Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) is an American monthly video game magazine. It offers video game news, coverage of industry events, interviews with gaming figures, editorial content and product reviews.

History

First founded in 1988, EGM was initially published by Sendai Publishing. In 1996, it switched publishers to Ziff Davis.

The magazine was discontinued in January 2009, following the sale of 1UP.com to UGO Networks.

Web-only relaunch

In April 2010, former editor Steve Harris relaunched the magazine under his new company EGM Media as an web-only publication. The website features regular news, reviews, and editorials.
