This is a list of gaming media contacts I pulled elsewhere from the web (so some may not be correct or outdated). Use at your own discretion. Also, I wouldn't recommend much emailing this week, as the gaming press is worrying about E3 at the moment.

Hi, www.jeuxvideo.com is known in France. People here usually get there before buying a game.
To contact them, go there : http://www.jeuxvideo.com/mailform.php

And also www.jeuxvideo.fr
To contact them : http://www.jeuxvideo.fr/divers/contact.php?rubrique=0

Very nice! I've saved this to my hard drive for future reference.

Have you tried all of them, and what was the response like for each of them?

If there ever were a prime cadidate for a STICKY, this is it! 

As another starting point, check out some of the services out there such as GameRelease and SoftPressRelease (can't speak to their effeciency yet).   It's also a smart idea to compile your own list of people throughout your network of friends/family/colleagues etc who might have interest.  Don't underestimate the power of word of mouth.  If your friends run blogs or post in forums, you can get some free PR.

Make a list in Excel or use YMLP to manage.   The eariler you start doing this the better.   And obviously, Twitter can essentially serve as a mini-press release tool.

If you're game fills a niche or can attract a particular audience, think about stepping outside of the normal channels.  (for example, Angry Barry might have appeal among political minded people - I've seen coverage for that game ALL OVER the place)

Thanks for the list. I guess I'm gonna be really busy when I release my game, trying to get ahold of all these guys and putting skills learned in my one marketting class to good use.

Now there is a list of people that most absolutely, definitely need to see a large collection of photos of my cats wearing cute hats..... Muuuuha ha ha ha

Seriously though,  thanks Arrogancy for putting this list together!  It will prove incredibly useful. 

Cheers
Halfbrick (Mik)

www.meristation.com is the most important Spanish-speaking videogame online magazine, both in Spain and, as far as I know, in Latin America.

Here the contact form.

I guess there's no problem if you write them in English, as they are used to report news from all over the world and cover English-speaking events, such as the E3. Anyway, you need to know some basic Spanish in order to use the contact form. Here it is:

• "Tu nombre" means "Your name".
• "Tu correo electrónico" means "Your e-mail address".
• "Asunto del mensaje" means "Message subject".
• "Cuerpo del mensaje" means "Message body".
• "Enviar" means "Send".
• "Borrar" means "Clear".

Hope this helps.

Nice list and congrats on getting your game out.  When I saw the title I thought there would be just a few links not such a complete job.
