No more PCZone!

What the cock? PCZone is being cancelled!

I always bought this magazine until the internet made it easy for me to get all the information for free and much more quickly. Why on Earth would they possibly think about cancelling it?

If you are/were a PCZone lover/reader/hater then you have an opportunity to have an effect on the final episode, be it with an article or a mention or with a personal insult in reply to your retarded letter.

You can do it by looking here.

It went downhill when they dumped Culky anyway.
Brooker had this to say: "PC Zone was a cross between Viz and Which? magazine. It never took anything too seriously, least of all itself. It was also where I learned to write, so if you hate my flippant, manic-depressive 'style', blame PC Zone.

"Often the reviews were quite long: you'd have to write four or five pages on Tomb Raider, say, which offered plenty of scope for going off on tangents or penning lengthy nonsensical screeds. There was an attitude of 'anything goes provided it's funny'. It was as much comedy mag as games mag.

"I guess its demise is inevitable. Actually, I'm impressed it lasted as long as it did, given the dominance of consoles, and the sheer wealth of reviews and so forth you can find for free online. The mag itself may have died, but the general tone and character of PC Zone lives on in British gaming sites and forums, and in Ben Croshaw's Zero Punctuation pieces and the like."
