PC Gamer Magazine Subscription

Pros: Interesting reviews and columns, irreverent
Cons: Timeliness of news, negative reviews aren't as funny as they used to be

PC Gamer $7.99 / $9.99 CDN (with the demo CD). They used to have an edition on the newsstand for $3.99 US that didn't have the CD, but I don't know if that exists anymore. I haven't seen it recently. With the rise of the Internet, the need ...

Pros: Magazine is on-line
Cons: Department Management and Notification Procedures

While everybody and their brother highly rates this magazine based on content, I must take the opportunity to bash the management and its advertising tactics.

When you surf across PC Gamers web site, you cannot help but be impressed--sharp...

Pros: Several game demos on the CD and great reviews/strategies.
Cons: None really......except for the current $29.95 subscription rate for 1 year.

PC Gamer is by far one of the better magazines devoted to PC games out there.

In each jam-packed issue there are tons of reviews of currently released games and for future releases. I've based several purchases of games on this magazine...

Pros: Excellent news reports; In depth feature articles; Good hardware-related articles
Cons: Steep subscription price; Biased reviews; Mediocre writers

There are many pc game magazines on the market that try to lure readers in with scantily clad women on the covers, claims of exclusive stories that have already shown up in other magazines, and catchy articles like the “10 sexiest games ever.” However, ...

Pros: High-quality screenshots.
Cons: Very poor reviews, little extra stuff.

It is amazing how people can adjust to worse conditions. While one of the proudest magazines in the computer gaming industry kept losing on content and credibility and while its reviews got more and more dated, the sales remained at roughly the same...

Pros: Well written, detailed and informative articles. Great demo CD.
Cons: None that are obvious.

Of the 'big three' computer gaming magazines, I would have to recommend "PC Gamer" as the best. Its articles aren't as good as those in "Computer Gaming World", but they are close, and make up for it in other ways. I find the magazine to definitely be...

Pros: Great reviews, good content, and is great for the target audience.
Cons: Ads consist of about half of the magazine. Much shorter than it used to be.

PC Gamer has changed a lot over the years. As I look at one of my first issues and compare it to the issue I just received a couple of days ago, the quality has gone down a lot.

About 3 years ago, PC Gamer spanned 300 pages, about 2/3 ads,...

Pros: Informative, accurate, honest articles. Entertaining demo disc.
Cons: A bit expensive.

PC Gamer has insightful reviews, interesting previews, and well written articles. It also comes with a very entertaining demo disk filled with todays newest, hottest games.

The main reason I am a subscriber to PC Gamer is that I find the...

Pros: Only $25 per year, Well designed, Good reviews and features
Cons: Alot of ADs

PC Gamer is one of the oldest gaming magazines on the market. I have been a subscriber for about 3 years now, and it seems like every month, I await anxiously my new issue. PC gamer is also quite a respected source. Their awards are often seen posted on...

Pros: The wittiest, deepest, richest most BS-free mag on the planet
Cons: A few too many ads...a note of warning: the humor is often a PG-13 at least

My love of PC Gamer is completely reflected in my love of Epinions, and so it is very fitting that I am reviewing PCG here. The connection between these two sources of information is deeper than fact. Both PCG and Epinions share a valuable asset:...

Pros: concise overview of recent games, well described tests, demos included (CD)
Cons: the only real gamer magazine for PC in the US

Ever since I have been to the UK and Barnes and Noble (or whatever distributor of foreign magazines) carry British computer magazines, the deal on PC-Gamer seems a little less sweet. What am I talking about? Well, did you ever try to find ONE magazine...

Pros: great magazine, great cds
Cons: short, really needs 2 cds, a lot of restructuring is going on, old team of editors was a little bit better

Before I begin, I would like to say that I am an avid subscriber of PC Gamer. It is a great magazine. It is also the world's best selling magazine as it proudly proclaims on the cover. The reason I buy this magazine because of its writing. This magazine...

Pros: Honest reviews, Game Cd-rom
Cons: Lots of ads

It deserves the label "World's Best-Selling PC Games Magazine". Every issue has a CD-rom with games on it. The news-stand price($7.99) may be the only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars, but a subscription reduces the per-issue-cost to...

Pros: Price, Quality
Cons: None :)

Very infrequently does the world see a magazine like PC Gamer. Reviews are to the point, matter-of-fact, and honest. Readers don't feel like they are reading a great review only because a few pages later there is a full page ad for the game itself.
...

Pros: Great demos, previews, reviews, and title
Cons: Expensive, long and boring, not funny, stupid mascot

PC Gamer never said they were the best PC magazine, they merely said they were the best selling. One of the reasons this mag has been kept running is because of one of its best qualities, honesty. They don't brag or anything, they simply do what...
