As much as I enjoy promoting unknown companies that are starting or branching out, this next post actually hits closer to home than before. Today, IROIROMODE announced that they will be releasing a new magazine called Now Loading. This is an independently published magazine that explore the video game industry and the faces behind its grand success today. The magazine also promises to cover Asian pop-culture trends, gadgets, conventions, and music, making this the all-around gamer lifestyle magazine. Here are two excepts from the press release:

The initial January issue will be available mid-December to kickoff the new 2009 year. The digital copies will be available online at a retail price of $2.99, while offering annual subscriptions at $9.95 – 72% off the cover price. Gamers looking to obtain hard copies can get single issues delivered at the cover price of $5.99 and $19.95 for annual subscription – also 72% off the cover price.

“We recognize that online media, such as blogs and their real-time processing of information, are proving to be the surpassing media over print,” says Cameron Sampson, Editor of Now Loading, “however, the combination of quality editorial and design still can’t be matched. Why not offer the best of both worlds?”
