CVG returns to the newsstand

MCV Staff 3rd April 2008 Business News

The first issue of CVG Presents… hits shelves on April 16th, and is based on a minor Rockstar title you may have heard of called GTA IV, offering a comprehensive mix of newly-commissioned editorial and features from the Future archive.

It plans to be a coffee-table style publication, and is headed up by veteran editor Steve Williams and former Edge art editor Terry Stokes.

The first issue of CVG went on sale in 1981 and was published monthly right up until December 2004, after which it went online-only.

"I bought issue one of CVG in 1981 and I’m delighted that Future is bringing the brand back to the newsstand," said publishing director of Future’s games portfolio James Binns.

"We will be promoting CVG Presents in-store, online and across the rest of our growing games portfolio. Gamers are going absolutely nuts for the release of GTAIV, and the timing of this launch couldn’t be better."

The first issue of GTA Presents goes on sale Wednesday, 16th April, with a coverprice of 5.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
