How did this all happen? After first touching base with our team and ensuring our interest, the team at Gunzilla Games secured the rights to Game Informer. From the start, the new owners insisted on the idea of Game Informer remaining an independent editorial outlet; they felt just as strongly as our team did that the only path forward was with an editorial group that made 100 percent of the decisions around what we cover and how we do so, without any influence from them or anyone else.

Game Informer now operates under an entity called Game Informer Inc., and our intent is to continue to focus on highlighting the coolest games, celebrating the history and legacy of the gaming industry, and shining a spotlight on the creators and players who are charting its future. I am deeply grateful for the trust and enthusiasm from the team at Gunzilla Games; they see the same potential in Game Informer as our team does, and their encouragement to do so ethically and free of outside pressure is laudable.

This got me thinking about Computer Gaming World and how, even if they came back, it probably wouldn't be the same since they likely would not have any of the same reviewers, editors, etc.

Used to love CGW. One of the few review publications I've ever read that actually managed to be objective and not just be based on subjective feelings. Like, I remember one for an RTS and the review author opened by stating they are not personally a fan of RTS games and yet still gave the game a fair (and high scoring) review for its presentation, systems, lack of interfering bugs, etc.
