==Overview==
{{Main|Video game journalism}}

Journalist reporting and evaluation of video games in periodicals began from the late 1970s to 1980 in general coin-operated industry magazines like ''[[Play Meter]]''<ref>{{cite web|title=Play Meter |website=[[Play Meter]] |url=http://www.playmeter.com/ |access-date=April 24, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207214442/http://www.playmeter.com/ |archive-date=February 7, 2012 }}</ref> and ''RePlay'',<ref name="RePlay">{{cite web |title=About RePlay |url=http://www.replaymag.com/about_replay/about.html |access-date=April 24, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502032434/http://www.replaymag.com/about_replay/about.html |archive-date=May 2, 2014 }}</ref> home entertainment magazines like ''[[Video (magazine)|Video]]'',<ref name=gamedoctor>{{cite book | first=Bill | last=Kunkel | title=Confessions of the Game Doctor | page=171 | year=2005 | publisher=Rolenta Press | isbn=0964384892}}</ref> as well as magazines focused on computing and new information technologies like ''[[InfoWorld]]'' or ''[[Popular Electronics]]''.<ref>{{cite book | editor-first=Mark J.P. | editor-last=Wolf | title=Encyclopedia of Video Games: The Culture, Technology, and Art of Gaming | page=131 | year=2012 | publisher=ABC-CLIO | isbn=978-0-313-37936-9}}</ref>

However, dedicated magazines focusing primarily on [[video game journalism]] wouldn't appear until late in 1981, when several magazines were launched independently of each other at about the same time. ''[[Computer and Video Games]]'' premiered in the U.K. in November 1981.<ref>{{cite web|title=Computer & Video Games Magazine |url=http://www.64apocalypse.com/images/cvg/magintro.htm |date=April 25, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140802220333/http://64apocalypse.com/images/cvg/magintro.htm |archive-date=August 2, 2014 }}</ref> It was soon followed by ''[[Electronic Games]]'' in the US, founded by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz and Joyce Worley, who had previously written the "Arcade Alley" column in ''Video''.<ref name="wired_kunkel">{{cite magazine|last=Kohler |first=Chris |title=Bill Kunkel, Original Gaming Journalist, Dies at 61 |url=https://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/09/bill-kunkel-dies/all/1 |magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] |access-date=1 March 2012 |date=April 25, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131219100331/http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/09/bill-kunkel-dies/all/1 |archive-date=19 December 2013 }}</ref> While ''Electronic Games'' covered [[Arcade game|arcade]] and [[console game]]s as well as [[PC game|computer software]], ''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' was focused entirely on the latter.<ref name="sipe198808">{{cite magazine | title=The Greatest Story Ever Told | magazine=Computer Gaming World | date=August 1988 | author=Sipe, Russell | pages=6}}</ref> The [[video game crash of 1983]] badly hurt the market for North American video game magazines. ''Computer Gaming World'', founded in 1981, stated in 1987 that it was the only survivor of 18 color magazines for computer games in 1984.<ref name="sipe198712">{{cite magazine | title=Editorial | magazine=Computer Gaming World | date=December 1987 | author=Sipe, Russell | pages=4}}</ref>

Meanwhile, in Japan, the first magazines entirely dedicated to video games began appearing from 1982, beginning with [[ASCII]]'s ''[[Enterbrain|LOGiN]]'', followed by several [[SoftBank]] publications and [[Kadokawa Shoten]]'s ''[[Comptiq]]''. The first magazine dedicated to [[console game]]s, or a specific [[video game console]], was [[Tokuma Shoten]]'s ''Family Computer Magazine'', which began in 1985 and was focused on [[Nintendo]]'s [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Family Computer]] (Nintendo Entertainment System in the West). This magazine later spawned famous imitators such as ''Famicom Tsuushin'' (loosely, "Famicom Journal") in 1986 (now known today as ''[[Famitsu]]'') and ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' in 1988.<ref name="gifford_mag">{{cite web|last=Gifford |first=Kevin |title='Game Mag Weaseling': Japan Mag Roundup 2008 |url=http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2008/04/column_game_mag_weaseling_japa.php |work=GameSetWatch |access-date=1 March 2012 |date=April 27, 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121011141125/http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2008/04/column_game_mag_weaseling_japa.php |archive-date=11 October 2012 }}</ref>

In the mid-2000s, the popularity of print-based magazines started to wane in favor of web-based magazines.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/further-decline-for-print-mags |publisher=gamesindustry.biz |title=Further decline for print mags |date=15 February 2007 |access-date=15 February 2007 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080405042035/http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/further-decline-for-print-mags |archive-date=5 April 2008 }}</ref> In 2006, ''[[Eurogamer]]''{{'}}s business development manager Pat Garratt wrote a criticism of those in print games journalism who had not adapted to the web, drawing on his own prior experience in print to offer an explanation of both the challenges facing companies like Future Publishing and why he believed they had not overcome them.<ref name="papertrails">{{cite web|url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=19093|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070327191244/http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=19093|archive-date=2007-03-27|title=Paper Trails|work=GamesIndustry.biz|date=18 August 2006|access-date=2006-10-03}}</ref>
