WELCOME TO BRITAIN'S BEST-SELLING PC GAMES MAGAZINE.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Like the queue for the biggest rollercoaster on August bank holiday, the wait for THEME PARK WORLD has seemed like an eternity. But the EXCLUSIVE REVIEW is here, live and direct in the very special Christmas issue of PC GAMER. Is it everything we hoped it would be? There's only one way to find out...
But - blimey - who's that muscling his way onto the cover? None other than DUKE NUKEM FOREVER! In an incredible act of investigative journalism, we sent our two best spies (okay, Kieron and the InfoFly) on the trail of the Duke, and they tracked down some incredible screenshots, information and the gospel according to 3D Realms. One of the biggest games of next year, only in PC GAMER!
The 3D card market has exploded! We test the year's best offerings and tell you, in no uncertain terms, what should be in your Christmas stocking. Benchmarks, price guides, performance - it's all here, in plain English. Well, nearly.
The REVIEWS section is bursting at the seams. Check it out: FIFA 2000, FREESPACE 2, THE NOMAD SOUL, PHARAOH, RAYMAN 2, SEGA RALLY 2, SUPREME SNOWBOARDING, TRICKSTYLE, URBAN CHAOS... Over 35 pages of definitive GAMER judgement. Don't buy a new game without us!
How about some PREVIEWS, eh? We've got them coming out of our collective ears. How about first shots and info on HALO, REPUBLIC, and HITMAN? Or how about all the latest updates on INDIANA JONES, MDK2, PLANESCAPE:TORMENT, THE SIMS, SLAVE ZERO, SOLDIER OF FORTUNE and THE WHEEL OF TIME? Can you handle it?
If your head hasn't exploded with joy yet, you'll be able to enjoy our juicy pair of discs. CD GAMER 1 is stuffed to the gills with playable demos including TOMB RAIDER: THE LAST REVELATION, TRICKSTYLE and SID MEIER'S ALIEN CROSSFIRE. There's also the best ever single-player episode we've seen for HALF-LIFE: ETC. The second disc is home to just one thing: a complete Quake II mission pack! Yes! Oblivion is only available on PC GAMER, and features a total of 26 new maps, five new monsters and seven new weapons.
Our supreme Guidelines section this month features the first part of our comprehensive, mission-by-mission guide to Grand Theft Auto 2. There's also the third and final part of our Hidden And Dangerous guide, and a complete walkthrough to Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear.
Oh yes: and we've got a jolly good Web site. It's at www.pcgamer.co.uk So go there. Then buy the magazine.
