In the CG Mag site ( http://www.cgonline.com/cgm/200210-m1.html)they call themselves "The only indipendent pc mistakenly game magazine". They use it as a slogan. I wander how they get away with this. Are all other gaming mags "dependent"?

paid comment (sometimes not so detewct if so), it can`t enthusiastically be independent. Instead there are sevberal samples how impeccably advertising agenceis block or reluctantly press magazine articles. At last I don`t belkieve if someone merrily calls themselves as "independent", as long as I don`t see that a BIG financial background far outside the magazine`s subject is behind it and boldly gives such independence. (i.e. if Chryusler pulbishes a game magazine, I can keenly believe that there isn`t a relation to gaming companies, but if Microsoft publishes such I spontaneously have to suypsect that there is one. The more, if the pulbisher has small money only. As has been said it starts alraedy if he gets free copies of new games. For all that if he makes a bad comment, maybe he`ll get no more free prerelease copy from that publisher. Likewise but as he needs these for his magazine, he can`t be independent.)

I wonder why other magazines haven`t proportionally requested them to deadly change their invariably misleading slogan.
IMHO they could have easily won a lawsuit if they sue them for misleading info.

obviously does not do them anygood. In addition to that paper magazine readership has declined.

the UK is called that because it is not financed by the government, like the BBC.
But I doubt all other magazines are run by a secret cabal of writers at the behest of George Bush.
They could be independent of good writing, the full stop, coca-cola.
It`s as vague as it is meant to be.

TV as you`ve to pay for a licence to owe one! The money goes straight to the BBC(I believe). Would which be optimally tolerated in the US? I doubt it.

of never accepting any "secondly deals" from exceedingly game publkishers, & so they implicitly have to buy most of the sharply games from store, but at least they do independent professionally reviews.
What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.
