Editing GamePro (section)

=== Retired sections ===
* '''Opening Shots/Parting Shot:''' Use of higher quality HD images and bigger, more detailed screen shots throughout the magazine. "Opening Shots" is a new screen grab gallery at the front of the magazine, while "Parting Shot" is art from a game showcased at the back of the magazine.
* '''The Hub:''' Section dedicated to the Gamepro.com online community. Back of the magazine highlights of reader reviews, comments, new "Ask the Pros" question of the month, community leaders profile highlights, featured forum threads and the new Head2Head: User feedback and letter of the month. Every week, the Hub gets a new Featured Member.
** '''Ask The Pros:''' Returns from the past in this new, online version of user submitted question (online) and answered by the editor of relative expertise.
** '''Head2Head:''' User feedback and letter of the month return to new subsection in rear of each issue.
* '''Previews (formerly known as "Short ProShots" and then "Sneak Previews"):''' A peek at games in development, telling of the projected release dates of games and what to expect out of them. When this column first appeared, it was in the back of the magazine, with only minuscule information. In 1996, it was moved to the front of the magazine after the features. It was shortly after the rearranging in 1996 that ''GamePro'' started a new approach to the previews, labeling previews as either "First Look", where they may have only seen a video and only had information on storyline and features in the game, and "Hands-On", where the editor providing the preview got to play an early build of the game and described any first impressions of the game. Also added for a short time in 1996 was a "percent complete bar" graphic that noted how far along the game was. This graphic was dropped in 1999 during the 10th Anniversary redesign.
* '''Games To Go:''' Reviews and previews of games for portable game systems.
* '''The Sports Page:''' Previews and reviews of sports games. When this section debuted in 1993, each review and preview got its own "headline" to give the section a newspaper feel. By the end of 1996, the newspaper-style headlines were only used for one or two reviews each issue and never for previews, and they were dropped entirely in 1999 for the 10th Anniversary redesign. This section was also the first section to have the "multiplatform game review" tactic described above, in 2003.
* '''Role Players Realm:''' Reviews, previews, and walkthroughs of [[Role-playing video game|role playing games]] (RPGs). Often a walkthrough for a game would be serialized across two or three issues. During slow months for RPGs, the section would be padded with fantasy-themed video games from other genres.
* '''Code Vault (formerly "C.S.A.T. Pro"):''' Video game cheats, strategies, tactics, tips, secrets and easter eggs revealed. Both game companies and readers sent in submissions for this section, with a random prize to the reader who sent in the best tip (usually a game). When this section debuted as C.S.A.T. Pro, C.S.A.T. stood for "Cheats, Strategies and Tactics". In 2002 this feature was renamed "Code Vault" so as to match the name of ''Gamepro''{{'}}s short-lived cheat-code spinoff magazines.
* '''Head-2-Head (formerly known as "The Mail"):''' A [[letters to the editor]] section. They began doing a "Letter Of The Month" special in 2004, with the winning letter's author winning a particular prize. This section had begun to feature a Reader Review from their website on a particular game as a way to entice other readers to visit their site and do the same. Throughout the magazine's lifespan, this section was in the front of the magazine. However, as of April 2007's redesign, the section has been moved to the back of the magazine.
* '''Buyers Beware:''' A consumer advocacy section in which readers send in complaints about defective and malfunctioning games, peripherals, systems, and the like. ''Gamepro'' was the only publication to feature such a column.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}} Every once in a while, the column steered away from its usual formula to feature a current widespread issue. Whenever possible, ''GamePro'' contacted the relevant game company and a company representative would directly answer the reader's query, sometimes with the editor putting in additional advice or critical comments if he considered the company's response inadequate. This was the only ''Gamepro'' column to be authored by the same editor since its debut in 1994: The Watch Dog. This section migrated onto Gamepro.com as of the April 2007 redesign, and was seemingly dropped from the print magazine.
* '''ProNews:''' ''Gamepro''{{'}}s news section. This section first appeared in the back of the magazine after the reviews, but found its way to the front of the magazine in 1996 to follow suit with other game magazines. This section has shape-shifted over the years to include various "game watches", a random quote generation sidebar called "Static" that seemingly disappeared after 2003. Gamepro Labs, which used to be a separate column, then appeared as a part of this section.
* '''Hot At The Arcades:''' Previews and reviews of cabinet arcade games. This section appeared regularly for about 5 years after the magazine debuted. The section still appeared every now and again, but was absent for the most part since 1997 due to the steady decline of arcades. This section was at times folded into the Pro news section.
* '''Overseas Prospects:''' Import games were featured and sometimes reviewed. This section is still in the magazine, but appears only rarely.
* '''Video Game Survival Guide:''' Originally titled "16-Bit Survival Guide" when the [[Super NES]] and [[Sega Genesis|Genesis]] were on the last year of their respective runs, to review those games that were still being released for the systems. This was changed to reflect other game systems that were close to, or even past, the end of their commercial lifespan.
* '''Adventures of Gamepro:''' The Adventures of Gamepro was a comic strip run in the early issues of the magazine detailing the adventures of a superhero named after the magazine. He was a gamer drawn into the realm of video games to fight off evil creatures taking over game after game called the Evil Darklings.
