Want to read about the latest exclusives on THQ's WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 for the PSP? Well, HGZine has come out with its latest issue, which includes massive content on the game..

For those who don't know, HGZine is a free videogame magazine downloadable off the GamerZine website. Each issue features more than 40 pages of downloadable content, including gaming articles, embedded videos, multimedia and other interactive elements.

Issue 7 has come out featuring several other games as well, which include: God of War: Chains of Olympus, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Contra 4, Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and many more.

Dave Taylor, the publishing director of HGZine commented on the latest issue saying:

HGZine, like our other free videogames magazines, goes from strength to strength. Issue 7 is a fantastic example of this. It brings on board a new and talented editor, Dean Mortlock. Dean has years of videogames journalistic experience, and he has put together a brilliant issue full of exclusives and probably our best collection yet of interactive screens and video. This makes HGZine probably the most immersive media experience out there for gamers looking for information, and best of all, of course, it’s completely free.

HGZine is downloadable in PDF format and will require the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader 6 to read the file.

Here's another gamerzines.com offering. Since the bigger consoles (360Zine) and PC get a version of the free downloadable magazine made for the DS and PSP called HGZine (short for Handheld GamerZine).

This issue features a number of exclusives including: WipEout Pulse (hands on and developer interview), an interview with Yasuhiro Wada, creator of Harvest Moon, and a sneak peek at Team 17's Worms.

Reportedly, Yasuhiro Wada reveals that a new Harvest Moon set to hit next year and that he thinks Microsoft is working on its own portable gaming device.

Also included are reviews of portable games like Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales, SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 2, Burnout Dominator, and Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops. Publishing director David Taylor had this to say:

Traditionally portable games have been overlooked by the games press. However, gone are the days when the DS and PSP simply get ports of cut-down versions of console games. Now we have exciting new properties like the Brothers In Arms game for DS in this issue or WipEout Pulse, where the game has been designed from the ground up for the device and gamers are now looking for ways to keep up to date with their favourite games on these platforms. HGZine is a great way to do this, with professionally written features and pages enhanced with video and multimedia.

As is usual, you'll need a copy of Adobe Reader version 6 or higher to be able to read the magazine.

Cranberry Publishing Ltd. is responsible for providing free magazines to Xbox 360 gamers (360Zine) and PC enthusiasts (PCGZine). Because of the warm welcome being enjoyed by the two, the publishing company decided to make another one called HGZine for PSP and DS users as well as for mobile phone owners.

The editor of the HGZine is Keith Stuart. Readers of magazine EDGE probably know a lot about him as he previously worked there. Stuart assured future readers that their team is composed of professional games journalists so they can expect editorial values and beautiful, readable design of a print publication. He commented,

As an avid handheld gamer myself, it's great fun to edit a magazine dedicated to DS, PSP and mobile games. They're usually herded to the back of multiformat print mags and never given the attention they deserve. It's time to redress the balance.
