Hardcore Gamer

Hardcore Gamer HardcoreGamer is a digital publication founded in June 2005 as a hardcopy video game magazine. Hardcore Gamer began its life as a printed magazine in 2005.

Within months, hundreds of thousands of issues of Hardcore Gamer were distributed to subscribers internationally. We quickly became a trusted source in the industry, employing only writers who were seriously hardcore about gaming.

We played a small chunk of : Legacy of Atlantis, but having no hand holding and a lot to explore in the world, be it small subsections or puzzles spread throughout, made it feel like a real adventure.
