I think my favourite magazine was probably Arcade.
It was more fun than Edge, but had more content than C&VG, which was a bit puerile by that point with the recycled paper in the middle.
The articles were interesting with a sense of enjoying the games and the reviews always felt fair, my favourite being their Half-Life one that talked of people with "that look" in their eyes after playing it.
I always have enjoyed GamesTM though and am glad it's still going.
I'm forever grateful to Martin Mathers who arranged for me to meet Tim Rogers when I went to Tokyo and he showed me around Akihabara.
I'm pretty sure he gyped me on their "win an arcade cabinet" competition in 2003 and it's sat in the lounge of some former editor!
