Amusement

If anyone sees a copy of Amusement, a new French gaming magazine, in Tokyo at a reasonable price, please-please let me know. I really want to pick this up — comes off as Monocle doing games — but buying the issue from their site is close to $40 (to Japan).

  1. Are there any blog entries about it yet or maybe a few excerpts to check out? Does seem to be an interesting magazine, but I’m a bit too low on money to just order me a copy.

  2. I only saw one post about it, and they were just saying that it was a magazine that covers games, but doesn’t feel like your typical game magazine (in a good way). For the rest, the only thing I’ve seen is that flash intro they have on their site.

    Yeah, that’s why I was hoping to find it here, so that I could at least flip through it to see if it’s worth it.

  3. Salut Jean, ca va?

    Going back to France in a couple of weeks… can get you a copy if you haven’t found one before. Going to Paris for 48 hours so I can give it to you during one of your regular walks in Omotesando.
    Cheers

  4. Thanks for the offer, Charlie, that’s very nice of you. I’m heading back to North America soon, so I’ll try and find a copy while I’m there.

  6. digiki’s got it. I was looking for it in France too, but never saw it anywhere on newsstands unfortunately. The magazine looks amazing though, even though I cannot read French, just browsing through it, I can tell this is the kind of gaming magazine (which places games in a larger context of art, style, and fashion) that I’ve been waiting for for years.

  7. Yeah, Antonin was telling me just last night that he actually knows the guy behind it. Really looks like the game magazine of my dreams.
