GamePro's Main Sections (as of February 2010)
- Inside: A redesigned table of contents page listing the major pieces and games in the issue.
- From the Editor: A column found at the beginning of the magazine from the editor relating to a feature or big games covered in that month's issue.
- Inbox: User feedback and letter of the month, which is once again at the front of the magazine

- The Bonus Level: A short guide to "essential geek gear", including video game releases, books and game-related items for sale at various websites.
- Features: Any cover stories or featured games/issues that warrant a separate article would be told here.
- Reviews (formerly debuted as "ProReviews"): The reviews format has changed over the years, although the original basic format has remained the same: One reviewer speaks for and about the entire GamePro design team about a particular game. The magazine initially began by giving each system platform its own section of reviews. Near the end of 2005, GamePro had changed this format to have one review for any next-gen game that was developed and then released on more than one system platforms, describing any differences that one system platform may have over another with that particular game, and giving scores for each system platform's versions of the game separately. During 2006, another aspect of the reviews debuted, called "Key Moment", in which the reviewer names one particular instance or a standout piece of the game to them that had made them make the decision they made in a short, one sentence description. "Key Moment" was eventually replaced by "Pros" and "Cons", found with the review score, which briefly list any issues that stand out with the game, both good and bad. Games are rated out of 5 stars.
- Parting Shot: With the major overhaul of the magazine which began from the February 2010 issue onwards, Opening Shots was since dropped, and Parting Shot went from being an art of a particular game showcased at the back of the magazine, to a look back at the issue of GamePro that debuted that month 10 years ago.

Famous quotes containing the words main, sections and/or february:
“The three main medieval points of view regarding universals are designated by historians as realism, conceptualism, and nominalism. Essentially these same three doctrines reappear in twentieth-century surveys of the philosophy of mathematics under the new names logicism, intuitionism, and formalism.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“That we can come here today and in the presence of thousands and tens of thousands of the survivors of the gallant army of Northern Virginia and their descendants, establish such an enduring monument by their hospitable welcome and acclaim, is conclusive proof of the uniting of the sections, and a universal confession that all that was done was well done, that the battle had to be fought, that the sections had to be tried, but that in the end, the result has inured to the common benefit of all.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“If a man is a good lawyer, a good physician, a good engineer ... he may be a fool in every other capacity. But no deficiency or mistake of judgment is forgiven to a woman ... and should she fail anywhere, if she has any scientific attainment, or artistic faculty, instead of standing her interest as an excuse, it is censured as an aggravation and offence.”
—E.P.P., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Una, p. 28 ( February 1855)
