Playground Gaming Magazine

Browsing through a copy of this new pinoy gaming magazine called Playground thanks to GM Tristan. Looks like Game! magazine finally has some competition.

Impressions about the Maiden issue of Playground by publisher October Eighty:

Their editorial Box looks familiar with old friends manning some of the posts.
Cover fails miserably, so bleak and boring
I like the thickness and size
Layout is horrible, reminds me of a PDF download. only those have flash animations built in
Console gaming is well represented, but i’d still rather get my updated news via online sources
Quite a bit of advertisers sprinkled throughout
No strategy guide of any kind, mostly opinions

Oh and get a website, guys…lol

Ey Chief!

Thanks for the link love. Btw, I have an article included in the cover story. So buy a copy now and read it.

I just got a copy of Playground Magazine yesterday, and boy these copies are running out fast!

I think the concept of the cover (and actually the magazine itself) is a new twist to what we see in magazines today which are all mediocre. I think the idea of seeing custom art is neat. In my opinion, the layout works just fine.

Pretty impressive for a maiden issue. I’m sure it’ll only get better.
