Gaming magazine's

started on pcformat I think?

pc zone was the golden age - with no internets or money to buy games (I was at school!) 2x floppy disk demos and shareware was a lifeline for gaming
used to play things like syndicate one level demo over and over again
remember being very excited about a massive rebel assult 2 article in a pc zone that was like the only star wars content id had access to for years

pcgamer glory days though was great - massive CD full of doom levels etc (still before interwebs was any use) pcgamer used to be so full of content as well
now you are lucky if there is even 1 proper full blown game for them to review each month. (its a lot slimmer as well)

i still dont think pcgamer take their website seriously, future publishing websites have and still are terrible

I do long for the old days of games being released by the bucket load every month instead of what we have now of "concept" indie games in perpetual beta in their hundreds and 3 full release games (ususally sequels) coming out every november

pcgamer should embrace the website properly with actual articles rather than just uploading one line press releases

So are we all nudging this towards an OCUK magazine or is it just me?

Custom PC is good, but there has been a drop in the amount of content.

Blimy, I've not bought CustomPC for a couple of years and there was not much in it then, so how bad is it now? This is one mag I thought would have died ages ago. The final straw for me was the tedious 16 page case fan test :rolleyes:

and total lack of any humor... just tinder dry geeks
