Touch Gaming Magazine, the first iPad mag dedicated to iPad gaming

I'd like to inform you that we have just released the first iPad magazine dedicated to iPad and iPhone gaming into the App Store. It's called Touch Gaming Magazine and it will be a monthly magazine filled with reviews, interviews, previews, background articles and more. It's also the first gaming magazine made exclusively for release on the iPad.

We're a small (read: tiny) publishing company made up of gaming enthusiasts. We've all been involved with videogame journalism for around 15 years, and it's always been our dream to one day start our own magazine. Now with the release of the iPad, we were able to make that dream come true. We built our own software for transferring the articles to the iPad and then started playing iPad games and writing about them like crazy. We love gaming on the iPad, we probably won't have to explain to you why, and we thought it was weird that, while there are lots of websites about iPad gaming, there was no magazine dedicated to it yet.

So now there is. The first issue features 12 interviews, 35 reviews and 4 galleries. Some of the games featured are Cut the Rope, Puzzle Agent, Plunderland and Let's Golf 2.

No I don't mind at all

We are completely independent and don't have ties to any games company whatsoever. This was also a reason for us to do our own thing. Throughout the years we have spent in games journalism we have seen many times that reviews were rewritten or scores were changed. It's very frustrating to have something like that happen.

This is also a reason why, for now, we have decided against any form of advertising in the mag, so that there can be no misunderstanding about the fact that our loyalty definitely lies with our readers.

You are absolutely right, I can only agree with you. The thing is that when we started production on this mag, quite a few months ago, we had the idea to sell the mag both on iPad and on iPhone, as well as a pdf version that you could read on your computer. So we had quite a lot of content done already when we decided to make the mag iPad only. Since quite a few people also play iPhone games on their iPad, we decided to leave them in, but with every intention to make the next issue really iPad only.

So, starting from the next issue, there will be reviews of just iPad games, with a small roundup of the most interesting iPhone titles in the back of the mag.
