Searching for contact emails of game print media magazines

[Firlefanz]

Hello,

right now I am doing some marketing for Commando Xenidis.

I know of 3 german (how do you call it?) print media magazines that come with DVD and/or CD with game demos on them.

I visited their websites and looked for their contact emails.

Then I have sent an email to each one with some data of Commando Xenidis and asked them to put the shareware version on their DVD/CD.

I did that for my older games and it worked everytime

So I don't know the foreign magazines names or contact data.

Please if you know such websites (were I can look for their email adresses) or even better email adresses themself, please list them here!

I think this would be an interesting thing for everyone who finishes a game.

I'll start with 3 german adresses.

Hi Firlefanz,

please let us know how this worked with Commando Xenidis. I will buy a copy of the mags when they are out with your game. Please post the release date (if they publish it).

Greetings,
Dirk

@Huehnerschaender: Got the first reply now, Gamestar puts it on one of their next CD/DVD, the next one would be 05/2006.

I am anxious to see if they say something about the game and if then more people play and perhaps buy it.

I released v1.1 last week and the price is now 10€.

Very good news.
I will buy the magazine to take a look at it, too. It would be great if they put a little article about your game in the mag.
Thats a very good start I think.

And also the lower price could convince more people to buy your game.

Perhaps take a look at the DVD contents first, I am not 100% sure it will be on the next one, they told me on a DVD/CD as soon as possible, maybe the next one.

Hello,

Commando Xenidis will be in the german 'Gamestar' that comes out tomorrow, see bottom right under Extras:

http://www.gamestar.de/magazin/heft/052006/dvd.pdf

Does nobody have some contact data of other PC Game magazines?

What's the name/hompage of non german Games newpapers with DVD?

Thanks,
Firle

I know what to do tomorrow ^^

Gratz Firlefanz.

Please let us know if this affects your sells...

Hi Firle,

I got the GameStar 5/2006. I can see the name Commando Xenidis on the DVD-Cover. But I can't find the game on the DVD.
Can you tell me why?

Greetings,
Dirk

PS: Sad that they don't mention the game with a single word in the magazine.

I don't have it here.
I think it was under extras.
