We know that Ziff Davis, the company that owns sites including 1UP, MyCheats and Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine fell on some hard times recently. Speculation around the web says that UGO is planning to buy the 1UP Network along with most of its properties.

The fate of EGM is still uncertain but it doesn’t help ease our minds to find out that the December 2008 issue of EGM in Spanish, which features The Watchmen: The End is Nigh, will be the last issue.

Adrián Carbajal,  the soon-to-be former editorial director of EGM en Español cited reasons for the magazine’s cancellation on his blog, saying (roughly translated) Ziff Davis wasn’t sure whether the US version of EGM will run for much and didn’t see a reason to pay for a product with an uncertain future.

EGM could follow in the footsteps of Games for Windows magazine by switching its focus to online only instead of vanishing all together.
