Well recently iv been getting EGM for free off some internet promotion. And this is pretty much my first gaming magazine, and I was wondering what people on SEN likes, I pretty much got that list off Amazone.com...
Nintendo Power, every issue carries an excelent running joke. Sometimes 2. Most involves Chuck Norris, or pirates.
(Plus I'm a Nintendo man, so I get my coverage there.)
I do the same as you, free issues of EGM baby!
In reality I've gotten EGM and Nintendo Power, but then I realized I can get this and so much more for free at gamefaqs or gamespot. Thus, I don't believe in gaming mags.
There are a lot more magazines, even if you placed 20, there's still more.
I like EGM and CGW. If I had to choose, I'd probably pick CGW since I'm more of a PC gamer. I didn't see CGW up there though, so I voted EGM... (Yes, I'm blind...)
I get free Game Informers every month, so, that's all I use.
I'm going to have to go with PC Gamer. I love there magazines. They always list all the games ready to come out for the PC before any other magazine knows. They always have some kind of great news to read and I'm the kind of guy that loves great news.
So yeah, PC Gamer all the way.

oh where did you get that? some speical promotion? If there is just tell me lol.
I get GameInformer and EGM, EGM is a terrible magazine. It's incredible biased and stupid (Try reading the responses they make to people giving negative feedback about the magazine). But their cover stories are normally good, so I get it for that. I like GameInformer though, nice meaty package, and also fittign to my tastes. Like how they gave True Crime NYC an 8.5, finally someone understood my love for it.
True crime is my favorite game for the Xbox. Since Xbox 360 came out it has to be Oblivion. I can't wait for a True Crime to come out for the 360. That'll be bad ass.
Used to get Nintendo Power, but I don't read any gaming magazines anymore.
I've never heard of Nintendo Power. Although I have never really read gaming magazines while the Nintendo was popular. I don't think anyone has... Well, except for you of course.
Since there isn't a lot of magazines listed, I'll choose OXM.
EGMs the only one I get, so go EGM.
Svenska PC Gaming is the best!
Somehow it's better than Norske PC Gaming

I dont get any but I used to get the PS2 one cant remember the exact name, but I liked that one so I voted for Other!

Playstation Magazine, it's abriveiated (OH YEAH SPELLING FOR THE WIN) PSM.
Gamepro and PCGamer are by far the best magazines =\

'the' Nintendo
was popular? If you haven't noticed the company is still going strong and most people enjoy the games.
Nintendo Power all the way. It tells things about Nintendo obviously, and Chuck Norris

I haven't enough experience with NP to give it a definitive grade.
But PCG definitely justifies the $40 US/year I pay as a regular Canadian subscriber, if only for all the world-exclusive first peeks they give us.
ADDITION:
And Oblivion is best played on PCs.

Same...But i voted for GamePro

EDIT: Wow...U guys havnt heard of Nintendo Power..?!?!?
The only magazine that I've ever ordered was Nintendo Power about two years ago. I liked those the best. I haven't really read a gaming magazine in the past few months though, but I did like GamePro.
Playstation Magizane
This way when I read it I'll know every game I read about will be for PS2 therefore I don't start wanting another system such as Xbox or Gamecube so I can play 1 good game I read about. Also it keeps me up-to-date with PS2 games, what's good and what's bad.
