Since the magazine is on newsstands video games cheaper in the Portuguese market: the Smash . The first number is not passed beside me, I saw him in the bunker, having my attention the new name and low price (only € 1.90). I leafed through the magazine at the newsstand to see if anything was shooting my reading radar cross (the one we used not to appear on newsstands for a pelintras who do not buy magazines) but nothing has led me to buy it.
However, some people call me the attention I was told that the second number was already up there and that was cool. Still undecided between the pictures in Playboy this month Jackes and Smash, I was weak and decided to take the Smash. The first thing that caught my attention were the names of authors of articles, personal well-known national forums of video games, such as Insert Coin, the Forums and ENE3. Nowadays, I do not visit or participate in national forums, do not have much time to dedicate to it and the time spent on forums it in international forums where the information is coming faster and with less caught pokemans fanzboyzillas.
But I digress. I continued to read the Smash and noticed that humor was a constant, which is good at first, but then begins to tire when most of the articles is always either piadola. The intention is good, just exaggerate the amount. The format of the magazine remembers especially a blog, short articles and incisive criticisms of binding with the games, which for me is good because I do not like wasting my time with blah blah blah, but I had to take with a few articles on film and music ... I thought I had bought a magazine video games but ultimately comes with bonus ... reminds Mary intimate with the office.
I liked the areas of Old School and Fanboy, even the Anipop!, I think have more to do with the context of magazine articles than music and film, however (and now pulling the coal to my sardines) found that could have more articles in the magazine to please retro gamers more veterans.
Regarding the content itself, the Smash sin by something that is a constant in most mainstream media: not behind many innovations that are not already at a distance of a click. Today with the Internet we have access to the same news that journalists have, so it is crucial to bet a lot in the opinion articles and the reviews or even articles.
In short: I liked, I think is an interesting project but still with plenty of room to evolve. Continue!
