The print magazine was [[Incredibly Lame Pun|folded]] in 2004 after it changed publishers for a second time, in favour of continuing to run [[Games Master]] magazine, which was trouncing it in terms of sales. At 23 years, this made it one of the longest-running videogame magazines in the world, just beaten by the now-defunct [[Computer Gaming World]] before its demise, and only overtaken by Famitsu as of 2009.
In 2008, a small series of special editions, under the series ''CVG Presents...'' hit news stands, generally dedicated to single games, but occasionally featuring a number of [[Strategy Guide|guides]] instead.▼
Despite this, the magazine's website [http://www.computerandvideogames.com/ ComputerAndVideoGames.com] however, is went strong for a little longer, and served as a more news-and-reviews-orientated counterpart to the same company's [[Games Radar]] and [http://www.next-gen.biz/ Edge Online], although features predominantly recycled content from the publisher's print portfolio.▼
