PC Gamer

What is the point of a PC games magazine, it all depends on your point of view. If you are fanatical about games and have to know all the information on a new game as soon as it is available then this is the place to find it. Looking at it from the opposite perspective then it could be seen as a blatant helping hand to the games industry to shift as many copies of their games as possible.

I will endeavour to explain.  Physical facts  PC Gamer ... more

Computer games. They're fun aren't they? You can plant your bum on a chair in front of a screen, and transport yourself away from this big bad world into....well, bigger and badder worlds.

It is very informative with lengthy reviews of up to 6 pages for good games. It normally has about 30 pages of reviews with about 20 games reviewed in each issue.
