* When the game ''GT Advance Championship Racing'' was sent in for review, the magazine praised it, rating it 9, 9 and 8.5, and awarding it a Silver Award. However, right before release, THQ ended up removing the save battery feature and replaced it with a much-maligned password system; When EGM got word, in a following issue they rescored the game (8.5, 8 and 7 respectively) and ended up revoking the Silver Award, possibly the first time in the magazine's history such was done.

* Twice in its history, EGM was faced with a major advertiser threatening to pull ads from the magazine for less-than-favorable reviews: Acclaim pulled the threat over a scathing review of ''Total Recall'' for the NES, while Capcom did the same for a less-than-stellar review of ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' for the SNES. Both times, EGM told the threatening party essentially the same thing: "You can pull your ads, but you can't buy a good review from us." Despite pulling ads for a brief time, both companies eventually ran ads in the magazine after the controversies died down.
