Print Video Game Magazines are Attempting a Comeback, Starting with CONTINUE

By

Print Video Game Magazine CONTINUE Kickstarter
Jackson Ryan and Mark Serrels, two experienced journalists who’ve spent years learning about the game industry, have launched CONTINUE, a new print magazine that focuses on long-form articles.
