gamesTM and EDGE have some sweet covers

Imagine Publishing's UK multiformat videogames magazine gamesTM has a swish little cover for upcoming PS3 thriller Heavy Rain this month.

For those of you unaware of either of these magazines, I strongly recommend both: The journalistic coverage is always thorough and professional, the game images are always beautiful and both magazines cover the gamut; from the upcoming new releases and the consideration of future hardware right back to retro titles and old-school gaming, what the big commercial publishers and developers are up to and the latest offerings from indie developers and backroom coders.
