If you are interested in videogames I recommend to check out the following sources. I am sure, over time, the content on this page will constantly expand.
Books
Yes, there are still books in our world... and some of them are actually really good. You should check out some of the titles if you have the chance.

Magazines
Do you still read videogame magazines? Great, cause they are an important and traditional source of information about this field. Here are some I frequently ready and want to recommend to you.
Consol.at - Das österreichische Videospiele-Magazin
check out online at: www.consol.at
Gamers.at - Das österreichische PC-Spielemagazin
check out online at: www.gamers.at
UNFORTUNATELY BOTH MAGAZINES HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN! SADLY KIDS NOWADAYS ARE NOT TOO MUCH INTERESTED IN READING ABOUT GAMES... THESE ENTRIES WILL STAY AS A TESTIMONY TO AN OUTDATED SERVICE FOR VIDEOGAMERS THAT GREW UP WITH GAME MAGAZINES AND NOT WITH YOUTUBE.
