Abstract
Gamestar was a short-lived adult-focused video game magazine by IDG Communications, the publishers of GamePro. The magazine was targered to adult men and featured coverage of movies, music, and electronics, in addition to video games and computer games. Like similar magazines like PC Accelerator, Gamestar was written from an edgy men's perspective that frequently sexualized women and included model photoshoots interspersed throughout the magazine.
The magazine appears to have only run for three issues, discontinuing at the end of 2004.
