Greatest North American video game trade publication in recorded history.
Created by Dave Halverson, it revolutionized western gaming magazines by using thicker, richly layered, ink-heavy pages with tons of photos and oftentimes humorously hyperbolic text ("eye-flaying, mind-numbing, A+++ action!!!"). GameFan alone began the now common practice of covering import/Japanese gaming with as much fervor as domestic products, and giving RPGs and niche titles as much room as the usual banal sports and action games.
Its eventual price hike to $6, not to mention the less than monthly frequency in which its deadlines were hit and, subsequently, magazines were shipped to readers, eventually caused its downfall, but not before shaping the business for years to come.
Notable alums include Halverson, Casey Loe, Dan Jevons, and Nick "Rox" DeBarres.

Get the magazine mug.When a man walks in to the room, grabs a magazine, and walks away with it; he is going to take a shit. Leave him alone! This is special time, in which a man gets to fully relax, and ponder the meaning of life. This is the only time he doesn't have to listen to his GF/wife/coworker bitch about something. Without this special time, man would go insane and might hurt or kill another.
Since he grabbed the magazine, you also need to protect yourself from the smell, you know what is coming, you have been warned. Don't sit their and act stupid, and then bitch about the aroma after the fact.
