Maxim is nothing more than a no-nipple Playboy for retarded brosef fratboys. PCXL makes Maxim look like the The Illiad by comparison.
First off, I'm glad that PC Gamer found a way to get everyone to take the Fragdolls seriously as gamers by featuring 10 pages of them dressed like they work at Hooters. Also making me joyous is seeing yet another retrospective of how awesome E3 was when strippers and other serious models outnumbered attendees.
As far as useful information, the only part of the publication that was helpful was somewhere in their Games & Tech section when they listed parts for building a $1337 (lol, leet, get it???) gaming system and did a comparison of CPUs and graphics cards. Demystifying water cooling was made even more awesome by making sure a wet chick was involved.
Most of the rest of the magazine is filled with "how to spend 10 dollars on 58 different pieces of plastic". Oh, and Ogre Battle and Summoner Geeks are worth checking out on YouTube. If you're reaching that far back, you may as well view some All Your Base and maybe the Star Wars Kid. Again.
Speaking of reaching far back, who really cares what the "Gamer Gods" are doing now? Sure Stevie Case may be "old and busted" but somehow I doubt we'll ever see Jade Raymond doing photo shoots for the all-nipple version of Playboy.
"Hay guys! Here's a whole bunch of stuff that should be in PC Gamer but since we wanted to add boobs (without nipples) we spun it off into yet another print dinosaur. Guys?"
I like PC Gamer. I think they are good people and publish a good magazine. Sadly, they may have jumped the shark with PCXL. They're better than this and are looking desperate in their battle with online sources. Leave Maxim-style magazines to drunken brosef fratboys.
And maybe next time, interview the Fragdolls with their clothes on.
