Why gaming magazines suck

Gaming magazines are by and large terrible, as eloquently stated here and here.
I don't really play many videogames anymore, but when I did, I was lucky enough to be able to read "Next Generation" magazine, the onl gaming magazine I've ever come across aimed at adult readers. Besides having the balls to give bad reviews, unlike, say, EGM and its ilk, Next Gen was also the only mag to have in depth interviews with execs and game creators from all the major console players and the PC world. Since they appealed to intelligent readers, they inevitably crashed and burned. No videogame magazine I know of has come close to replacing them.
