SquareGo Magazine is an independent publication founded in Scotland in 2006 which reports on video game news, reviews and previews.

SquareGo originated as an offshoot from the The Skinny (magazine)'s Digital Section. Due to a lack of available space in the Magazine's pages, The Skinny's Digital Editor Josh Wilson, started up a spin-off magazine with the aim of providing The Skinny's digital coverage but also with the required space to further cover the Games Industry.
In August 2008, SquareGo separated amicably all business links with The Skinny (magazine).
The website appeared online on 10 May 2006 as Fidget Magazine, but by August the name had been changed to SquareGo. The original paper edition of the magazine was published from August 2007 every calendar month until August 2008, featuring wraparound covers varying in subject from titles such as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to Fallout 3.
In February 2009, SquareGo entered into a distribution deal with retail company Gamestation, to provide copies of the magazine in all Scottish branches of the store [1]
The Website took over in earnest after August 2007 and has grown exponentially over the years to over 30,000 weekly hits.
In addition to reviews, First Impression, and Hands-On previews, The magazine also regularly publishes several standard types of featured articles.
On the 7th November 2010 SquareGo was named Computer and Video Games's Site of the Week. [2]
On 21st July 2011 SquareGo was named the 26th Best Website in Scotland by The List (magazine). [3]
