Whilst porusing the interwebs as I usually do I found this little video from the guys at Mega 64. It’s extremely funny and is a great way of showing how much everyone liked EGM Magazine. Check it out below.
Enjoy!

You may have heard (or read) last week that Ziff Davis had sold 1Up.com to UGO. Alongside this deal came the closing of EGM and 40 job losses.

American video games magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) has closed it’s doors for the last time today. Ziff Davis Media today announced that the magazine had been shut down and that popular games sites 1Up.com, MyCheats.com, GameVideos.com, GameTab.com had been sold to UGO Entertainment.
The last printed issue of EGM is the January 2009 issue. The fate of the highly popular 1Up podcasts is unclear says MTV Multiplayer’s Patrick Klepek who had recieved comment on the issue from Davis’ Sam Kenedy.
Ziff Davis also layed off 30 people before the decision to fold the magazine and sell the aformentioned sites. I’m sad to see a gaming institution like EGM go. I give my best wishes to everyone at 1Up and those who lost their jobs at Ziff.

The game will be a prequel to the movie and will give people a chance to learn more about the movie’s characters and such. Good idea. It was also announced that the game would be episodic and downloadable from the PlayStation Store (and presumably XBLA).Hit the jump for more. Continue reading
