>I always found that the older mags were either full on-shillrags, or full-on unprofessional but honest opinions
This must be an American thing. Super Play and N64 Magazine may have been single-format but they weren't shill rags. They frequently called shit out when they saw it, and regularly crucified games with cutting language.

The magazine was a professional outfit, had good graphic design and high quality funny writing. One of the journalists Tim Weaver is actually a moderately successful novel writer now. Dunno how many ex game mag journos can claim alumni like that, most had (and still do have) the writing ability of grade schoolers.
