Apologies for interrupting our regular stream for a little bit of promotion, I’ll be brief.
[drop]Nextaxis is a new digital magazine, initially available on the iPad. It has just gone live on the AppStore with a free sample for the first issue available right now. That free sample includes a couple of bits that I wrote for the magazine but the full first issue has a lot more, from various contributors. The first full issue will launch very soon and be available from inside this free app.This project has been something I’ve wanted to do for over a year now. It’s not officially a TSA project but obviously I’ve talked to several of the guys about it, taking their advice and guidance along the way. Hopefully you’ll see some of the TSA writers you enjoy cropping up in future issues too.
It’s been hard work, expensive and now nerve wracking to put this together and get it out into public view but it has also made me realise a few things about why I love working with videogames and why the people here at TSA are so important to me.
Please, if you have an iPad and a love of videogames, go to the AppStore now and download the app. Most importantly, spread the word about Nextaxis far and wide, in order to be successful, we need to be seen.
We’re also constantly looking at ways to improve the magazine so your comments and suggestions for our future are much appreciated. As are your positive iTunes reviews!
We’re on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Feel free to say hello!

Best of luck, fella. My only reservation is the logo but it’s a personal preference (as with all design). The content looks good and I think I might “gift” it to my friend when the full issue makes an appearance. :-)
(seeing as I don’t have an iPad) :-)

Teaser was great.
Should it be a standalone app though, or be integrated into the Newsstand?

I thought about that quite hard but it’s easy to switch to Newsstand, not so easy to switch back. So I thought we’d launch like this and see if people requested Newsstand instead.

Just downloaded it and think it looks great. Easy to navigate and very clean presentation. Love the design of the Journey article and the writing as good as ever. Look forward to the full release. Great stuff.

Pity there’s no iPhone version but I wish you luck anyway ;)

TSA just got a new mobile site, so you can still get great writing, formatted for iPhone by hitting this link: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/i
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to output for the iPhone using the tools we use. Believe me, I would if I could, that’s a huge market!

Will be downloading this tonight, looking forward to it.

I’ll be honest and say I won’t be checking it out due to a lack of any portable device bearing a partially eaten apple but I’ll mention it to those that do and I wish you the best of luck with it.
