If you have a game you want to demo, let the instructors know and we'll arrange it!
The Game Developer Magazine is available digitally via the GT library (http://www.library.gatech.edu/). From the library website, simply do a "quick catalog search" for "game developer." Next, click "get fulltext copy." You will probably be asked to log in with your GT account here. After that, select your preferred archive. Finally, select the issue you want, or do a search on the magazine.
