CVG returns to the newsstand

Legendary print title returns in new bi-monthly format

The first issue of CVG Presents... hits shelves on April 16th, and is based on a minor Rockstar title you may have heard of called GTA IV, offering a comprehensive mix of newly-commissioned editorial and features from the Future archive.

It plans to be a coffee-table style publication, and is headed up by veteran editor Steve Williams and former Edge art editor Terry Stokes.

The first issue of CVG went on sale in 1981 and was published monthly right up until December 2004, after which it went online-only.

"I bought issue one of CVG in 1981 and I'm delighted that Future is bringing the brand back to the newsstand," said publishing director of Future's games portfolio James Binns.

"We will be promoting CVG Presents in-store, online and across the rest of our growing games portfolio. Gamers are going absolutely nuts for the release of GTAIV, and the timing of this launch couldn't be better."

Got boring when the legendary likes of Jaz Rignal left. I hope the magazine will be for all tastes. I'll be buying it anyways. Hopefully (or wishful thinking) a return for Mean Machines next?

Doesn't that depend on the contents?
