Quote: STUFF MAGAZINE ENTERS THE GAMING ARENA WITH STUFF GAMER
Stuff's Video Game Writer Simon Munk Named Publication's Editor-in-Chief
NEW YORK, NY (July 17, 2003) - Stuff, known for beautiful cover girls and cool, authoritative product reviews, is announcing a special video gaming issue called Stuff Gamer. The new publication from Dennis Publishing will put Stuff's trademark attitude and product expertise into a video game magazine. The Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck will be the exclusive sponsor of this separate video gaming magazine, hitting newsstands this October.
Stuff Gamer is aimed at the millions of guys out there who play games but don't want to wade through pages of technical jargon, cheat codes and overly-detailed articles just to find out what's hot in gaming. The magazine will cut straight to the point-giving hardcore gamers the depth of information they need, with hard-hitting news and a massive, authoritative reviews section, while recreational gamers will get hooked in by the action-packed features and visually appealing, user-friendly design throughout.
Stuff has tapped Simon Munk to serve as Editor-in-Chief of the new publication. Munk was on the original launch team for Maxim in the UK in 1995. "The huge video game industry has outgrown the basement and mall arcades," commented Munk. "And it has outgrown the spotty-nerd profile of existing video game magazines. It's high time for a magazine that doesn't just appeal to the hardcore, but to the vast majority of regular guys who're recreational gamers too."
Munk has been Stuff Magazine's video games writer since 2000 and has worked closely with Stuff's in-house team to develop their video game content. He is also a freelance video game journalist for international media including The Times, England, The Evening Standard, and is a correspondent for the international broadcast TV show Gamer TV. Munk first played video games in the 70s, in the bustling arcades of London's West End and has been an avid gamer ever since.
Stuff is the nation's # 2 men's lifestyle magazine behind Maxim. It is published 12 times per year by Dennis Publishing. Editor-In-Chief: Mike Hammer. General Manager: Mark MacDonald. Stuff's guaranteed rate base for 2003 is 1.2 million. Stuff is nationally distributed by The Curtis Circulation Company. Maxim, Stuff, Blender and The Week are registered trademarks of Felix Dennis.
We'll get another sign that humanity is moronic if this magazine comes anywhere near success... :(

Haha, this part made me laugh: "The Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck will be the exclusive sponsor of this separate video gaming magazine"
Gee, I wonder how unbiased they will be?
Can't say I'm too surprised about this, though. Video games are getting more and more popular by each passing year, so naturally everyone is going to want to cash in on it. Just be happy that they're not going to start making games.

Does anyone remember Incite Magazine, the game mag that always featured covershots (and twenty page interviews) with pro wrestlers that were twice as long as the gaming-related material? It seems as though it's rising from the dead with the intent of being even DUMBER.

:shake:
*sigh*
I hope they'll at least put a warning on the cover.
*WARNING! Purchasing this magazine will cause your IQ to drop by fifteen points!*
Stuff Gamer - Great Rumbler - 18th July 2003
I actually bought a couple of issues of Incite, but I never read them, I just played the demos.
Stuff Gamer - OB1 - 18th July 2003
Yeah I still have some of those shitty Incite issues somewhere in my house. What's not to like about a magazine where we get to see what kind of games Kid Rock likes?? Eh??! EH???!!
*sigh*
Stuff Gamer - Great Rumbler - 18th July 2003
I never read them so I still don't know what kind of games Kid Rock likes.
Stuff Gamer - A Black Falcon - 18th July 2003
I never read Incite. Why would I buy trash like that?
