I just picked up Imagine FX #6 a couple weeks ago. Very nice magazine, but the CD only has project based stuff I think. The CD wasn't worth it to me, but the magazine itself is very nice.

I like 3D World. I have picked up a few issues of that here and there. I like when they include models. Free software is cool, but it's always either stripped down, or an old version. Getting models for free is worth it, on top of the magazine.
