Latest Obsession: Game Developer Magazine

In the past, video game magazines were something I treasured. Unfortunately, it seems that all but the few biggest publications are still around thanks to print media losing a lot of steam. Game Informer, to me, is nothing more than a giant ad with three pages of redeeming content. But what of more industry focused magazines such as Game Developer?

Well, this one also bit the dust recently. But the promised sharing of all back issues has finally happened! Back issues from 1994 all the way until 2013 are available. That’s a serious amount of content to go through and I’m excited to check it out. One of the most interesting features of the magazine was that it was geared for developers so there is a lot of interesting industry and development talk that you don’t usually see otherwise.

If you’re interested in checking out some of the back issues yourself then here is the link to them all. Each issue is a PDF and can be viewed on the site or downloaded to your computer for later reading use. Considering they’re all free, I see little reason to not just download them all! But then again, excess is my middle name.
