''Hyper'' is a multi-platform Australian video game magazine. Australia's longest running gaming magazine, it has been in publication since 1993. It is currently edited by Daniel Wilks. ''Hypers sister magazine is the PC game-oriented ''PC PowerPlay'', also published by Next Media. ==History== ''Hyper'' was launched in 1993 by Next Media with Stuart Clarke in the editor's seat. Clarke had previously edited Megazone, a multi-platform magazine published by Sega Ozisoft. When Clarke left Megazone and the title became defunct, he was asked by Next Media publisher, Phil Keir, to start a new multi-platform gaming magazine. Clarke recounted the events in Hyper's 100th issue:
On April 28, 2010, Hyper Magazine released its 200th issue. Daniel Wilks was the then editor of Hyper since 2007 and the 200th issue was his last. He then passed the baton onto deputy editor Darren Wells, after the success of the 200th issue release.
The launch issue of the magazine was created in two months with Clarke as editor, Andrew Humphreys as deputy editor, and Aaron Rogers as art director. Despite numerous competitors entering the market at various stages, such as ACP's Gamestar, Australian GamePro, and the relaunched Megazone, all these titles folded within 12 months of launch while Hyper remained a strong title. Since its inception, Hyper has developed and maintained a reputation for being independent and honest with its readers. It is known for its irreverent sense of humour and both entertaining and informative features, reviews, and previews. As of July 2013, Hyper has 1451 fans on Facebook〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hyper Magazine )〕 and 987 followers on Twitter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hyper Magazine (Hyper Magazine) on Twitter )〕 Next Media announced in late 2014 that Hyper would become a quarterly publication from 2015 onwards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hyper Magazine to go quarterly )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyper (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
