Have you ever wished your video game magazine was more like Maxim? If you just did a fist pump, then you're the target audience for Incite Video Gaming, the celebrity-filled misfire from Computec Media.


Excerpt: Launched in December of 1999, Incite was for teenage boys who were both curious about the next Bond game and in need of a picture of Denise Richards to masturbate to. Forget talking to the most important game developers of the time, this was a magazine more interested in interviewing the chick from V.I.P. that wasn't Pamela Anderson. Are you curious to know more about Dead or Alive 2? Then don't bother reading this pictorial spread featuring the busty babes of Son of the Beach. Month after month, Incite would ask stupid questions to models, wrestlers and comedians with only a passing interest in video games.

On Tomorrow's Episode: Come back tomorrow when we'll take a look at NewType Gaming, the short-lived magazine that spawned a certain GameSpot editor. Find out who this mystery man is on tomorrow's episode of 29 Magazines of Christmas.
