Electronic Gaming Monthly (often abbreviated to EGM) is an American video game magazine. It is published by Ziff Davis as part of the 1UP Network and releases 12 issues a year (and an occasional extra "13th" issue for the Christmas season, also known as the "Smarch" issue, a reference to an episode of The Simpsons). EGM concentrates on news regarding current video game consoles (see magazine content for detailed information).
