Family Handyman

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Puzzles and Games

The magazine was ... good/ok. After the third issue, I started to regret subscribing to it. Too thin, not enough juicy content that made it useful. Why would I want to check out their web site on how to do some stuff when I subscribed to the magazine? After seeing the pictures of what I wanted to build, the bottom verbage was "Check out our web site on how to do this..." Junk. Sorry...

Game Informer

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Puzzles and Games
from: Sunrise Publications Inc


Having been a gamer for many, many, years, I can say that Game Informer is the best magazine out there now, and probably the most comprehensive and well made gamer mag ever.

Simply put, this magazine does a lot of things well...

1) The reviews are honest and thorough. I would say that I agree with them about 90% of the time. Many games will have two reviews so you can get different opinion.
2) Great layout. There are reviews, previews, editorials, reader letters, game news, event coverage, etc.. Overall, there is a lot in every issue.
3) Good construction. Nice size and great color on the pages. I remember old school GamePro where it was like a cheap comic. This is not the case.

Electronic Gaming Monthly

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Puzzles and Games
from: Ziff Davis Media


I've been reading Electronic Gaming Monthly for several years, and it is truly one of the best gaming mags out there. The writing is phenomenal; the writer's manage to put humor and detailed information into their articles.

Many other magazines have sold out in recent years, giving better reviews to game's whose publishers pay more for advertising and such, but not EGM.

If you want a high quality magazine about video gaming and all of its attachments, buy this one.

The Official Xbox Magazine [1-year]

This product is pretty good except for you most likely will never receive your 12th issue. Other than that you get disks of demos every month and pretty good articles.

Fine Woodworking

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Puzzles and Games
from: Taunton Press


I have been a subscriber since the premier issue in 1975. Back then my workshop was a 4 by 8 foot room in front of my carport and my only power tool was an electric drill. The second issue prompted me to make my first hand cut dovetails. The main benefit I still get out of the magazine is it gives me the confidence to try new projects that demand new skills. While I buy Woodwork regularly, and occasionally other magazines at the news stand, Fine Woodworking is the only magazine I subscribe to year after year.

Brew Your Own

I have been brewing for about 5 years or so and this magazine has been very informative and helpful. The tips and tricks to make you go from a plastic bucket and pre-boxed beer kit maker (don't get me wrong these make great homebrew) to have the confidence to expand to glass carboys (double fermentation) and developing your own ingredient lists and recipies. It has lots of tips for beginners and for advanced brewers alike. A good mix in my opinion for a brewing magazine.

$30 for a subscription saving 40%? This is such blatant false advertising! Anyone can get a subscription from the publisher direct for $26.95. Easy searching online can get you better than that from wholesale magazine distributors. This is pathetic.

And of course, I agree with everyone else, this is an awesome magazine. I am only criticizing Amazon here.

Coin World

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Puzzles and Games
from: Amos Hobby Publishing


Coin World or Numismatic News? I've been getting both for the past year and Coin World is clearly better. The news coverage is deeper, the letters to the editor are more insightful and it has more advertising. If you can afford both, get both, but if you have to choose, buy Coin World.

Card Player

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Puzzles and Games
from: Card Player


This magazine is terrific if you are or know a poker player. It has a lot of information on tournaments, especially Texas Holdem. It has a good listing of the regular tournaments that happen in Las Vegas every day, although all the hotels are not in there. If you want to find out for sure if a specific hotel has a tournament you are best off to call that hotel to find out. Overall, though, this is a terrific magazine. It is a magazine that you find in Las Vegas by some of the poker rooms. If you order this magazine, though, be sure you follow the order process closely. I ordered it on December 14 and hadn't received it by February 8. I called the magazine itself and they did not have me on record. I had to call [...] who transferred me to their magazine department and they had ... Read More:
