PC Gaming World

This is a rather overpriced magazine for what you get. Sure it has demo's, commonly two and occasionally three of them. But most of the games on that demo are very cheap games you wouldn't pay more than a fiver for, with maybe one great new game the competitors had last month.

You are probably wondering why I have described the title of the magazine as ironic well its name tries to give the opinion that it is a very large magazine which covers the entire world of PC gaming and suggests a broader picture than other magazines.

PCGW is the only PC magazine I buy. The reason being that it is the best. You get two free CD's or a DVD which are full of the latest game demos, utilities, preview vidios, storylines and more. The previews and reviews are great, well worded and fun to read. The team on the magazine are a good bunch and know what the reader wants to hear. There is also guides on hardware and a PC buyer guide which is very good and worth a look. There are software tips and lettters that are helpful aswell as charts and the latest realese dates. Coupled together with their website(www.pcgw.co.uk) this is my one stop site for everything to do with PC games. ...  Read the complete review
