Does a technical magazine on games programming exist?

What I'm interested in is a magazine like Dr Dobbs but dedicated to gaming
issues.

Would people be interested in such a publication?

How much would people be willing to pay for a 1 year quarterly publication of
this type?  How about a monthly?

Would people prefer an electronic publication or a printed publication?(Both?)


Please feel free to send comments to me, John Talley

The Journal Of Computer Game Design has been published for
about five years now.  As you might have guessed, it is
geared toward the design and philisophical side of things.
There are also occasional articles about various techniques
and algorithms, but not many.

The technical side of game programming isn't all that
much different from any other sort of real-time programming,
which would explain its lack of coverage.
