What is a Gamerz24x7?
Welcome to GamerZ24x7, the digital magazine portal for next-gen videogames enthusiasts. All our magazines are exclusively available in digital format for download - we don't produce print magazines. By doing this, we are able to give all our magazines away to you, the reader, for free.
That's right, free magazines. You don't need to pay, or even register, to read any or all of our magazines (though since we've been going since 2006, it would take you a while to read them all). Simply click on a magazine cover when you see a magazine you want to download it. One click is all it takes.
This website is designed to make it as easy as possible to find and download the magazine that you want. If you're just looking for the latest issue of one of our magazines for something to browse and read, download it from the home page, or from the Latest Downloads box on the left of every page.
If you're looking for a magazine issue about a specific game, search or browse the site and when you find an article that interests you, you can read that web page and then read more about the game by downloading the related magazine. If the site finds a magazine which has an article on the same game that you are reading about, it will show you that magazine in a box on that page. Cool, eh? This works on all the news, previews and reviews pages, so that you can read what you want on the game on the site and then continue to read more in depth coverage in the related magazine by downloading it.
The management team behind GamerZines have all worked on some of the UK's biggest games and technology magazines, and our aim is to bring the same passion for console and PC games that you see in print onto the web.
What will I find in a GamerZine?
- The same quality of editorial that you would find in a magazine you buy off the shelves - we have over 15 years experience in creating magazines
- Design that matches the highest standards in a printed magazine - our emagazines look great, which makes reading them a lot more enjoyable
- Ease of use - navigating your way around the magazine and using its advanced features is incredibly simple. Nobody makes more advanced digital magazines than us.
- Immersive multimedia - games are an immersive medium, which is why, alongside static screenshots and text to read, you'll find animations, quizzes, rollover screens and video throughout our emagazines. You don't need to imagine what a game looks like any more when reading a magazine, because we can show you!
What do I need?
- Adobe Reader version 6 or above (free), or Foxit Reader v3 or above (free). Most PCs should have a recent enough version of Adobe Reader already installed. (If you have installed Internet Explorer 7 or above (whether you use it or not), we recommend you upgrade to the latest version. It ensures all features work correctly. Because Adobe Reader is a plugin for Internet Explorer, you need to upgrade to the latest version that has been written to work with Internet Explorer 7, or the multimedia elements may not work correctly.
- Adobe Flash (should be pre-installed on Windows, but you may want to update it via Internet Explorer to ensure it works)
Why emagazines?
People love magazines; we love magazines. We wanted to produce something different to what is already on offer online, something that more closely resembles the experience of a printed magazine, together with the multimedia benefits that a digital format offers. We don't believe web pages are the best way to show off videogames. You can't easily integrate large screenshots. You can't control the dpi (which means lower quality) of the images. You can't design the pages as you can in magazines. Digital magazines, combined with a useful website like this one, can offer you much more depth and quality than either a print magazine or a website alone can.
We're very proud of this website; it's very sophisticated and has lots of clever stuff, but if you think this is good, wait until you read one of our magazines. Talking of which, isn't it about time you went off and downloaded one and found out for yourself?
