1. The game’s main picture is of Batman, the title of
the magazine, 360, is at the top of the it, it is bold
and green because the XBOX ring is green. At the
bottom of the page you see smaller bits of the
text, they are titles of the other features of the
magazine, first looks, reviews and features.
Batman Arkham City is the biggest game title in
the magazine there for it is the biggest and only
image on the cover, the game may not have been
out yet but it is a very big game and there for a
lot of people would want to find out information
about it before or even while its out, under the
games title there is some other writing, new
villains, new screens, new info, this suggests that
the game isn’t out yet, it includes information
that no one knows yet which could make people
want to buy it more. As it is a game magazine it
could include possible tips and ways to get past
bits of the game that people could be stuck on,
this is suggested in the writing under the games
title. As it is an XBOX 360 magazine there is a
picture of an XBOX 360 in the top corner. The
information on the front of the magazine isn’t the
only information in it but it may be some of the
most recently released games there for it would
probably draw in most people if they were to
look at it. The bigger the print of writing the more
popular the game appears to be for the
magazine. The writing in green could be what is
always on the front cover of every issue of
magazine, the writing in white is what changes,
as there are are always new games out, their will
always be different features in each issue. The
price of the magazine is also on in the top corner
of the magazine in a red patch. It is very eye
catching showing perhaps the bargain that you
get when you purchase this magazine, only £2.99.

2. The game’s main picture is of Batman, the title of
the magazine, PlayGamer, is at the top of the it,
the square, x, triangle and circle are buttons that
only feature on play station control pads. The
magazines main image on the front cover is of
Batman, the games title is next to the picture.
Both this games cover picture and the other one
are the same, they are both the cover of the case
for the standard copy of the Batman Arkham City
game, the game of the year copy is a different
picture. Unlike the other magazine cover a lot of
the featured games are in a long list under
reviewed, this could defeat the effect of having
certain game titles stand out, showing they may
ball be considered the same. Other bold titles are
also big features in the magazine. The other
pictures on the cover of the game are from the
trailer of another game, Dead Island. The feature
on this game may also be quite big as the writing
is a different colour to the rest. In the top corner
the price of the magazine is also printed and is
very eye catching, 116 packed pages, this also
shows that the magazine has loads of information
in it and that it is worth the money you are
spending on it.

3. The magazines title, games TM, is at the top of
the cover and is bold. The image on the front
cover is of characters from the game The last of
us. The writing “new blood” is very bold, this links
to the struggle that is taking place on the front
cover of the magazine. The cover doesn’t show
the price of the magazine like the the previous
two covers. The title also lists some of the games
that are featured in it.
Other headings on the page are for newly
released games for the next generation consoles,
the writing at the top of the magazine says first
details, this will help make many want to buy it as
it includes first look and new information on a
game that has not been released yet.

4. The magazine covers main image is of a
character from the assassin creed series. It is
the front cover of the the game itself. The
magazine not only has gaming information
but also film information as shown under the
heading 2010’s hottest releases. The
magazine’s title is at the top of the page in
capitals. The cover is quite plain and
doesn't’t include much information.
There is a website link www.I337.com, this
would take you to the magazines website
where there may be more pictures or trailers
and videos of other games.
Some of the games content is shown at the
top of the magazine, these reviews may be of
recently released games which is why they
are at the top in bold.
The bold main image of the magazine is of a
game that was very highly anticipated and
was also very popular.

5. The magazine title is at the top of the cover
like all of the magazines we have seen
already. The image on the front of the cover
is of a large monster and a man who appears
to be fighting against it, this is from the game
Monster Hunter Tri, a brand new game that
was coming out on Nintendo Wii soon. The
fact that this image stands out from the rest
shows us that there is a lot of information
inside on this game.
Like the other magazine covers there is a list
under the heading Reviewed, of some games
that also feature in the magazine. Another
game title that is very bold is Super Mario
Galaxy 2. The writing under it shows that
there is a lot of information on it, in depth
studies on bits of the game people may be
stuck on or some information people may
not have known, a full feature.

6. Like the previous Nintendo magazine the title
is on the top of the magazine. The covers
main image is of characters from Donkey
Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It shows them
almost swinging out of the page, this could
show that they believe it is a crazy, out of
control, exciting game. As this is the only
image on the cover and that also there is no
other writing about other games it shows
that this game is the most focused feature in
the magazine.
Most covers for Nintendo magazine are
usually bright, this could help appeal to
younger people, the games inside may also
be not as violent or for a younger age range
than a XBOX magazine or a PS3 magazine.
