The Australian edition of the magazine will be published by Citrus Media. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a landmark event for Australian gaming media and the local industry as a whole,\u201d said Stead. \u201cWe will continue the Game Informer<\/span><\/em> tradition by bringing Australian readers the biggest and best gaming news first, and we also will give a voice to the local gaming scene.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beginning with Game Informer<\/span><\/em>\u2019s January 2010 issue, EB Games Australia will begin selling both single copy issues and one-year subscriptions to its gaming customers. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEB Games is delighted to help bring Game Informer<\/span><\/em> to Australia,\u201d said Shane Stockwell, Merchandising Director of EB Games Australia. \u201cThis is a game changer, as Game Informer<\/span><\/em> surpasses any gaming magazine in the Australian market. We know our customers will appreciate having access to the top video game magazine in the world.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
