The Escapist was a gaming and game culture critique zine produced weekly starting in July of 2005, signified by a high sense of art direction and layout. The website itself reflected the same layout as the PDF versions, interviewing major figures from the games industry as well as reknown writers, all in a distinct package.
In July of 2007, to celebrate two years of the magazine, the staff of the Escapist dropped the PDF format and layout in favor of a by-the-numbers graphical style not dissimilar from dozens of other gaming sites, bringing the era of these issues to a close.
