Couldn't get rid of the Tom Cruise edition for love nor money last month though...

Regarding this closure, I haven't visited CVG for ages and the last time I visited Gamesradar it was Americanised to strawberry float. Haven't seen much of Kotaku UK other than from a few links posted on Twitter.

I read gamesradar a fair bit but in the last few months it appears to have descended into 10 GAME SECRETS YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE!!! Territory.
More of Future's proposed cuts to its games department are coming to light.
The entire games portfolio is set to lose 13 members from its 51-strong team.
And the websites of Edge, OXM, ONM and OPM could be closed. This was assumed yesterday when we discovered that CVG faces closure and that Kotaku UK, PC Gamer and Gamesradar would be the only surviving online brands.
What's more, the company's games print publications in London faces a proposed moved to Bath. This includes OXM, ONM plus other entertainment brands such as Total Film and T3.
