I've been a subscriber before, but let it lapse -- the amazon promo for -$10 got me to renew for 2 more years

I have been getting this magazine off and on for 10 years now and I recently let my subscription expire. The articles and reviews are very well done and are very humorous. The reason I stopped getting it was because it seemed like every other page was an advertisement and not content. Except for the main cover article you will have to read a page, flip a page just to finish a story. This magazine used to have quality and quantity but the quantity is strating to fall.

This magazine is okay. There are things about it, however, which are downright awful. As an example, they often put "racy" pictures in the magazine - not nudity, but this magazine is NOT appropriate for young people. I have kids, and so I can't leave this lying around. It's really too bad. It's just low-class lazy graphics work (not college degree print-design quality).
Also, I don't want the CD. It's worthless. For example - they put a DEMO for "Ghost Recon" - a 5-year old game on the disc once! Hahah. It's not worth ten cents. Give us a discount for a subscription WITHOUT the stupid CD. Nobody wants the CD - drop the price, and stop shipping the stupid coaster.

I only have one issue so far, but it seems to be geared towards adult games. This makes it pretty much useless for my 14-year-old son that I bought it for. At least it was cheap.

I've read PC Gamer for years and years, subscribing on and off and buying them on the newsstand. I remember when they used to be almost half an inch thick, especially around the holidays, full of information on upcoming games, multi-page reviews, a large hardware section, demos and previews and custom programs on the discs, etc. These days they are very thin with very little content. The reviews are short and the previews read like a press release from the developer full of hyperbole and gushing enthusiasm even when the product may be a year away from launching. The hardware section has gotten smaller and smaller and these days you're lucky to see a couple of reviews of a mouse or new $5,000 gaming rig without anything else.
I still pick up a copy every now and then but am disappointed every time compared to what this magazine used to be. They should be writing longer articles, more in-depth with more grown-up writing. The blogs have them beat with any up-to-date info, they need to set themselves apart with quality. See EDGE magazine in the UK for a great example of a gaming magazine (though it is mostly focused on consoles).
