Oyungezer is a Turkish video game magazine published monthly.

History

Oyungezer was launched by the former editors of the Turkish edition of

LeveL. The editors, after spending a month in recluse, announced the launch of the Oyungezer website and its subsequent forums, with the first issue released in November 2007.[citation needed

It sold roughly 7,000 copies upon release, which was a record for a first-time issue of a gaming magazine.[1]

Sections

Oyungezer has five distinct sections separated by content:

  • A preview section titled 360 drc, edited by Furkan Faruk Akıncı, which focuses on the major new releases of the month.
  • A strategy guide edited by the Güven brothers, which offers tips and information concerning a particular game.
  • Ekran Dışı (Out of the Screen), an entertainment section edited by Damla Pınar Gök. It reviews recently released non-gaming entertainment products, mostly consisting of book, album, and movie reviews. It also hosts reader mail-ins, editor columns, and famed editor Göktuğ Yüksel's personal N.E.M. page.
  • Organize Sanayi (Organized Industry), a section focused on hardware.
  • Pixel, a retro gaming-focused section.
