…. yep, EGM. An old stalwart of the gaming magazine era. Got a decent stack myself, with some pre-2k ones too. Sushi-X, I believe, was the quirky mystery reviewer, although I think he was phased out at some point in the 2000’s. It was silly, but I think him and “Scary Larry” of GamePro got into some minor spat, complaining about who’s faker or some shit. Little trivia of the day, lol.
Before the 2000’s, it was well known for an April Fool’s joke, claiming they had revealed a hidden character in Street Fighter II known as Shen Long, Ryu and Ken’s master. Fascinatingly enough… Capcom acknowledges this joke in various ways, lol.

I remember that exact issue. There was also one a month before/after it where the cover image was the PS3 with a tomato thrown at it, talking about the PS3 launch flopping. I think it’s funny how even now I actually agree that 2007 was the best year ever in gaming. Funny how that issue still thought that MGS4, Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros Brawl, and GTA 4 were all going to release in 2007. 07 was epic as it was I couldn’t imagine how it’d have been if those had released too.
I have long since lost my old EGM issues. Any chance you could upload a few pics from the main cover article, OP? Pretty please?

I’m sure Dan Hsu, Crispin Boyer, and the other old editors/writers/reviewers appreciate your nostalgia.

If you ever decide to part with those magazines, there might be some gaming historians who would want to create digital archives

2007 was ridiculously stacked and could very well be the best year ever so far.
