Features
The magazine includes multiple feature articles in each issue, covering a wide range of content focussed on the games industry. Generally each issue contains at least one feature devoted to an in-depth preview of an up-and-coming game, including developer interviews and game mechanic exploration, as well as a number of other features of various scale, from interviews to examinations of particular topics.
In addition, each issue features a number of columns by industry figures. From the magazine's inception, every issue contained 'Letter from America' - detailing journalist Gray 'The Shape' Nicholson's his life in America - and 'Kongetsu' - originally written by Japanese correspondent Tim Rogers, but now written by former Electronic Gaming Monthly editor and current Q Entertainment producer James Mielke. Recent issues have also featured a column from former game developer Howard Scott Warshaw. In a recent design overhaul, each column now appears on rotation, once every three months, alongside regular contributor Ryan King. A column written by readers first appeared in issue 62 (November 2007), but was soon dropped due to a lack of submissions.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
