Question

What PC magazine would you lot recommend I purchase. I'm not after one that specialises in the one area I'm more after something that covers everything eg latest games release, hardware tests, OS hints and tips.

Is there a monthly publication that does this??

PCW and PCPro are the two I buy. More of a techie tilt to these.

I would suggest you get one of these then a gaming mag seperately.

Cheers

OK bought PC World. This is what I was looking for, cheers

Loved the article on 25 years of PC world. Tracing the timeline from Spectrum to Atari ST to Pentium. Ah the memories. I've still got my rubber keyed Spectrum up the loft in my parents house.

Somebody once said something about information being worth what you've paid for it...

Been reading PCZone for >6-7 years.
Good fun, and quite adult, really.

Has games, and game-related hardware reviews down pat.
