The information found in a magazine can pertain to the game itself, its developer, composer, writer, cast, etc. so in (somewhat) chronological order Im looking for:
- Mention: usually just a few words without image(s)
- News: slightly larger segment with or without image(s)
- Release date: mention of the month of (supposed) release (usually incorrect)
- Preview: even larger segment describing some of the gameplay elements
- Advert: a promotional segment for the game, which can have various sizes (sometimes up to 4 pages) and can be game -, release -, developer - or retailer specific.
- Review: a breakdown of (some of) the game elements (graphics, music, gameplay) resulting in a grade (sometimes heavily biassed by personal taste). Reviews can be further categorised into mini -, retro -, budget -, compilation - (SH HD Collection), platform specific - (especially for SH2 and onwards), game specific - (in case of a Director's Cut release) and country specific reviews (due to censored content for example)
-Interview: I think you know what an interview is, still some interviews were taken during the release of a certain game, so they need to be archived accordingly.
-Charts: a ranking position usually presented in a ladder type structure
-Tips, cheats, partial solution or full walkthrough
-Awards: another ranking, usually an annual event from the magazine itself
-Special: usually published in retrospect, often in conjunction with other games in the series
- Other: anything not mentioned above
So basically anything remotely related to the game.
