favorites) or the annual April Fools joke. Regardless of what the appeal was, many North American gamers have either read a handful of issues or been a subscriber at one time or another." (Industry, Nintendo DS, PS3, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360)
