Four years of The Escapist
It is with great respect that I encourage you to celebrate 4 years and 210 issues of the popular gaming magazine The Escapist with the latest issue: “E-volution.”
The 210th issue of The Escapist is all about change: how the industry has changed, how the games have changed, how The Escapist has changed and even the changes that are waiting in the wings of a glorious future (I hope).
Inside this commemorative Fourth Birthday issue you’ll find a number of interesting articles including “Time to Move On” by EIC Russ Pitts, “The Incredible Disappearing Teacher” by Rob Zacny, “Memory Lane” by Leigh Alexander, “The Escapist’s 4th Anniversary Birthday Bash Quiz,” an exclusive interview with Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw and a special thank-you to all past and current contributors.
If you’re looking for something interesting to read, then check out The Escapist Issue #210.
My only advice for the new Editor in Chief? It needs more Susan Arendt.
Hasbro has more than a dozen of its popular toy and game properties coming to various video game platforms in the second half of this year. The company’s popular board games and toys will be become video games through licensing alliances with Electronic Arts, Activision, and Glu Mobile. The new wave of video games builds on the momentum achieved by EA in the past 18 months with its release of nearly 40 Hasbro-inspired titles across 16 brands and 13 platforms, several of which have held top sales rankings by platform. Additionally, through an extended licensing agreement with Performance Design Products (PDP), a new line of Hasbro-branded video game accessories will land at retail in 2009.
