New Look Australian GamePro With the next generation of consoles upon us it is time for a next-generation Australian GamePro. We have changed the format of the magazine slightly, but given the look a whole new facelift. And if checking out the changes is not enough incentive to get your hands on the magazine, we are also giving away over $6,300 prizes and delivering the following awesome content.

News: All the important games industry news and gossip. Including the latest on Far Cry successor Crysis, the Nintendo DS Lite, Microsoft's handheld machine, Marc Ecko getting banned, some mobile game reviews, Sony's big sequels, the Interactive Entertainment Association of Australia Awards and stacks more!

Survey: To make sure we take GamePro in the right direction in the coming issues we want to know exactly what our readers want: plus, we have an Xbox 360 console with four awesome games to give away to a lucky respondent.

Hot Topic: This new section of the magazine focuses on a burning issue in the games industry and we chat to the parties involved. This month it is the StarForce Anti-Piracy debacle - it could be on your computer right now!

ProSetup: Another new section, we get you totally prepped for your gaming experiences.
