It was there a few weeks ago, but I can't load the thing for the last several days. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know the story?

MacGamer doesn't always cover everything...Inside Mac Games doesn't always cover everything either. You need both.

Nah, you don't. IMG's news has way better quality and you get all important news and many that MG does not have, which is enough for me.

They are quite bigger anyway.

From a design/user experience perspective, IMG is much better than macgamer also.

Go to the macgamer index page and try to find the reviews section? Not easy to access as its part of the "features" section.

Not a good thing.

Admitedly, I use both sites though, but I stand by my opinion the IMG is substantially better.

I also like IMG more, but this is just my personal taste. But I also have a daily look at both. The Macgamer-forums are also very very very slow. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

The future releases section on mg is far more detailed, but I also like img more for daily information.
