General Comments
GamesMaster Computer Game Magazine used to be the best magazine by a mile for multi format games, news and reviews. Until a few years ago when it ditched it's custom brand of adult journalism fused with the relativley adolescent subject of games and re-launched with a hideous CVG style kids image. In one single issue GM went from a magazine that I could read on the bus with pride (complete moderatley used bad language and truly informative, in depth reviews), to something that appeals more to ten year olds who argued about whether crash bandicoot was better than mario 64 (it's not, by the way). I say they bring back the previous editor and team and return to the old style, adult orientated format. All in favour say "aye!." Or perhaps I'm the only one who actually cares!

you're right about the change in style. in honesty it seems to be a trend of the magazine publishers when ever they have a make over to lower the age groups they target. its probably as much a case of where they generate the greatest revenue from advertising, as that older demographics are simply getting games info solely from the internet.
