Checkpoint Magazine – About Us

Welcome to Checkpoint, a feature-led digital, interactive gaming magazine brought to you by video game veteran journalists Tamer Asfahani and Steve Boxer. After years of planning, this was the first magazine to be fully interactive on release in March 2017.

The magazine is aimed at any gamer with an interest in gaming, the influences of gaming culture, the impact gaming has on society and, of course, will cover expected content such as reviews, interviews, previews and events.

With gaming now part of everyone’s life in some form, Checkpoint was created with intelligent, interesting and fun content in mind. Each magazine is fully interactive, with galleries, videos, audio and animation all built in. Not only can you find out about the latest trends in gaming, the best games to buy and get detailed information from developers, publishers and gamers alike; but you can also expect to see features on the future of gaming, the influence of the industry and the way in which technology created for gaming has helped pushed the boundaries in other industries.

Want to know why localisation is a big deal in games, or how history is retold for games, or how gamers’ images are being reappropriated in the age of technology? Or how about longer, in-depth features on game consoles, genres and the progress of certain characters and games? And the people behind the industry, where did they come from, how did they change the gaming landscape and the technology?

This and much much more – available on all App Stores and on PocketMags.com.
