Game Players Nintendo Guide
''Game Players'' was a monthly video game magazine founded by Robert C. Lock in 1989 and originally published by Signal Research in Greensboro, North Carolina. The original publication began as ''Game Players Strategy to Nintendo Games'' (the cover featured a disclaimer that claimed it had no affiliation with Nintendo, which already had its official publication in ''Nintendo Power''). The magazine evolved over the years, spinning off a separate publication called ''Game Players Sega Genesis Guide'' when Sega entered the console market. These two magazines were later folded together into one magazine. In 1996, the magazine changed its name to ''Ultra Game Players'' and introduced a radically different format. At the end of its run, it turned into ''Game Buyer'', before being cancelled in 1998. History Around 1992, Signal Research was shut down by investors that seized the company because of fiscal mismanagement. The publishing house was revived by an investment group as GP Publ ...

Video game journalism (also called games journalism or video game criticism) is a specialized branch of journalism that covers various aspects of video games, including game reviews, industry news, and player culture, typically following a core "reveal–preview–review" cycle.

With the advent of the internet, video game journalism expanded to web-based outlets and video platforms, where independent online publications, blogs, YouTube channels, and eSports coverage gained significant influence. Throughout its history, video game journalism has grappled with ethica ...
