There is definitely something different about holding a magazine versus reading a digital copy. Nothing beats holding it and looking closely at screen shots that catch your eye.

I loved getting the computer mags that had the type-in programs. When we were doing a physical magazine for RGM we played with the idea of reviving the type-in program considering the popularity of BASIC interpreters for so many platforms (and many games not being over a few hundred lines of code for the earlier platforms).
