elTee Posted September 8, 2002 Posted September 8, 2002 PC Gamer kicks ass. They love LucasArts too. At least, they used to.
JollyRoger Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 i used to get pcgamer, and i liked it a lot. i'm just not as into pc games as i once was
Acrylic Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 I get PSM (100% unofficial Playstation Magazine)
GendoTheGreat Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 PC Gamer gave me They Hunger, so they're ok by me.
Ryback Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 PC Gamer UK edition (even if their design sucks nowadays).
Alien426 Posted September 9, 2002 Author Posted September 9, 2002 Originally posted by LucasTones [PC Gamer] love LucasArts I don't care if they love LucasArts. All I want is fair, unbiased, fun to read reviews. I got They Hunger from the web. But if you mean that they paid Neil Manke for creating it (and some other map packs) then I've gotta say that was a nice thing to do. If you had the opportunity to read a magazine like the German GameStar then both PC Gamer and CGW look quite wimpy. It is bigger in size and page count. It's got a DVD instead of CD-ROM (yet you can get versions with CD or without). Its web site has tons of information and downloads. And the verdict holds an amount of information that defies any description. Originally posted by QueZTone and jannar85 LUCASARTS INSIDER! If you mean the e-mail newsletter: I get that already.
elTee Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 PC Gamer UK has a DVD edition. And when I say they love LucasArts, I mean that they appreciate the adventure game genre, and if a game is good then they mark it highly.
Alien426 Posted September 9, 2002 Author Posted September 9, 2002 Originally posted by LucasTones ...they appreciate the adventure game genre... I like their often used sentence "We've read elsewhere that the 'adventure genre' was dead."
scabb Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 PC Gamer are overly generous in terms of dishing out percentages for adventure games - well - any game really. But I did used to enjoy it, it has an excellent demo disc with catologued Reviews & Walkthroughs, some interesting tips for tweaking performance, and it is a good news source. But it's £5. I mean, £5. With £5 I can buy Broken Sword. With £5 I can buy 500 penny chews. With £5 I can buy 16 Mars Bars and still have change.

Alien426 Posted September 10, 2002 Author Posted September 10, 2002 PC Zone: A link woulda been mighty nice. I guess you didn't mean http://www.pczone.nl since you both are from the UK. Besides, I don't want to learn a new language just to be able to read a PC mag. 13 issues cost 62 £ = 99 € (about 96$)! Holy cripes!
Gabez Posted September 10, 2002 Posted September 10, 2002 http://www.pczone.co.uk/ But to be honest I don't think much of their site. It's got a million frames, and doesn't reflect the content of the mag much.

GendoTheGreat Posted September 11, 2002 Posted September 11, 2002 PC Gamer is also about to put out my second favourite Half-Life TC, Heart of Evil , which I was lucky enough to be a beta-tester for. The mod is the work of Nathan Ruck, who some may remember was responisble for a nifty op4 mod entitled Little Skyscraper of Horrors.
Alien426 Posted September 11, 2002 Author Posted September 11, 2002 Still fairly high prize. Plus, I live 'overseas'. And like Gabez said - contrary to other mags' sites - you can't see what you gets. I was there before making my last post and thought it was just a site, without a mag behind it. Whatever happened to the This Month's Issue button on gaming mag sites?

Hellbeard Posted September 11, 2002 Posted September 11, 2002 Well in canada, it is 50$ for a bloody 12 issue subscription!
