_{Cover of the July 2008 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly}

Electronic Gaming Monthly was one of the best and longest running video game magazines in the U.S. It's closest competitor in terms of success was probably GamePro but I always liked EGM better. The July 2008 issue includes:

Features

Cover Story: Gears of War 2 - An exclusive look at this third-person shooter for the Xbox 360.

Banjo-Kazooie 3 - A hands-on preview, including screen shots, of this 3D platform game sequel from Rare for the Xbox 360.

Letters

Our feedback to your feedback - Letters from readers about games and politics, Guitar Hero and Rock Band vs. playing real instruments, and more.

Boom Blox - An explosive 3D puzzle game for the Wii.

Wii Fit - An exercise game for the Wii that is sort of a spiritual sequel to the Power Pad on the original NES.

Hail to the Chimp - A decent set of mini-games for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Hellboy: The Science of Evil - This third person action game based on the 2004 Hellboy movie turns out to not be nearly as good as the movie.
