Checkpoint

Part of the Magdoos Media Limited portfolio, Checkpoint is a evidence-backed evolving knowledge base which uses videogames as its vehicle. Its output was created to take video game reporting to the next level, making it relevant, interesting and anchoring it in real world news. Checkpoint Magazine is the flagship platform, but since launching, Checkpoint delivers original podcasts, bedtime stories, kids magazine and learning resources for school children too. Offering a multitude of platforms to explore, Checkpoint addresses the cross-section of gaming cultural wealth with wider issues which include, but not limited to, education, politics, society and culture. Supported by academic evidence and research based knowledge, Checkpoint is the hub for understanding, communicating and implementing meaningful change through the truly ubiquitous medium of gaming. Checkpoint was founded by Tamer Asfahani with a vision to provide global audiences with a more sophisticated look at the industry. Describing the magazine as “a games magazine for grown ups”, Asfahani hopes it will allow readers to not only enjoy the most up-to-date gaming news, but also to question some bigger themes around gaming.
