The humor is about Maxim level, which is to say it's bad, but not wrist slittingly Coconut Monkey bad, and it still trumps anything ever written by a Mysterio.


The humor might not be terrible, but you have to put up with it for most of the review. They try to say how fucking queer the game is, but handicap themselves by not using the words "fuck" or "queer" and just make a mess of things. Their metaphors for how a game is "like a fancy lad twirling his tweed hat 'round his finger with a twist in his wrist and a bounce in his step" get even longer when they have to come up with a new one for every single dragonball game they review. And there are millions. Literally millions.

I haven't gotten a PC Gamer since the airlines stopped trading subscriptions for frequent flier miles so this might be out of date, but i dont remember them really trying to be funny. The chiken buket week! whatever and coconut monkey editorials were gay and all but its not like they're in the middle of a review.

The only thing GI has going for it is the exclusives they somehow manage to get. Snoop Dog: The Game i could care less about, but how the christ were these faggots allowed to break the San Andreas story? I also hate the little reviewer op/ed page at the front. With a passion. I know im supposed to skip it like everyone else but i can only read the back of the kleenex box so many times.

The Raging Retard *insert headshot of reviewer making wacky face to disguise ugly*

Likes: some gay movie, Japan, an old ass game for pretend cred - lets say Herzog Zwei, that hot new indie rawk band i just saw down the street that you've never heard of because their so small but I'll tell you about them anyways

Dislikes: Reality Shows (Boo!), my new car (Don't ask!), Mean people :(


One month they all put The Office in their Likes column.
