Where is Rolling Stone? You have got to be kidding me. Before I opened this article, I guessed that it would be number 1 or certainly in the top 5. Wow.

Maxim hasn't been any good in at least 6-7 years. Can't believe guys are still buying it.

I'm a little shocked; but then I see Game Informer sells 7M.

Video games are to kids today what music was to those of us born in the 60s - 80s
