Oyungezer is a Turkish video game magazine published monthly.

History

Oyungezer was launched by the former editors of the Turkish edition of LeveL. The editors, after spending a month in recluse, announced the launch of the Oyungezer website and its subsequent forums, with the first issue released in November 2007.^{[citation needed]}

It sold roughly 7,000 copies upon release, which was a record for a first-time issue of a gaming magazine.^[1]

Sections

Oyungezer has five distinct sections separated by content:

• A preview section titled 360 drc, edited by Furkan Faruk Akıncı, which focuses on the major new releases of the month.
• A strategy guide edited by the Güven brothers, which offers tips and information concerning a particular game.
• Ekran Dışı (Out of the Screen), an entertainment section edited by Damla Pınar Gök. It reviews recently released non-gaming entertainment products, mostly consisting of book, album, and movie reviews. It also hosts reader mail-ins, editor columns, and famed editor Göktuğ Yüksel's personal N.E.M. page.
• Organize Sanayi (Organized Industry), a section focused on hardware.
• Pixel, a retro gaming-focused section.

SETİ Yapım ve Yayıncılık has also undertaken the content management of TTNET Oyun, a digital video game distribution platform created by the leading internet service provider in Turkey, Türk Telekom. SETİ's other projects (all spearheaded by Oyungezer) include The Game, a gaming lobby at the Point Hotel Barbaros in Istanbul, METUTECH-ATOM, a video game development center placed inside the METU and the Electronic Sports League.^{[citation needed]}
