So, Best Buy decided to send me a trial copy of their new gamer magazine,
@Gamer, in the hopes I'd be willing to part with $20 for a 1 year
subscription.

Pardon me while I stop laughing...

OK, so the magazine does come with a page of coupons which give you $10-15
off various things. For instance, $15 off Civ V, $10 off a PS3
controller, etc. I guess if you were insistent on buying new games
regularly from Best Buy this might be worth the price of the subscription.

However all their reviews - even for games you know didn't score well
elsewhere - are between 3.5 and 4.75 stars. Oh come on now. Enslaved is
4.5? Sure, it looks pretty, but from what I've read elsewhere, the game
practically plays itself and is quite short. Does that sound like a game
that rates the same as Dead Rising 2?
