Comics and Gaming Magazine

Comics and Gaming (better known as C&G) Magazine is a Canadian print and digital magazine which made its literary debut in February 2010. C&G Magazine, focusing on comics and gaming, was developed when a now discontinued Lucid Media, a comprehensive publication on Canadian arts and culture, split into two separate magazines. C&G Magazine's creation was to reach Lucid Media's growing audience of comic and gaming fans. C&G Magazine targets a mature audience. C&G Magazine provides feature editorials, news, interviews, previews, and reviews on comics and video games, video game hardware, and the comics and gaming industry. Although C&G Magazine is a Canadian publication, its material contains both national and international content concerning its industry of relevance.
Like the magazine, CGMagazine.ca was launched on February 1, 2010. Updated daily, the website’s content includes feature editorials, news, interviews, previews, reviews, screenshots, and videos on comics and video games, video-game hardware, and the comics and gaming industry. The C&G Magazine website also includes user forums and blogs.

Reviews: Scoring System
C&G Magazine uses a nominal scale from 1-100. Ratings are categorized within nominal increments of 10, however, there is an intentional gap between ratings of 0 and 49. The further away a rating is from 50 signifies the strength of a title's failure to meet the basic requirements expected in a comic or game.
