Launched in 1995, Play was the UK's first ever independent PlayStation magazine. Now, more than 12 years on, it is the UK's longest running. In that time it has built a reputation for writing honest, forthright reviews, and delivering its readers the very best cover-exclusives. Now that gamers are gearing up for the next generation of PlayStation hardware, Play is positioned to be the cutting-edge multiformat PlayStation magazine, while retaining the core values that have underpinned the magazine's remarkable success over the years.
