Computer Game Review Cover of June 1996 issue Categories Video and computer game magazine Frequency Monthly Publisher Sendai Publishing Founded 1991 Final issue 1996 Country United States Language English ISSN 1062-113X

***Computer Game Review*** was a print monthly magazine covering both computer gaming and video gaming. The magazine was started in 1991.[1] Also known as ***Computer Game Review and 16-Bit Entertainment***, and then later as ***Computer Game Review and CD-Rom Entertainment***. The headquarters of the magazine which was part of Sendai Publication Group was in [Lombard, Illinois](/source/Lombard%2C_Illinois).[2][3]

Reviews typically consisted of a short, impartial synopsis of plot and gameplay, with separate scores assigned subjectively by each of three reviewers. Games were rated out of 100, and if the game received a high enough ranking it would receive either a Platinum or Golden Triad Award.

The magazine folded in 1996, when Sendai Media Group was bought by [Ziff-Davis](/source/Ziff-Davis), owner of the competing *[Computer Gaming World](/source/Computer_Gaming_World)*.[3]
