Abandoned print magazine brand Computer and Video Games is relaunching after four years on the shelf to produce a series of “coffee table-style” special editions.
Computer and Video Games, launched by magazine publisher Future in 1981 as the very first games magazine, was folded four years ago, though the CVG.co.uk website remained a part of Future’s GamesRadar family of websites, according to the Guardian.
Now, publishing director James Binns says there is still a huge demand for well-targeted print products for gamers.
The first in the series will be called CVG Presents Grand Theft Auto: the History. The issue is timed to coincide with the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, released on April 28.
The first issue will contain 180 pages. About 34,000 copies will be printed.
Future specials could focus on games such as Sims, World of Warcraft, Halo and Football Manager.
