    Play Magazine.... For the few left who actually CARE ABOUT GAMING... - 5 stars
    Play Review
    I've had my subscription for years, and I could not be happier. As a hardcore gamer, I appreciate the efforts made by Dave Halverson and his staff to provide a magazine that shows a TRUE love for the art and lifestyle of videogames.

    Videogames are more than the sum of their parts, and the writers of this magazine are some of the few left on this planet who realize this, and ACT on it. They write with passion and wisdom that is to be treasured, despite the tangled web that is videogame journalism.

    You'd do well to feed off of the enthusiasm that these people have for the world of gaming! Get in on it today!

    Excellent writing, excellent articles.... A true GEM!

    5 stars, 2 thumbs up, HIGHLY recommended!

    One thing to say. - 1 stars

    i have one thing to say about this magazine... They gave Bullet Witch (360) a 9 out of 10. I believe that is all that needs to be said.
    Beware! - 1 stars

    This company is not dependable. I received 2 issues of my 12-month subscription, and have talked to the magazine twice and Amazon three times in the last month about a missing issue. Despite assurances to the contrary, the missing issue has never arrived and now the current issue is also missing. They don't care about the customer. I recommend you consider another magazine.
    Grammar? Who needs it? - 1 stars

    Play magazine is great if:
    1) You have no grasp of the English language
    2) You own a next gen console that is not a Wii.
    3) You have access to Japanese imports and a console on which you can play them.

    Every issue of Play has several serious breaches of grammar and editing. While it is still understandable sometimes, it shows a lack of professional conduct. There, their, and they're are often misused, which drives me insane. Sometimes it is as serious as pages not matching up or an aritcle being cut off in the middle.
    They generally only review mostly Xbox360 games, a few PS3 games, and almost no PC or Wii games. As someone who mostly games on the PC or Wii this is a little disappointing.
    There is an entire section of ~20 pages in every issue dedicated to Japanese imports. What do I care about Japanese imports? I can't play them. Why are they in the magazine?
    Overall, I would not recommend Play magazine unless all the above conditions apply. If I owned a PS3 and a Xbox360 I would probably rate this magazine at a 3 star level, but since I don't it only gets a one-star rating.

    Best gamer magazine out there. - 5 stars
    Play Review
    Best unbiased game magazine around. With a hint of Jap Anime, its a brilliantly vibrant magazine. Great reviews of games and previews of new games. I prefer this over EGM, PCG, all the big name magazines.
