It's a rare thing for a print magazine to come back to newstands after being shut down but one of the biggest such mags in the gaming industry is doing just that. After months of preparations, Electronic Gaming Monthly will return to newsstands in March with its April 2010 dated issue.

As some of you may know, the magazine was shut down just under a year ago by Ziff Davis as part of its complete escape from the game media industry. However the magazine's original founder Steven Harris bought back the rights to EGM last May. Since then he has been working to relaunch the print magazine and tie it into a digital version, EGM[i]: The Digital Magazine. Each newsstand copy of EGM will have a code to access EGM[i] that will provide both original content as well as article extensions. The new EGM will also have contributions from a number of the magazine's previous writers and editors.

It's coming back in March 2010 with its April 2009 issue? That's confusing.Posted at 4:09PM on Dec 21st 2009 by RogueJedi86

Does this mean the paid subscription they never gave me a credit for is still viable?
