The GDC 08 Program Guide has, on pages 20-21, a list of GDC event partners, with each name accompanied by an informative blurb.
The entry for EGM, on page 20:
EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) is the leading multi-platform publication, boasting the biggest readership of any independent gaming magazine. Tight, smart, authoritative editorial backed by industry insider information, accessible only to the most respected reporters, has made EGM the most widely-read book on the crowded gaming newsstand. EGM's stellar reputation earns it exclusive first-looks at all the hottest new titles and hardware, and lends its editors' expertise to deliver informed game previews, reviews and original, intelligent features. egm.1up.com
Now, on page 21, the entry for Games For Windows: The Official Magazine, EGM's sister publication under the Ziff Davis banner.
GFW (Games for Windows: The Official Magazine) is the leading multi-platform publication, boasting the biggest readership of any independent gaming magazine. Tight, smart, authoritative editorial backed by industry insider information, accessible only to the most respected reporters, has made EGM the most widely-read book on the crowded gaming newsstand. EGM's stellar reputation earns it exclusive first-looks at all the hottest new titles and hardware, and lends its editors' expertise to deliver informed game previews, reviews and original, intelligent features. www.gamesforwindows.com
No shit. That's absolutely verbatim. And it's the wrong URL, by the way: that's for Games for Windows the Microsoft initiative, not the magazine.
For all my failings as a "games journalist", at least I am not the guy who did that.
