PC Format Reviews

PC Format is released monthly by Future Publishing, priced £4.99 with two cover CDs, or £5.99 with a DVD. Having a shiny new DVD drive in my computer, the DVD option is the one I take, as the DVD version usually has some extra software, and they have recently taken to putting DVD only movies on that you can view either on your PC or DVD player. ...

I buy this magazine every month and i think its fab. It reviews loads of games and software in every issue in depth and it also gives you detailed instructions on how to do things such as build your own pc or how to remodel your pc case. They also have a website where you can contact the people who write the magazine, or enter ...

I buy this magazine every month and i think its great. The cover disk is fab with loads of useful stuff on as well as game demos for you to try out. Also they do in depth game reviews and software reviews. They tell you everything thats on the coverdisks and in some cases give you tutorials on how to use the software. They have a range of ...

I was a loyal subscriber to PC Format for many years. I have every issue from #12 to #100, when I started to lose interest in the magazine (the changing of editors started to get to me a little when the format of the magazine kept changing). There are so many aspects to the magazine, which I won't cover in great depth, but ...

I started buying this magazine about 3 years ago. For a long time I would buy a different magazine for one month and another the next. However none of the magazines I read every satisfied me. One month I bought PCFormat and I have never looked back since. The main advantage of PcFormat over many of its competetors is the broad range of ...

I have to admit that I have a real soft spot for PCFormat magazine. The first ever edition came out shortly after I started university on my first computing course (the current edition is its 10th anniversary edition), when floppy disks actually were er...floppy, and I’ve kind of grown up with it in the world of computing, helped ...

PC Format is a great computing magazine. It has a mixture of games reviews and hardware/computer reviews. It has a quite large section with news on the computing world, recent gaming events and new hardware announcements. The magazine has recently been re-designed to a more ‘modern’ style and everything is easy to find. ...

Looks like I am going to do a run of magazine opinions now, I get so many of them I might as well share my experience with you! This is another computing magazine from, you guessed it, Future Publishing!! (Do they have a monopoly or something!) It is very very different to PC Plus (see my other op on this) in that this magazine is really ...

This magazine is terrible, and has been since James Binns left. I am not deluding myself into thinking the old days were the best, as they truely were. In 1997, the magazine was packed with well written... everything. Okay, Wired World was a bit weak, the interviews were -with the sole exception of Richard O'Brian's- boring ...

This is a good magazine that I've beeb reading for over three years. Updated recently, it now hhas a dediacted WWW section, as well as articles on "How to..." and of course games. The major emphasis is on games, but more than average coverage is also given over to all aspects of computing. The help pages ...

Lower your eyes from the ‘special interest’ shelf of a newsagent, and without doubt you will find a whole plethora of computer magazines. Until recent times, magazines devoted to modern technology were invariably games magazines or satellite guides. The explosion in PC technology has a mirrored a similar expansion in the ...

I am not a regular reader of this magazine as at the prices they charge for computer magazines you would have to take out a second mortgage to be a regular subscriber to more than one. However, as PC magazines go, this is one of the longest established in the genre and is generally a very interesting and informative read. For your £4.99 ...

If you only ever buy one PC magazine then this is the one you should buy. One look on the shelves in your local newsagants and you'll be overpowered by the huge range of PC magazines on offer. So why should you buy PC Format instead of one of the many others? Well over the years i've tried many different PC magazines yet still seem to find ...

This is possible one of the best pc magazine ever created. Each edition is packed with huge amounts of information from reviews, previews, and tested hardware. Also every edition comes with one or two cd’s, which are packed with demos, patches and free full software. Sometimes they pull out all the stops and give you load apon lad of free ...

PC Format ---- Love it or hate it! Why should I part with my hard-earned cash for just another poxy PC magazine? PC Format is certainly no ‘poxy PC magazine’! It’s more like a great read with loads of really interesting content. What’s so different about PCF? I’ll try to do the magazine justice with my ...

PC Format, is a magazine for PC users of all levels and uses. Published by Future Publishing, and £4.99 (£5.99 for the DVD edition) a month. This may seem pricey, you save £20 by subscribing for a whole year, which is well worth it as the magazine gets delivered to your door and is cheaper than the shop. So what do you get? Well 2 cover ...

This is a magazine that I heard my son rant and rave about on many an occasion so I thought i'd give it a go and buy a copy as i'd never previously read it before. My own opinion says that my son was a little harsh on it. However I wouldn't buy it again because I don't think it is worth the 5-00 that I paid for it. It has ...

I have been buying PC format for many years now, every since I got my top of the range 486 66Mhz, since then, I have upgraded to a 133 and now a 800MHz Amd athlon Thunderbird. I have found that the magazine has always given me the best reviews of new games and hardware. It's humourous writers do a superb job in persuading me to buy products. ...

The only PC magazine that is worth paying money for because it's informal and entertaining , it's less than £50 for a years subscription ( to the CD version ) and you will get at least one CD/DVD per issue - you can buy the DVD edition for the same price as the CD edition but the content isn't that different as far as the software ...

PC Format has to be one of the, if not the most popular PC magazine on sale in the UK at the moment. It certainly offers value for money. Your £5 gets you a thick glossy mag, well designed, and generally smart and attractive. Perhaps a benefit of buying this magazine is also a disadvantage - it's huge scope. This magazine tries to cover ...
