Massive Gamer Magazine Unleashes First Issue

 

New Monthly Periodical Exclusively Covers Massively Multiplayer Online PC

Games

 

ST LOUIS, MO -- July 22nd, 2008 - A seismic shock has impacted the world of

editorial media covering interactive entertainment. Massive Gamer, Inc. is

proud to announce the launch of Massive Gamer magazine, a monthly print

publication focusing exclusively on massively multiplayer games for the PC.

As the multi-billion massively multiplayer (MMOG) business continues to grow

and become a part of mainstream popular entertainment, Massive Gamer aims to

reflect the breadth and depth of the MMOG development, business and culture

as no other website and print publication has ever done before.

 

The first issue of Massive Gamer magazine (August 2008) is available at

newsstands for the cover price of $6.99, and online for subscription at the

low introductory rate of $24.99.

 

Weighing in at 88 pages, the first issue of Massive Gamer magazine

highlights Funcom's popular Age of Conan MMOG on the cover, and features

articles delving into Cryptic Studio's Champions Online, Turbine Inc's. Lord

of the Rings: Mines of Moria expansion, EA/Mythic's Warhammer update, and

much more.

 

Regular columns will include letters from the editor, staff editorials, a

calendar of upcoming game releases and industry events, as well as MMOG

launches, guild features, serialized fiction, news from the business world,

and more.

 

"Massive Gamer addresses a unique void in the print media space, when it

comes to editorially covering massively multiplayer online games and virtual

worlds. MMOG players have their own jargon, their own community, and their

own informational needs that a one-size-fits-all publication cannot

completely fill nor understand," says Jodie McIntyre, CEO and Founder of

Massive Gamer, Inc. "This publication will also be unique because we will

look at more than the largest and most popular MMOGs. The MMOG development

community is filled with innovators and entrepreneurs from around the world

- and we cannot wait to share many of their stories with our audience."

 

Massive Gamer magazine will be accompanied by a website launch, featuring

fresh MMOG industry news and community feedback. The website and information

about the magazine can be found at http://www.massivegamer.com. A bi-weekly

newsletter will offer opt-in subscribers the chance to have the latest

happenings in the world of MMOGs and Massive Gamer delivered to their e-mail

inboxes.
