The Player Magazine

Editorial Musings
As I sit in my warm office, watching the rain pelt down outside (in July, readers), I think back to December, and my first days as a writer on Play.d magazine.

At the time, Play.d was little more than a small magazine run by a couple of guys who had a passion. It was gorgeous, but read like your mother-in-law.

Skip forward eight months, and what we have is a veritable contender. We’ve found that space that I was so interested in when I first joined, and kept pressuring the team to push for. We’ve added staff that fit the ideal, and fucked around with aesthetics until they work.

Welcome to The Player: Issue 8.

We welcome reviews and articles that describe the players’ opinion of the game, and not the actual game itself. We no longer need to know how many particular tracks a racing game has, or the number of characters an RPG wants to bug you with. These are merely facts of a game. We want to give you an open opinion about games that we give a shit about.

We’ve done it…at last.

Being able to tackle my Forza and Odin Sphere reviews in such a way has made me immensely proud of where we are right now.

I cant wait to hear you guys tell me how much you love it!
