Best news of the day: Next Generation is back. Well, in web form anyhow. Some of the original staff from the best gaming magazine in it's day appear to have formed a gaming site for industry professionals. Next Generation combined the focus on art and great layout and screenshots of Play with people who actually know how to write and understand the industry. The worst part of it's demise is that my subscription was replaced with that god-awful celebrity-centered gaming mag, where the first issue was free. I forget the name, but you know the one. That's like watching your mansion burn down and having the insurance company set you up with a giant hollowed out pumpkin. Anyhow, who knows if the Next Gen site will even be open to the public, but in such a news-driven industry I'm glad to see an intelligent, reliable force back in action regardless.
