Publisher Information

GMR started its publication journey in February 2003 and terminated in 2005. It was a part of a promotional deal with Electronics Boutique, a gaming and software retailer also known as EB Games.

Content Structure

The magazine was divided into several sections, including a News section, Features, Previews, Reviews, and a Replay section, which were typical for publications in the field. Unique to GMR was a "Manual," a guide for games, and "Boneyard," an analysis of failed video game concepts. The magazine often featured game-related cover art, which contributed to its visual appeal.
